What did you do to your bike today?

[durk]

After 7yrs and 40,000 miles piled on I sold her for what I paid for her.

Sell the old Wing too, add in the CBR money and get a new Wing?

In the original purchase price's defense wasn't it yellow and blue then?

They’d have to change the seat on the new Wing in order for the wife to even think about that. She actually just had me install armrest for her on the current wing. She calls it her baby carriage because she falls asleep back there. Looks like an old fart owns it but she’s comfortable. We are actually on a motorcycle trip this weekend. I didn’t get yelled at too much for ripping through West Virginia 50. I called that a win.

It was and had 24k on the odometer. Some people thought that was high miles. 🤷‍♂️

Somebody told me they’d report back on a seat just like that. Did I miss that report?

@durk, are you replacing the CBR with something zoomy?

Not currently. I’m looking to put the money towards another sport quad. I see another Concours in the future though. I realize now I sold the wrong bike last year. The CBR was getting too painful for the repaired ACL knee.

Took it off before this trip. It raised the wife too high for her floorboards. I got brackets coming to fix that. Then I will report.

I have about 150 miles on it. I love it.

I think the guy that was going to review that seat may have paid like $2000. Just think for another $2000 he could’ve had a bike and comfy seat. 🤷‍♂️

If you used your front brakes more, and engine braking less, your rear tire would last longer.

Never been a fan of Bridgestone...on the other hand the Conti Road Attack 3 is the grippiest ST tire you can get (even the RA4  doesn't claim more grip over the RA3).  The Dunlop Road Smart 4 has "almost" as much grip as the Road Attack 3 but tends to last a bit longer (the RS3 is sorely lacking in grip...do not recommend).

I came back to my senses after a short episode of temporary insanity and possible dementia where I test rode and considered buying a newish HD.  

Thank goodness the Harley dealer had deceptive & predatory sales tactics which snapped me out of it.  And instead I bought a minty fresh 2020 Triumph Street Twin

**note** the Harley M8 motor (especially the transmission) feels more like a modern motorcycle and less like farm equipment.

Has anyone tried Tweensport Dunlop Mutant Tires?

[JustinNck1]

Loaded up and heading south for the smokies. Took 16 through WV/VA, staying in Abingdon, VA tonight. Staying at the gap store the next three nights.

Down here having fun…

Nice Wing in that pic.
