So I posted that I came back to riding after being off for a couple of years with an MT-07. Love that bike!.. but need something more gravel/dirt friendly, so the MT-07 got a big sister now. My friends were like "oh.. a blue Yamaha.. what a surprise!" :cool:

Just picked up a 2015 V-Strom with 8k miles on it. Bike looks new, but there's an issue. After riding for about 15 minutes, there's a very strong gas smell. I've pinpointed where the smell is coming from: between the front of the tank and the fork, on the left side of the frame. No smell when...

So I tried to start a "Riding Game" thread in a Facebook group for MT-07. Posted up the rules and the pic. Result: Not a single person bothered to read the rules :rolleyes: .. a dozen people just replied with a pic of their bike matching the challenge, but no new pic.. no new challenge. I've...

Of all the motorcycle forums / FB groups / Instagram topics, this is still the place I come back to when I want to feel "at home" :) I don't think I ever shared with you all that I stopped riding about 2 years ago. Several injuries (non-moto related) made it hard to ride and I just lost...

Classic HD *Ultimate Package* Motorcycle Tire Changer Kit. (retails for $949) plus hitch mount ($70) plus Large Balancing Cone Set for Single-Sided Swingarm Wheels and light car wheels. I originally got this tire changer for motorcycle tire changes (adds up, considering shops usually charge $50...

I've not logged on in years!! .. so amazing to see familiar names still frequent this forum! Just to catch you all up: I still ride a motorcycle (Have had my V-Strom 1k for about 4 years now.. still love it). I still bake a lot, but now it's mostly sourdough bread (for about the past 2 years)...

Loads of turns, loads of very steep climbs (some paved, some on dirt), waterfalls along the way and great views all around. Really glad I never attempted this loop on my FJR. V-Strom was perfect for this! http://joiseyboyz.com/pictures/trips/20180701/1.jpg...

All of these are within 20 minutes of my house. :D

Took the long way to the gym! Truly blessed! This bike is helping me explore all kinds of cool places near my house

This bike is allowing me to explore all kinds of new places. Lunch break ride FTW! Just 17 miles total, but 12 of those were offroad :D

SOLD: Givi V46 Monokey Top Case 46L Used for several years, but in excellent shape. I always used 303 protectant on it to keep it looking new-ish. Functions as new. I moved up to Givi V56, so I no longer need this one. $130 + actual shipping or pick up for free (can meet you within 100 miles...

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...

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...

: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.

.. since I last signed on, lol. Good to see many of the old timers are still around. At a glance, still looks like the best moto-forum out there. Any must-reads for entertainment? P.S. VT may not be the best state to live in, if you really love to be on 2 wheels. Longest.. Winter... EVER!

Few minutes from my lunch ride. Pretty much all of the roads around me are like this. One of the reasons I moved here :) Oh and the ride up the driveway at the end.. FJR with sport touring tires is definitely not the best tool for the job :| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRF0O68UCEE

Gonna be busy for a while!! SO much to do, but this is very exciting! Puts me within 20 minutes of my favorite snowboard / mountain bike location! Lots of twisty roads in the area too :rockon:

SOLD I was thinking to hold on to this bike, now that I bought a 2015 FJR, but I think I'll need to let it go. It served me incredibly well for 4+ seasons. Bike has never been dropped. 33,9XX miles on odometer. Michelin Pilot Road 2 tires have 2.5k miles on them (I got 12k miles out of my last...

Plenty of scuffs on them from my boots, but they've never been crashed and are in 100% working order. Right side has a stick-on heat shield (see picture). $325 + shipping (local pick-up welcome).
