Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I live on TN. I guess I also live in it too.

 

i thpught you might live across west end where all the streets are the names of states. is there much of a riding scene up there?

 

ohhh lol, nah I don't live in Sylvan Park. I know another member here does though. The riding scene is decent... since the season is relatively long and the roads are hilly and twisty (more so than Alabama anyways). A lot of dudes like to sit up at the big Exxon station near Broadway... the equivalent of mall-crawling if you ask me. Too much sitting and talking, not enough riding!

 

So apparently my VIN doesn't exist.

 

You must have the one off, ultra limited, special edition 390!

No one post videos of riding,lol. Tried out a new area by myself on Labor Day. Nothing crazy, but I'll post another one if I actually do something interesting and remember my go pro. There was a bunch of hill climbs I want to try when I get a buddy to ride with me.

 

I really need to get myself a KTM, not sure if I want the 450 or the 500 though

 

Just started the process of ordering a 351 big bore kit for my klx. Found out yesterday i'll be getting a few bumps in pay grade so as a present to me for sticking with it gonna upgrade my little monster

The 500 seems to be more popular. You can't go wrong with either. Never rode the 450s but the guys at the dealership said they feel pretty close the same.

 

plan to upgrade carb?

the 500s are excellent bikes. i have multiple friends who ride them on the street too and put countless hours without issues.

 

ah missed it. id really suggest getting the carb at the same time. big bore wont do much if you dont have the fuel to supply it (maybe your stock one can, idk?)

the pumper carbs make a huge difference in performance. even on my drz it was extremely noticeable

 

Most place I read say the stock one works really good with a couple tweaks. Im working with the engine builder to get everything right the first time

 

I just found out everyone hates Yammie Noob? Does anyone else watch these BSing motovloggers? I think cyclecruza is the only one that's not completely obnoxious and has useful info in his vids.. well and fortnine.

 

I really only watch the dirt bike motovlogs specific to Socal desert riding. The street bike and SM are kinda boring unless they are jumping off sidewalks and riding up stairs. I prefer that they are good riders just because they actually talk about doing certain enduro techniques. Like learn to jump over a k-rail. I also like to watch ones that have good wrenching techniques.

 

Am I allowed to talk about my quad here or will I get shunned?

 

I've put 80 miles on the Duke in the last 2 days, riding around the city streets with my roommate.

 

sure

80 miles is like one ride for me, haha

 

Sounds like 80 on the rear 40 on the front and a good afternoon to me

 

It was all city streets, no freeway and lots of stop lights lol. Gonna do longer rides once it's done with the break in and I can really take it on the freeway for more than a few min.
