Nah not yet, still on the BMW. It's still like 35-40 degrees in the morning and heated grips/seat are too nice to pass up in that weather haha

Lol I just watched this yesterday, shortly after almost having an accident myself.

Was lane splitting, not doing anything crazy, maybe 20-25mph in heavy traffic. All cars ahead of me were noticing me and making space, until I came across one guy in a red Honda SUV on my left side. Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and just say he wasn't paying attention, and maybe had music too loud to hear me. When I was about 25-30ft away, he decided to either drift severely or take the opportunity to make a lane change. Tried braking but it was a little too close, managed to swerve into the right side lane at the last second, but not quite early enough due to another car being there. My left side bar end mirror ended up hitting his quarter panel lightly. Pulled over, checked my mirror which had no paint on it, and checked his quarter panel, which looked untouched. We both agreed to just let it go and carried on with our days. Thank God my bar end mirror is movable, and just folded backwards a bit.

 

@FreshOldTaco how you holding up over there??

I texted him. I really hope he is ok. I would drive up there this weekend and bring him a cheesesteak.

Im getting impatient with RMATV, but Im sold on their small tank bag. I really like that sunglasses loop haha. Until I found the OBR small bag tonight. I can accept an $11 increase, but would have liked the interior divider. Not sure if I have enough stuff to fill the larger bag. EDIT: now looking at the dimensions, maybe the larger bag would be a better choice. I still cant wrap my head around $175 for a bag..

I also think I like Giant Loop possibilities bags, maybe for my engine bars. I still cant figure out how to mount my Kriega, and I dont want to sell it yet.

 

ehhhh, I dont know now. I guess continue waiting for RMATV, but good to know there are other options besides a $250 bag from Giant Loop or MoskoMoto

 

@fatfurious2 interested in a Giant Loop Diablo? I’ve got one collecting dust waiting on another bike to go on.

 

Im interested, but don't want to pay 250, sorry. Shoot me a PM and some pictures?

 

It's official I'll be picking up the ktm 890 duke r in 3 weeks. I've already ordered a titanium exhaust system for it.

 

So true

Thanks I’m doing ok overall. It’s been 18 days since the crash and finally came home yesterday. Felt so good to sleep in the bed with my wife. I’m walking without any assistance but slow and leg is still sore. Have a follow up appointment today to get stitches removed. Then surgery next Tuesday to fix both my thumbs.

Very thoughtful David but don’t want you going that far out of the way. Also still have that mini Joe Rocket tank bag I posted a while back, free if you want it.

 

Good to hear your doing better. Still sending prayers your way buddy.
