Rode north up to spend the week at my parents’, 250km on the motorway at perfect temperatures, 20/25°, just lovely. Didn’t feel like leaving my place, though. On the way here stopped at a gas station and went over to help a british couple that looked like were having trouble with a tire. Turns out they just didn’t know how to put in the coin into the tire compressor. They were very surprised to learn it was free They were also very displeased with all the bugs splattered on their otherwise shiny Kawasaki GTR 1400

Recommended intervals are a conspiracy!

Give him half ownership of yours, problem solved. Plus, nobody needs anything to join an internet forum.

What’s the point of watching racing to determine the best touring cruiser though? Might as well watch proper racing like the Bol Dor to then sell your Indian / Harley to buy a Suzuki / Yamaha.

wow, time passes

Cool kids, Phil, no doubt. Better make them members too! Love the little dude on the KTM!

You know, more than being the cool kid he might also bring the average age down a few years!

Hey @busabeast, might we be looking at the youngest ever member of the forum?

Is it good for going out for a coffee via dirtroads while pretending to be a dakar racer? I might be in that niche market ps: screw the lower version, doesn’t look like Gaston Rahier’s bike.

This is the knowledge Pete!

What are your thoughts on the Kove after what you’ve seen so far?

My grandad rode a motorcycle once. An army BMW, trying to get from the base to the nearest town pharmacy, he rode it through a fence and into a field instead That, as far as I know, is my family's motorcycling history. My other grandfather was very happy to upgrade from walking to work into riding a bicycle to work when he was young.

Spring sun seems to have arrived to my garden/wild meadow

Forget about using pumps for measuring or adjusting tire pressure if you want to be precise, particularly chinese crap like that. Get a good quality tire pressure gauge with a release valve, any motorsports online shop will sell them. Use any pump to overinflate the tires a little, then adjust using the quality tool made for that exact job. Something like this:

I meant it as a compliment. Must be a great feeling.

Congratulations! He does look like you!

Nice gravel road!

You guys are so mean

On a Harley, what counts is the quality of the acceleration, not actually accelerating. It's steady and solid acceleration you want, not rapid and agile acceleration. Weight and dense mass instead of unstable lightness!

It's not spotless though, it´s been abused (largely by me), is in serious need of love.

Going out to dinner with a couple of friends tonight, it looks like rain tonight so on´t want to take Maria's soft top as the top soaks up, decided to take the 320 even if it's in need of a proper service. Who needs brakes anyway? so just for @Saul: One main beam bulb was out, so got two and just fitted in 10 minutes, two Osram bulbs for 5€ Then checked the stoplights since I had a warning on the onboard "computer", as soon as I pressed them the warning went out, will look into it. Marvel in the sound of a rotting exhaust And since it'll be parked outside for a while, also turned the alarm on, which surprised me by working perfectly after many years switched off! There you go, happy motoring out to dinner!

Miss him too. He probably got annoyed with the place.

Yes, the superstitious bike thief who cares about not braking mirrors.

What’s the point in obsessing over having a Honda for it to be bulletproof to then not trust it when out of warranty?

Sofia is sort of nuts and I would keep clear if I were you. @Sofia?
