Hmmm. I might be interested in the tank thinger. not sure ill think on it..I use a magnetic OGIO tank one right now sometimes because it slaps on and off in 2seconds, but that would allow me to put a bigger bag on there. Will PM if I decide interested. Thanks!

here is a pic of typical load out (pre mods) and then just a neat pic to show how bike looks currently. hope to get a good pic on next trip to show both together haha.

 

It looks like this with a US5

 

you still have that bike? ive considered getting rid of it for an 890adv R for a cpl years now and cant seem to part with it. bought it new in 16. its awesome around town but my WR is way more fun for that stuff. something that could eat up highway miles sounds appealing

 

that is a fallacy

and only said by the people who bought the wrong boat...

 

Traded it for the Africa Twin

 

Boats are fun but a lot of maintenance...seems like my buddy is always working on his

 

it can be a lot for sure, but again it really depends on the boat

 

are you getting a ChrisCraft?

 

lol no not a chriscraft

 

not a bad way to spend 250k

 

Yeah that prob makes a difference... he swapped in two new 5.7 Mercruisers amongst other stuff. I think it's 21 foot so a nice size boat

 

BOAT = break out another thou$and

 

Got my dash wired up and working, now to just put it on the bike

I got 2 of the traveller switches, just need 2 splitters and another wiring harness. The 12v and USB/voltmeter will be run off the wiring already in place. The lights will have their own harness going back to the battery.

 

well you see there for example, he has two motors, its like having two sets of wife and kids... you gotta ask, do I Really need 2?





Boats are inherently expensive
but thats not to say you cant get out on the water with a boat for a super tight small budget, especially if you have access to calmer protected waters to play around in

 

That is true

What are you looking to get?

 

I am truly undecided, but something small and simple that can take a beating in "rough" seas would be perfect
something to rip around the bays and shallow waters would be fun around this neck of the woods as well


i think the problem is people often have a misconception with what they can and cant afford on the water, cant approach it like a car, its more like vacation money in a way

 

Yamaha jet boat!

 

I think he should also get a 90s cigarette boat. Like this:

 

That would be fun … when you taking us out @uurx ??

 

Couldn't stand it, so I threw the rear rack on
