Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

My buddy and I built an ‘01 SV659 for off-road. It was sick and handled great! Felt better than the vstrom that’s for sure.

 

I owned a ‘02 RC51 that was one bad mutha. Fire breathing dragon…it sounded so stout!

 

What are you planning on carrying in it? The main compartment is only 4 liters, which could fit like some pop tarts or something. The T18 is much more useable, IMHO. Biggest selling point is the possibility to run a water bladder and hose, imho. Quadlock is phenomenal though. I don't even use the waist strap anymore because the bag just doesn't move at all when I'm riding with it.

Here's my thoughts from 2020:

So ugh how much you want for the wr250r? Asking for a friend

 

Informative... First vid I've watched of yours.

Does your Supervision know you're making vids at work on company time?

just messsin with yea.

 

This

like brightly colored shackles would be considered farkle.

back to bikes...y'all are talking about your dream bike and I've over here riding mine daily lol. I do have a soft spot in my heart for resto-mod cafe racers though.

Nice tank bag.

 

Lol car and another bike... hopefully your wife is in a good mood !

 

That was back in the COVID times when I got paid 8hrs a day to sit in an office space while national guard did testing in one of our buildings. I'd unlock doors in the morning, sometimes lower the shades when it got hot out, and lock the doors when they were done. I almost miss it haha

 

I love my nomax. stays on my f800 all the time. I've never used it in backpack configuration but the bladder in it is amazing for touring without having to wear a backpack.

 

Just have to win the lottery first!

 

I heard @4x4Runner is getting a new toy. Its blue

 

Booty, boot, boots. Forma, Adventure Dry.

They finally had a size that fit. Damn things run large to me. Had to do a size 13 American, 47 Euro.

 

Let me know your thoughts after some miles. I run Sidi and Tech10s.

 

I feel you on that! I am about to clock some miles!

 

Also the 890r adv is fucking (.)(.)s y’all!

This bike screams, the forks are crazy plush..feels like I dialed in 500 just for a bigger bike.
The weight down low is very noticeable.

Oh I can throw this one around my hip and turn the bike in place. Could not do that with the 1190r without using the kickstand.

 

All these pics of KTM’s are killer. Always loved them and huskies.

 

Nice! I'm planning on Formas but half scared they won't fit. My damn feet are wide at the tow and narrow at the heel, and then I'm in a smaller size. Most makers assume that if you aren't in double digit sizes you must have small feet in all aspects. Half the time I have to buy a 1/2 or full size too big just to get the ball of my foot to fit in the damn shoes/boots.

You said they run large. What size do you usually get if not 13?

 

Nice! Exactly what I have. They are a little big for me too. But Id think better than being smaller. 4500 miles so far, and still comfortable
