Hahaha sorry Dan, I didn’t even realize you were planning to hit the road in these area again. In my mind you never gonna hit the tarmac here or in deals gap area and most likely out of US altogether.

@durk @Skinny guy are u guys planning to make it?

Only mods planned are smaller wind screen, exhaust and led signals to replace them giant pumpkins

Just wanted something with two up comfort but still lighter. Went against my notion of buying new compared to always picking up used. This comes with everything that I usually spend more on all the time. ABS, Bags, center stand, heated grips and added bonus of cruise. I know most of you guys gonna laugh at me when I say last bike for a long time. But it is, all the time I kept experimenting with different bikes since I loved riding plus the machine. All bikes I tried were vastly different from each other from engine to ergonomics to weight. Tracer Gt is like a culmination of all the good things I loved. Last bike since I won’t be putting Many miles on this, this is mostly for social aspect of riding more than the adrenaline endorphins aspect which I always associated with bikes. Bought new since it will like sit with me less miles for longer duration. Favorite engine : triple / enough power/ enough torque comfortable ergonomics: Vstrom like ideal bike weight for flick and tour for my size around 470lb Unique sound: not as sweet as VFR V4 like, but CP triple comes very close. Hopefully I will become just a simple bike show, parade riding like guy just puttzing around with this bike for a long time rather than the prodigal waster with his legs deep into coffin waiting for the right push

No way without at least around 30 to 40% straights or sweepers. But you guys will be just in the gap all the time and not running the other good stuff.

Technically, it will be the first for me too if off dates gets approved. June is always busy time with many folks requesting off same time. The best I came close to just overlapping for one day with OR looks like most of the usual suspects are coming or most likely coming. Hoping Pauly and @Tpoppa @Howabusa roamer decides to ride down at the last minute. @JustinNck1 @2talltim Hopefully they will jump in last minute as well. @hellmutt @snot what about you guys? @what needs to bring the st3 on top of the punk fun. @TimTheAzn do you still have a street bike? What about @Casper @cmh_sprint @OsuMj Marlboro man ?

Submitted vacation request for the same weekend.+ few extra days. Hopefully it gets approved. subscribed

Suppose to be spring early this year hopefully can make it. why this is such a good idea

Will see you in 164 in few months Rick haha Banning me will be best favor you can do as a friend, I am already starting to become sleepless. Posting crap at 1 am. And it’s not even riding season yet. Haha I know know one gives a crap, just a mediocre fun thing to kill some non riding days. And your right TMax was a very good choice. I looked into it a lot. Only if I had more confidence in my masculinity and or real bad ass attitude to life I would have opted for it and never cared what others think. I am not yet that pro in riding life cycle to rock the scooters yet. Still at side bags and top case is sexy stage. Stages of riding , it goes like this, starting days .. colorfully loud full fairing modern sports bike >> upright and or larger cc bikes are awesome>> actually smaller comfortable bikes are the best solution>> no fairing makes work on it so much easier, may be I need a handle bar riser on top of the other riser. >> need side cases and top case are so sexy and functional>> center stand is life>> May be scooters or Honda pan America is the ultimate truth.

Hello OR Fam, long time I been lurking unable to quit. But this has been the longest stint I been away from active riding. Almost 1.5yrs without any active miles on a bike. It doesn’t sound like much but for me it was a long time Usually I was able to go only like 3-4 months at best before relapsing. Well jerry not around anymore makes a difference too. This last January I was looking through old footage of our rides , then moved to OR group rides , epic rides and lots of other hours and hours of clips I have stored. And after hours and days of indulging in these I was starting to miss it. Still I tried to fight as much as possible, but the cycle trader app appeared back on phone, Craigslist app is always open on browser. And finally the nail in deaddiction coffin was when wife confessed she actually missed the two up trips we used to do a lot before becoming parents. And possibly wanting to start riding short trips again. And by Feb I was done and then started visiting showrooms to just watch from a distance. But it was like diabetic in a candy shop. In short back to my old ways I guess, with some difference. Mostly will be sticking to two up rides with better half to short stop destinations. Will try to avoid those crazy adrenaline rushes. Haha So guess what stupid OCD decision making I made. Wanted to keep the budget within price of previous toys. Don’t like the concept of excess spending or debt on toys. No more two bikes at same time. Clean simple bike Something I will be acting sane and can do two ups etc. I always said statistically we should all quit while we are on good side of the equation. Our bad day and number slot might just be around the corner. But gambling with 2 wheel is just soooo addictive. I will post as soon as someone makes the right call which is highly highly likely. In the unlikely scenario no one guesses right will post answer before I page thread finishes. No more dragging on like last time. If some one makes ales extremely good correct guess of year/ make/ model / the first right guy wins 25$ amazon gift card. Always the first guess only counted This is an act of repentance that I wanted to do since the very first “guess bike shitty” trend. disclaimer : Andy and jacob are dq from playing since they caught me red handed snooping around my top few choices. Don’t txt and give away the answer to the Asian as well Edit: sorry for large txt wall, but it’s winter might as well just just start the mental Moto engine to warm it up. I am getting pumped just like first time I was on here hehe

He is just a kid at heart

It was such a pleasant surprise to meet you guys there. I was hoping to scratch the itch away by just seeing bikes in person the price tags the actual weight height etc which in reality is usually worse than on paper figures & stats. And then ran across you guys and hanging out and talking bikes making me miss riding even more. Hopefully I don’t succumb to temptation again.

sold

Oh dang, just saw a tenere and black Fjr fly by, thought must be u guys haha

Hahah I was on four wheels hehe I just went and followed them since i miss the meet and the roads ... And the adrenaline saw u and @theroamr go the other direction on our ride.
