Not Dark Yet

I'll wait until they put that motor in a naked, like a V4 Tuono.

All you whores missed the bull horns on the front

Do you know how fast it will be with that on there? Do ya?

Nothing short of a full MotoGP bike will touch a star with horns.

ignorant whores, all of ya

Holy crap was that good. Wow!

I think the Tiger explosion is partially a result of today's tech media. We've been flooded with news of Tiger the family man golfer. It gets ingrained in our brain. When we find out that something we believed is false, we get curious.

Tiger needs to come out and take the media head on: "yeah, I banged a bunch of gold digging bitches, yeah I cheated, I like pussy and golf."

"Any other questions?"

He's not even banging hotter chicks..i think hes going for quantity.

Funny how sponsors are sticking with him. I dont see how this is lesser than fighting dogs as in the Vick case.

There's a huge difference. You don't see how cheating on your wife is < a felony? Really?

You have to do long big mile days when you can to keep the mile average up. If you do a 750 on the way to see the good stuff you're averaging that with a long 200 mile day taking pictures in the scenic areas. GNP is beautiful, it takes an entire day to enjoy it.

Here is my trip report and pics including GNP on my way to Deadhorse from this year.

I plan on hitting the Adirondacks hard for 2010 but if I have enough time left, I'd be interested.

We're probably pretty close. I'll bet my house arrest monitor wouldn't even go off from your garage...cool. What do I need to bring? I got a bunch of knives and nunchucks and stuff. Er wait, what kinda party is this again?

I'd like to meet new peoples. And, I can go out in public again now that the Browns have won a game.

Looks like the Strom performed well on a fun ride. Why not take your KLR?

Another Thurman burger fan. Sometimes the wait makes you want to stab someone though.

I will pay it off as soon as I get this global warming thing under control.

I think you should punch your boss in the face for giving you a $5K gift card instead of $5K. To the Diamond Cellar. For a dude. Seriously now.

Agree. What is the rest of this story? Why would your boss give you a $5,000 gift card to DC and not a bonus check of $5,000? Does the company you work for have direct dealings w/ Diamond Cellar? Some important info is missing here...

You cant be a coniseur if you are surprised by this ad. These people have been listing for years. Hardly anyone gives proper details anymore. Your lucky if they post pics.

I'm not suprised just disappointed with humans any more. I'm always on the lookout for a good deal and have bought 3 bikes from craigslist. I usually sort for ads w/ pics first. If you're too lazy to post a pic, I'm not gonna waste even a second clicking on your ad. It's the ones like ^ that waste people's time that

Ass a fine conisewer of teh craigsislist this add cofuzes me.

I really get tired of seeing (or not seeing in this case) this shit on c-list. You're not smart enough to tell us the year of the bike or how many miles are on it. These are the two things at the very least that should be in every vehicle ad. Is that you next to your bike in the 2nd pic?

How many falls have they taken while practicing? It's not like you can practice that in a foam pit. Wow.

I'd look into the SW Motech racks, I think it's a better setup than the GIVI's, and is plenty tough I've had mine down several times and it didn't even budge them.

Anytime you wanna go ride, drop me a PM! Strom owners need to stick together, ugly bikes look better in packs.

:tongue:

Cool:cool: Will do.

I've been looking at the DL1000, and probably picking one up here shortly. Just wondered if it was worth getting the 1000 over the 650.

If you like speed (with a ZX10, I'm guessing you do), and want 80+ mph for long periods of time, I would get the 1000. I'm sure the two 1000 owners in this thread will say the same.

How is it around 80 - 90? Not that I cruise at that speed because that would be illegal, but......

It will do it, but the engine will be "busy" and gas mileage will suck.

If I'm going to be touring at those speeds, I take the FJR:)

How does the 650 do on the highway?

Just fine. I have 27,000 miles on mine, stock gearing, and I probably avg ~ 75mph (GPS) when I'm on the highway.

You have to try hard to find a ride it won't take you on, and reliably and affordably.

Agreed. I bought my 05 DL650 two years ago with 3,000 miles for $4,200. I was coming off a long list of sportbikes and sport-tourers but wanted to start trying some of the dirt roads I had been seeing in my travels. What really sold me on the V-Strom was the pics online of how much it could carry. These things have 3rd row seating.

Although it was never my intention, my 650 has become the beloved beater of my garage. I take care of it mechanically but beat the crap out of it otherwise. I ride it far more than my other bikes and I take it places it was never intended to go. I started with a Givi setup until this happened.

I hit a patch of sand and lowsided at 55 mph. Just a banged up knee for me. The 650 went tumbling end over end on the rocks but the cases and mounts were intact and I rode it 2,000 miles home from Cali.

For 2009 trip to Alaska, I talked myself into replacing my scratched up Givi side cases with the Caribou Case 36L system. I wanted the extra capacity and Caribou touts itself as the "world's toughest M/C luggage" The cases, which are not made by Caribou, are tough, but the racks are total garbage. I had a 20mph lowside in deep gravel and the racks bent like tin foil. I plan on mounting my cases to Givi racks next and will probably get another set of 21's for local grocery runs and weekend trips.

I hope to meet/ride with some of you,

Brian

I give it thumbs up...but I'm 51% nerd.

disappointed...expected pics like,

New around here but sure enough to say the only thing gayer than "rep points" on a MC forum is posting a pic with a dick in your mouth.

... popularity contest:trophy:

Nick, I think I might have met you once..? 12org event maybe in TN?

Jesus loves this thread.

Welcome Doc. If you get a chance, post up a pic of your HD.
