Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Cool. Wife an I went up and saw Genesis. The Last Domino, Tour. You are most likely to young to know the band or Phil Collins.

 

If I wasn’t an avid drummer that might be true haha

 

Rite rite. His boy on the kit did great.

Back to motorcycles... Thinking of an KLX300 or the CRF300L to tool around in the mountains. Looking at low weight to throw around. Have thought the ADV bike, but it would not see proper by me in my eyes.

 

I vote honda crf300l, but that kawasaki klx300 wouldnt fail either I am sure

poor phill though, between his crazy ex and his health issues, not easy

 

Sure wish Yamaha would bring back their larger XT models. Just the 250 these days.

 

Rite. What browsing I've done between the two has come up with the KLX being better at both on and off road over the Honda. But the support (accessories) goes to the Honda. Supposedly the Kawa has very little in anything aftermarket.

Edit: Phil did great and sounded good as well. even sitting in a chair for the whole thing.

 

100% agree. I have thought about trying to plate the WR450F. mucho fun then.

 

I've had good luck with Rocky Mountain MC. Parts Unlimited too.

 

Do it!

 

Tempting....

 

I’ve thought about buying an SR400 (SR500 overseas) based on the OG XT500 and doing some modifying to turn it into more of a Dual Sport machine. Would be a lot of time and money into a basically 80s bike though ha.

 

That'd be cool. But agree.. would time, monies and effort be worth it?.

 

I admit I just want a fun project to work on more than anything the one downside to such reliable Toyotas is they never give me reason or excuse to chop them up. Old used air cooled bikes are pretty easy to chop up and not be out too too much ha. The plan is to find land, build a house/shop (both postponed by current market), then start doing more stuff like that (for fun and for monies). We shall see.

 

we call that a bordello around here

 

Horsetrading paid off!


just brought this home

 

Anyone with a No.co charger know which adapter I need to order quick? Haha

I went for a chilly 30 degree ride and decided it was time to bust out the charger I was sure was a match… turns out it is very much not a match for my bikes charging port.

 

Almost time to wish there was pavement. We had snow but luckily it melted today

This is the one I have for going from noco to a standard SAE port.

Edit: that's actually a newer version, mine doesn't have the fuse in it. But it's what you need
