Anyone get anything good for the bikes on prime day? I'm seeing a few deals on com units and some off-brand luggage that doesn't look half bad.

Also seeing a lot of random vowel brand air inflators, covers, soft tie downs, etc for dirt cheap.

I cancelled my prime membership in january or february and don't see anything crazy enough of a deal to re-up it again. Whomp whomp.

 

maybe I should sell you mine, if I decide to get GMRS for the bike

 

I'm eyeing cardos.... I have no comments and haven't rode with my buddy yet, but hope to.

Highly second this suggestion for street riding jeans

I have 3 pairs of them. Fits very nicely and the only reason I can tell they're moto jeans when wearing them is because they keep me warmer on the bike. You can usually find em at $100/pair on sale

 

I'm going to order a 4 port wall charger and 2 cases of castrol oil -

$61 Castrol Power1 4T 10W-50 Full Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, 1 Quart, Pack of 6

SCAMazon living up to the name. They claim its 25% off, but it's not. Revzilla shows the stock price is only 30 bucks more than the sale price. Far from $100 "savings" Scamazon is pushing.

 

Lmao this is about what my truck looked like when I took the dirtbike home. Luckily my buddy's ramp was a couple feet longer so not as steep

i ended up taking my bike carrier apart to bolt to my m100 (if i keep it) the main bar that goes into the hitch bent when i hit a good size bump so not a huge fan of this style anymore lol

 

the photo of the bike in the grass all alone is great! i really like that one!

 

I had an HF hitch mount carrier for awhile. After one use I could see it starting to bend with my dirtbike, I went to the local metal supply and sleeved it inside the main tube with a pretty well fitting square pipe, never bent any further. That stated, for the hassle that the hitch mount was and the fact I always have an open bed (no cap or cover) I just find a way to put it in the bed and figure out storage of things in the back.

 

i have two trailers so a hitch mount just isnt needed anymore for me. i plan to finish my utility trailer here this month so i can tow my buddies goldwing to Co. ill just put my bike in the bed of the truck for that trip. but any other time it will go on this little trailer i have

 

How heavy was the bike? I plan on using this on my SUV more, but slightly nervous about pushing it's 350lb tongue weight. My bike is like 265ish and the carrier is 36.

 

My WR450 fully loaded was probably around 290lbs. That big of a lever arm off the back definitely sagged the truck more than the same ~ 300lb of tongue weight of a normal trailer on a normal ball.

Not sure what SUV you have but some air bags out back will do wonders and if you go that route likely wont even notice the weight (just think how much weight it would be with the SUV loaded with people)... hell your SUV even if its a tiny like HRV probably has more payload weight than most tacomas..... #sad.

 

Yeah I got bags for the truck but I am trying to avoid bags on the Bronco since it's got the HOSS 3.0 shocks and I don't want to interfere with their function. I pick it up Thursday so we'll see, I want to try to use it to take the bike riding Wednesday next week as a test before I use it to camp for the August dual sport. Want to sleep inside it for that trip.

 

wait bronco? like a new one?

 

Yeah

 

oooh interesting you get a 4 door or two door? i tried finding one before getting my ranger but couldnt find one for a good price...

 

You'll see Thursday. The dealer is 5 mins from me and it's been killing me not taking just taking a quick drive to see it. Might do it tomorrow after I drop off my son at daycare. Spent half of today getting all the financial shit in order. Just saw your Ranger build, and noticed you have what looks like a Heeler too?
