Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I have a recurring dream that Im moving to the middle of horse country, and building a dirt bike track in my yard.. But I will not be using an EV moto, ill be using gas.

 

I had an older smaller version of that.. blob eye WRX wagon

 

Two peas in a pod buddy

Always loved the wagons. Pretty much every generation. When I was shopping around for the WRX, I almost got the last generation of hatch, but then decided I'd rather have a new untouched one than a modded one that IDK how it's been driven/taken care of. Subaru really dropped the ball cancelling the hatch. And again with the newest redesign but lets not talk about that.

On a side note, I've noticed a lot of tacoma owners on this forum and that I've met in real life, owned a WRX previously, or still do lol.

 

Subaru/Toyota owners are outdoor geared.. IMO

 

Yeah makes sense. I also think they are modification geared, and both are very mod-friendly vehicles.

Gorgeous blob-eye. Surprised you didn't go for gold wheels lol. Seems this is a recurring issue for you...

 

Sure we’re here for the bikes, but that’s a good looking pup!

 

It wasnt new. I traded my Element for it, and that had gold wheels!

the PO had green plastidip stock wheels, and I got whatever I could when getting rid of the green ones.

And then after the WRX I had another Element, and a 1st gen regular cab 2wd taco, before getting into current truck.

 

World rally blue, another nice color I was working at a Subaru dealer when the 2002 models first came out. Loved them ever since. This was our old '08

 

Owned a 02 bug eye and 04 saabaru.

 

My parents have had 3. 84 GL wagon, 95 Legacy LSi wagon, and an 03 Outback. That 84 had 500k miles and dealership maintained. The dealer actually refused to work on it because the frame rusted and they were scared it would break in half on the lift. My parents sold it to a friend for $1, and then went to buy the Legacy. Had that for 400k miles too.

 

Yeesh that's a bad color combo on the wrx lol. Don't blame you

 

Draco is such a good boy!

 

Maybe we need to start a Subie BS thread?

 

Motorcycle with a WRX engine, right back on topic lol

I think this is a great example of "classy tacky"!

I don't hate it, kind of impressively done I want to know what the matching helmets look like.

 

I might have but I think the FZ1 has a better base suspension, so I wouldn't have to upgrade right away. I really like that the bike I'm checking out this morning has only had one owner and is totally stock...

 

Leaving later today after work for a weekend ride. SPOT link if anyone wants to follow along.

Leg 4 on our Lighthouse Challenge, heading up to NY state to follow the shoreline of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie hoping to get pictures of 21 more lighthouses. Goes live around 5 pm.

 

Have you guys seen the Rizoma Stealth Mirrors that they're making for sportbikes now? Love the design and how they look, but $470 is one hell of a steep price for side mirrors...

So I went with the $100 ebay special, and installed them last night. Can't complain about em, field of view horizontally is improved but much slimmer vertically, as expected. Looks miles better than the stock mirrors. No clue if the downforce claim made by rizoma applies to these ebay mirrors, but i don't care all that much as I don't track (yet)
