Well said. While I love the Multistrada 950 I’m not going for ‘character’ any longer. In order of preference (price taken into consideration): VSTROM 650/800 Versys 650 Tenere 700 VFR800 TransAlp Africa Twin I don’t think a >1000cc is something I need in my life.

A face only a mother could love! I’d love a multi but the service costs scare the hell out of me.

RIP A childhood hero of mine.

Thanks. Bike was great for quick jaunts around town. But for full day rides…horrible for comfort, wind protection, and range. Off to something new when it comes my way.

This one is on my radar...not a fan of black though as I like my bikes to be a bit more visible. But I'd be lying if the VFR800 isn't calling my name.

Fair. I had the 500cc before and while it was good...it was meh. So going back down from 800cc -> 390cc was more of a curiosity thing. I'm thinking the 650cc is the lowest I'd be willing to go, but I also haven't ridden a KTM before so...

Alright I'll bite...why not? Scrambler sold in 24h since I posted it on the weekend so the bike is now gone and the new owner texted me last night saying he can't believe how great the bike is (now I'm regretting the sale). So I'm in the market again...but for now holding off as kids are...

Ooof....first vet bill came out to $700...not unexpected but zang.

I'd be lying if I wasn't considering switching the Maverick / Odyssey for an EV/PHEV right now...$1.72/L this morning in my area. Too many kids = not enough space in most vehicles besides a van.

Sadly I have to agree.

While I agree in principle of the changes and support them, one of the unintended consequences will be that now (even more so) there is a higher risk v reward of running after an accident. Not only should there be an increased fine/penalty for the drinking and driving (accident or not) but the...

Ok will give that a try. The largest gap was on the left vertical side where we added seals to try and close it up. Still can see some light shine through but it's more of the light going through the seal. I'll measure it out today after work and look at options or hope Mike has a door that...

Here’s the culprit….

Thanks! Biggest gap I see is around the entrance door which I can’t seem to plug up properly. Can see air through there before, so I installed seals and still seeing some lighter parts.

I thought so too….but spec sheet calls it 7.73lbs… Mind you there’s also a 2.91lbs in the same spec sheet…
