motorcycles caused me strife

[minderaser]

I need to get a motorcycle again

Not sure if I want another crotch rocket or get harley/cruiser

[_ironman]

those aren't your only options. you could try a dual sport or a comfy naked bike

MV Agusta is releasing a Brutale 675

if i didn't have my Monster 696 i'd be all over that

[Osmosis Jones]

Thinking about picking up a Honda 919 in matte black....

[philosophiliac]

just took one of the new panigale s' for a spin in my lunchbreak.

holy.

shit.

[JackCrank]

Was it a ninjasword rocketship from the outerspace future? Because it looks like a ninjasword rocketship from the outerspace future and sounds like the laughing of satan himself.

Also, I want one. But I can't have one.

[philosophiliac]

yeah they're obscene. I have very little experience on bikes with that kind of power to weight ratio so it seemed even more mental to me than it would have to someone with experience on litre bikes or similar.

i don't think i'd ever actually own one but it was fun to hit the freeway and suddenly be doing a billion kilometres an hour.

and the noise. dear god the noiseurghleoejrnaf

[JackCrank]

Oh my god the sound. I've heard a few of them now. I swear to the lords of land, sea, and sky that a tuned Ducati exhaust note is the sound of Thor smiling.

[philosophiliac]

You talk funny. I like you.

[JackCrank]

Here's my ride in "getting there" state. Fenders and a new box section swingarm off a 1990 Radian are heading to the powdercoaters for some gloss black some time in the near future.

Oh, and these lovely 79 Öhlins beauties are being rebuilt, revalved, and resprung for their new owner.

[JackCrank]

I want this badly, but you can tonguebathe the inside of my oring if you thing I'm paying 89 fucking euros for that shit.

Obviously, you are not a golfer.

I want this bike to be my bike.

[Osmosis Jones]

ordered a custom full system for my Monster 696 back in September, finally received it recently!

wasn’t really happy with available options so I went custom with this company in Italy (FF by Fresco)

full titanium pipes + cans 1mm thickness; 2-1-2 single sided low mount. weld quality and finish isn’t the greatest but I don’t really care tbh

the full system weighs 4205 g (9.27 lbs); excited to see how much weight savings compared to the stock 2-1-2 double sided high mount stainless with aluminum cans. sadly that’s gonna have to wait until spring cuz it’s too fucking cold

since the baffles are only 115g each, don’t really care to take em out for weight savings only; but it’s the difference between 30 mm and 50 mm exit diameter (stock system is also 30 mm). i'll see if it is worth going deaf

also bought the first of many titanium bolts, and some magnetic parts trays for working on the car/bike. no more using those blue plastic bins that half pint mushrooms come in lol

Find a professional because a nice looking seat with good stitching will make or break a bike. I've seen too much duct tape hiding botched seats.

[Dex_star]

ya ghetto wrapped it so I can ride it around inn the meantime... but gonna refoam and get it upholstered right when I get the money, the seat pan is the only thing I'm happy with right now

Next question.. anyone know of some eye-to-clevis shocks shorter than the 11.4" ones that are everywhere?

If not gonna pick these up, unless anyone has anything bad to say about the company/product

My rig, DL-650/V-Strom. Almost too reliable and well powered, sometimes it feels boring. But then again it has taken me from Nova Scotia to Monterrey, Mexico without stranding me.

Galleana, Mexico.
