B-Mac Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Looking for Grom Deal. The only way I will ever get my wife back on two wheels and off the F-ing Spyder is to Build her a bad ass Grom Adventure bike to open up new venues of back road bliss and all of the nature shit talk. So looking for a well sorted,(Tuned) Grom that I can bolt on ADV stuff and add years of happiness to our marriage. I promise you wont see ME out having fun on the Grom only limited R&D/Testing stuff. Or I can wait for a Honda CT125 hunter cub. Edited August 25, 2020 by B-Mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Oh yeah! A build thread. Keep us up on this please. Sounds like fun. Did you read about the couple from New Zealand who rode Groms across the TAT? https://advrider.com/f/threads/tat-2018-honda-grom-edition.1324638/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Drove up to Iron Baloney motorsports on Sunday and they had NO Grom's, NO Monkey's what a shit show. On the plus side we had lunch a city BBQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Why a Grom and not something like a TW200 or DR200 etc.? I mean I get the cool factor of an adventurized Grom but from a practical perspective and small dual sport is going to be better on dirt and pavement. That said if you do an ADV Grom build keep us posted, I will definitely be following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thouse are all great bikes and I have ridden all of them. I must proceed with caution. The Mrs is 63yo and has a 29inch inseam. She road two wheels 89-2010. three wheel spyders 2010- now. I have a friend tellico plains that has two Monkey's to play with on the dirt roads when he is not jamming his Husky 701. He said the erogo's on the monkey is better suited for off road than the Grom. We are going to the Honda dealer and check out both and see what feels good to her. I can make anything work, I just need to get her head into my plan of attack, She's retired Air Force and that's a constant mind fuck for me, Army man. I will keep up-date's as we move on slowly.
