I had the trailmax missions on my ktm 790 adv, would buy again. Whether they are a good choice for you depends on what kind of riding you will do.

Did you end up ordering from them, if so how did it go? Looks like they have their own in house brand called Course which makes good looking reasonably priced gear and luggage.

That's exactly what I did when I first started touring. It worked, until it didn't. I rolled into Edmunston NB at 9pm as it was getting dark and found every single motel in town full. So I had to ride 30 minutes in the dark down a road with moose warning signs to get to the next town. My...

What would be more comfortable on extremely hot days, the white HWK pants or kevlar jeans? I find that even jeans are too hot on the hottest days, especially if you're not moving fast. I was thinking of getting the Scorpion Drafter mesh pants but the HWK pants are 1/4 the price.

I agree with you Wingboy. I think these are a good option for somebody on a tight budget (I mean somebody genuinely on a tight budget, not somebody who has money but is just a cheapskate) because they are surely more protective than just riding around in jeans, but if you can afford something...

Some of the amazon reviews mention low quality stitching. The seams coming apart is the last thing you want when you're sliding on the pavement. Also this guy did a review and his pants are wearing badly:

I would get the KTM 890 adventure over this. Better able to handle drops. Lighter, plus the weight is way down low. Probably easier to work on too. The air filter is literally under the seat, no tools required (or maybe a single screw, I forget).

Can't you just stuff a rag in it.

Yesterday was the last ride of the year for me. Today I'm gonna winterize it. :)

Too late. If somebody wants this class of bike, they probably already own a ktm 790 which came out in 2019.

I'd move to the east coast, cheap houses plus I could ride the cabot trail often. :)

Even the smartest minds on wall street can't beat the index consistently. If you managed to do it this year, you got lucky. Fooling yourself into thinking it's anything more than luck is just gonna hurt you eventually. I stopped picking stocks once I realized this and now I only buy the index...

You mean get lucky.

How's that when the tsx and nyse are both down since january?

They arrived and I tested them out yesterday. You were right, they get pretty warm but not really hot. They are better than nothing though. They also add bulk to the grips, which I found a bit annoying. I'd say for $23 they're worth it if you're someone who only rarely rides when it's cold but...

I wonder if it could be that when you travel far from home, you tend to stay on the main highways where you are less likely to encounter douchenozzles.

The thing I hate about the oxfords is the giant control unit. I prefer to have as few things cluttering my handlebars as possible. Some grips like the apollo kosos have the buttons built right into the grips, seems much smarter to me.

Dangerous how?

Not sure how effective they'll be but I just ordered these: IZTOSS Motorcycle Electric Heating Handlebar Warmer, Scooter USB Heated S9J7 | eBay Anybody tried them or anything similar?

The ones I tried weren't very good anyways.
