Use to have a Grom and I kick myself almost daily for selling it. Little bikes are an absolute blast around town!
Wanted the honda, but they cost almost double what I paid for the kawi... Couldn't justify the difference

So, I went out and picked up my first new bike...
Meet Bernadette! 2018 z125 Pro
Local kawi dealer had her sitting on the showroom floor. A leftover from 2018, in my color for 2/3 the price.
My wife will probably end up using it as her primary bike, but I totally bought it for me.
The XX is great at everything, but absolutely hates long trips around town.
Bernadette is perfect for this application.
More pics to come once a few parts come back from powder coating.

Bought the xx without riding it.

I'm younger than you, I stand up on my pegs to stretch the legs fairly often during rides, I'll also rest my chest on the tank bag from time to time. Got a throttle lock, so sometimes I'll hit that and then sit straight up and just lean a little to adjust my line in my lane.

Also a member of the "I have a short wife" club, 4'11
Mine's not interested in a grom, though, so I got her a Mini Cooper convertible for her 30th birthday

I did the LA ride a few years back. Did it in 1 week, including a full Saturday in LA.
Do NOT try a new shampoo on the first night of the trip, my head was itchy as hell the whole way from St. Louis to Amarillo.

My customary suggestion: Pirelli Angel GT
7000 miles out of a rear, double that from a front on my 01 XX

New Kawasaki version of the vfr?

I dig my pixel XL...
If you're an apple fanboy, there's very little reason to switch anymore. Apple is finally catching up to the important features other phones have had for years.
The thing I like about the pixel is the lack of bloatware, vanilla Android, and all the earliest updates... It's also easier to mod things if I get bored.

Keep the eyes peeled, haven't gotten bothered by Ohio's finest in a few years now.

Shinko dual sport tires get pretty good reviews.
I've heard good reviews from tank, he ran shinkos on his vstrom. These guys were talking about sport bike tires. Swearing up and down that shinkos were better than Pirelli, Avon, and Continental... I gave them room cause it's been a while since I really investigated tires. I buy Pirelli Angel GT because I'm used to them, and know their ride and feel pretty well...

What oil is best for silly riding, asking for a friend that's running Shinkos and likes chicken wings
On that point... Did shinkos become a quality tire brand recently? I've heard a group of riders talking about shinkos like they were made of gold or something. Wasn't sure if they were just terribly misguided, or just closer to the pulse than I am...

...when visibility is best, deer are sleeping, and drunk drivers are few.
Not quite sure what you're saying here.. are you afraid for the safety of the deer, the crazy fast motorcycle riders or the drunk drivers?

If I get busted for speeding for just 10 over the limit because they increased surveillance due to your triple-the-speed-limit, that's not being a hypocrite. Thats just gonna piss me off.!
It DOES make you a hypocrite. Speeding is against the law. If you're breaking the exact same law yourself, you're being a hypocrite for bitching about others breaking the law...

The other question is Why? Anyone with a sportbike can pull the trigger and hit 130 on a straight freeway. Take that bike to a twisty road and enjoy some corners. More fun to go faster in the turns than in straight sections.
More fun for YOU... Maybe the Pinnacle of exhilaration for me is tripling the speed limit on a multilane slab... You don't know.
And if they do increase patrols and you get busted for speeding in that same stretch, you're just being a hypocrite.

Seriously????.. Do I really need to explain the obvious ???
Yeah.. I guess you do cause people speeding in cars isn't endangering your freedom to drive... It's it?

Lol... How do their actions put our freedom at risk?

So if the rules get changed so players "must" stand... What happens when they start raising their fists like the Olympics protest?

I'm good with it.

I ride when the urge strikes me. Some years I put over 10,000 miles on, other years a couple thousand...
I agree with bubba, if you're finding that you're not riding, sell... If you get the urge again, buy...
Like what said, there are tracks in Florida, you might find track riding to be that perfect space filler between your long rides to places you haven't gone yet...
