Shinkos have no edge, plus they are hard compound.

Frogg Toggs when gears not waterproof,the pullover I put hood in helmet. Keeps water out neck.

Nice bike

I'm at work and you guys suck. Hey everyone have a good ride, be safe and go fast.

Any big ADV is going to be a trade off, rode my STen to MMM in Tennessee around 800 miles round trip, its not a FJR but not to bad. Did about 200 miles of dirt/ mud/gravel its not a dirt bike but its not bad. Funny we didn't see but 3 big KTMs there and no 990/950s. Mostly GSs,STens,Triumph Exp, a few VStroms. There is no one perfect machine. The A/T looks promising but I'll stick with the big Yamaha.

On the up side Honda has had time to study the market and the competition. Hell it looks a lot like my Tenere head on.

Let's see how it stacks against the other XL ADV bikes. Most of them never even see a gravel road let alone real dirt. Honda made 650/750 A Twins for years both solid bikes.

Yep it was, Cathy and I got a sweet little place out in the township. Y'all need to come.out & we'll grill some dead animals and drink beer.

Hanging out with y'all sound good. And getting a little older. You?

Work wins again, can't make the ride. Have to go for the dough. Sorry big guy I was hoping to see you that Snot chick.lol Give me a shout Jason maybe you and the little lady could come down and chill at our country place.

Not gonna make it. Something big at work and I have to go with the $$$.This grown up life is starting to suck.

If you want use Apex cycle get with me Lou is a good friend of mine.

Welcome, I'm not too far away. I know most of the twisty roads just south of you. HMU if you want to ride some evening. Ceasars Creek area has a few good roads.

Glad your back Brown

Pretty much sums it up.

I see a similar thing with ADV bike owners. Spotless bike, $2600.00 in Klim gear sitting at Starbucks. My STen is rarely clean and my gear carries mud from four states. And they look at me like I'm from another planet. One asked me if my knobbies were too loud for street riding. Too loud??? WTF

Training wheels, hell I never even had them on my bike as a kid.

Sumo or an ADV bike, either way you'll be a happy boy.

You telling me do rags and fingerless gloves don't scare the hell out of you?

Sceew that if I want to see a 60 year old woman in a thong I'll just look over the fence at the girl next door. hahaha

But you look so badass when you roll out of the cul de sac in your little biker costume.

Bled brake & clutch fluid on the Feej then a shakedown run.

Ceasars Creek / Oregonia area has some good roads.Hit me up I could show you around one evening.
