Hahahah yes that can happen, but coming from FJR... it's still "slow" lol

Elevation is relative to the height of the starting point :D But yes.. I definitely want to spend some time riding on west coast .. and maybe Europe :D

Make sure your chain sad is correct. The more sag the more you'll feel the ON from OFF kick. Just don't make it too tight (stay within recommended limits). G2 Throttle Tamer works. https://www.g2ergo.com/store/g2-street-tamer-throttle-tube/ This came on my V-Strom (also known for twitchy...

Wow what a special one this was! This was our 1st time going to Maine so we wanted to make the most of it. We left at 8am Saturday and rode 5 hours straight to get to Portland. Consumed copious quantities of lobster rolls. Checked into our hotel and then uber'd back to town center for some...

I hope to, one day!

lol Groms are super fun! I use them when I couch and I did consider getting one and setting it up for offroad use. Might still do that!

Rolling off aggressively = cannons firing! hahahah

OK maybe not slow, but coming from FJR and FZ1, my new to me V-Strom 1000 is very ... unfast. Heck, it would probably lose to FZ6 in a drag race, BUT.. that low end torque makes it SO much fun to ride! Cruise casually at 3k rpm (or even slightly lower), twist the throttle and the thing just...

I'm loving my V-Strom so far. Way easier to do this sort of thing on it compared to FZ (6 and 1) and WAY easier than on FJR. Looks like fun.. you'd probably enjoy trials riding.

Nice job! Do you find this sort of challenge easier on Multi vs FZ6?

Happy birthday!

It'll get better. Just put some time in. Did you take MSF BRC? Remember the first riding exercise? Friction zone! Just do a bunch of that. You'll make friends with it in no time. Not to start a cable lubrication debate, but just to give you a perspective: Having dealt with cables of this type...

FZ6 has notoriously short friction zone. It's like an ON/OFF switch. I've ridden FZ6 with Killernoodle mod and to be honest, I did not like it. Yes, it feels like the friction zone is extended because you're changing the pull ratio, but it also feels "dead", if that makes sense. My preferred...

Holy cow that was a give-away! That luggage setup alone is well over 1k!!

If I'm not mistaken, TB is the only exhaust which cannot really be quieted down. Instead of barrel-like inserts most companies use, TB just uses tips, which help quiet it down some, but not nearly as much as DBkillers from Scorpion or Leo Vince. For those who don't mind the loudness, TB sound...

Yeah... depending on how crazy I get with off-pavement outings... :O :O :O

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Gonna be a while before it actually gets here (at least 2 weeks), but payment's in. Liked that bike ever since I 1st demo'd it. Should make for some fun adventures here in VT.

You're short 700 miles away from Pittsford VT.. I'll get the stove going! lol

Haven't gone too crazy with yeast. Just sticking to traditional recipes. Did find that it's WAY too cold in my house, so any time I use yeast, I bring the oven up to 100, shut it off and let the dough rise in the oven.
