I think I remember him. First time I went on the Solstice ride with you and your buddies. IIRC he was stupidly quick on it.

$5200 for a 390 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1LE75MttY6/ Anyone have one? How are these for longer distances?

This bike is an attainable goal for me at some point in my life. Currently I want something better for day touring….that ain’t it. Maybe one day.

Your posts are making me weary of following the service manual for oil changes on my little Mav. Thinking I should do them every 5-8k instead just to be safe.

Nice setup! I love how you're able to put the jack underneath the engine. I have the same jack I bought off a GTAMer and can't figure it how to use it safely as the bottom of the Scrambler is only the engine, and I'm concerned about using that as a jack point.

100% would requiest a structural inspection / review before I touch anything. I'd say it's maybe...50-100sqft that would open up, but it's a massive difference if taken out properly. One concern is how to support the ceiling when that whole corner is taken out. Once it warms up I'll go up...

I think my wife was bored last night... 'So...I think we should make the living room a bit more open concept' 'OK. But there's a chimney in the middle of the house from roof to basement' 'It's just bricks. Can't you take it out brick by brick? We'd have so much more open space in the living /...

I think you're right. The 650 VSTROM/VERSYS are at the top of the list. Tiger / BMW F / Fazer / Tenere are very nice...but are much more expensive unless I go back a handful more years. Africa Twin would be my #1...but damn the pricing!

This a good price? Bad price? https://www.facebook.com/share/1FU4C32Dke/ My knowledge of the German motorcycle market is very limited…

Not if I push it!

Fired up the Duc last night to make sure it actually starts this season. Happy to say no issues. Was too late and had a few drinks earlier so wasn't going to risk even around the block. Let's see how this week goes.

My tracker shows 5.9L/100km. Just being overly conservative. 5L should equal to an extra 80-100km.

It had its good points. But the boredom of riding an applicance doesn’t want to bring me back.
