The PR5 on the back on the MT is pretty much wore out. I figured since I'm trailering it to the gap in a few weeks, why not try one of these sticky tires everyone raves about. Got a Q3 to try.

Can anyone think of a good reason why all motorcycles don't have electronic cruise?

Throttle by wire makes it incredibly easy now.

I noticed that nice wheelie on 78.

Allegedly 🤣 I may have wheelied a few times...

Got out for a short ride Sunday, met up with @Blitz and @Howabusa for a little while. The more I ride the MT, the more I fall in love with it. I just keep throwing it around more and more, it just keeps on delivering.

Its official. The Indian FTR1200 coming this spring. I cant wait to ride one.

How many miles did you get out of it

OEM Bridgestone S20 lasted 1800 miles. The Michelin PR5 has 3600 on it. Probably good for a couple hundred more. Since I'm heading to the gap, I picked up a Q3 on sale.

Ordered a new rear tire for the MT. Seems like all I do is change tires...

I fought the HID crap in cars and bikes for years. Dealing with ballasts, flickering, and power issues. The auxbeam LEDs are awesome. Got them in the FJR and my Honda Accord.

Anyone else? @JustinNck1

 

@2talltim and I are planning on make a quick trip 20th-22nd. I cant get off work so gonna have to drive through the night on a Friday and head home Monday.

I think we all hit that slump, some more than others obviously. I have been trying different types of riding to keep the spark going. Did my first track day this year. Had a blast, but trailering 3 hours makes it tough for me. This time of year is tough usually too. End of the season, kinda getting burnt out of riding for the year. Maybe time to try a non Powersports hobby over the winter? I used to do a good bit of sim racing in the winter. Maybe by spring you'll have the itch to get back on the bike more.

Finished my 5k in 26:45. My goal was to be under 30 minutes. I've never ran outside, just on the treadmill, so I was pretty stoked with my results.

Running my first 5k tomorrow morning. Through downtown Marietta so it should be relatively flat.

I'm free Sunday. Running a 5k Saturday morning, should be free after that.

I've had ABS kick in countless times on both the FJR and the MT. Majority due to acting like a fool going in too hot. The times when it's a car pulling in front of you, I really am glad I have ABS.

IP is always high on their stuff. Is yours an ES?

Yeah their prices are outrageous. Mine is not an ES. I didnt want the hassle of issues with the ES for service.

My birthday is October 8. Someone should buy me this used 2016 FJR ES with 5485 miles that Iron Pony has.

Paid less than that for mine new.

Depending on work schedule, I may be available. Nomad style trip or home base style?

JustinNck1 are you going to ride tomorrow 

Yes, @B-Mac and I are discussing some different route options. Trying to change it up instead of the normal roads.

I have to work Saturday, might be out Sunday and Monday depending on weather.

The real question everyone has is, when are we gonna see some dank whoolies?

Sportbike guys are buying Sport Touring bikes and Sport Touring guys are buying sport bikes. The world is upside down...

Finally sat down and adjusted the suspension on the MT. Everything was set to full soft. Now to see how well it handles tomorrow...

Can I get a price on a RF1200 Solid White Size M?
