She's only 5'4" so I don't think she'll be able to get on an Africa Twin. She had trouble getting on the NC700X. We're going to list the V-Star on CL. I've taken a bunch of really nice pictures of it to that end.

This does sound counterintuitive. You'd think people would actually want expensive and extra useful stuff like saddlebags and removable touring windscreens and fancy comfortable grips. I can see them not wanting a loud exhaust but in this case we don't have the original. The bike came with the...

So where is Jimmy Hoffa buried? :D

I did this on a few occasions last summer. August and September. I would douse my shirt in water before leaving work with the knowledge I would be parked on the Blue Route forever and a day with the radiator fans cooking away at me. It helped but once moving the shirt dried up quickly.

Dang that's an exceptional deal!

It's a relief to know you had something on at least ;) I almost bought Icon gloves when I was in Revzilla but instead ended up with these Alpinestars https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-smx-1-air-gloves The salesperson was really pushing me to buy a new brand - Reax I found...

Hey /gatdammit/ I love your contributions too. Thanks Compromise is becoming a giant pita for my wife. All told she’s got more road biking experience than myself. She got her motorcycle license at 18 and didn’t have a car license until she was 30. The lady has ridden some serious miles. But...

The Dainese Spedio jacket seems to be sold out on Ebay too.

Cheap is good. That will be a nice contrast to my HS ;) We're going to give the bike a look over and test ride later today. Thanks for posting that review @m00se

Good to know! The storage is a big plus. The V-Star has saddlebags but they’re too small to hold much. Certainly don’t fit a helmet. Thanks for the link, I’ll go snoop around over there.

I think boring and low revs won’t be an issue for her coming off the V-Star. That bike has a terrible rev limiter and is the most boring cruiser I’ve ever ridden. It’s handling is slow and it’s so low you’re constantly scraping the pegs. She’s going to appreciate a better handling bike that...

Sweating hands became problematic a few weeks ago so I rode down to Revzilla and got some lightweight mesh gloves. So now I need the rest, jacket, pants boots etc. that will keep me from barbecuing to death this summer. I'm working with much less money now so bargain suggestions are a huge...

My wife is looking to trade in her V-Star 650 for the NC700X. She's got a fused ankle and shifting gears has become too difficult for her to manage anymore and the DCT transmission seems ideal as a solution to her problems. Anyone here have any opinions or experience with this bike? Thanks

Moving to Europe sure would be nice. Spain possibly. Heck just moving to another state in my own country would be great if it is one that isn't so massively overpopulated as here. So the Susquehanna valley sure is nice for riding. But realistically how often am I going to be able to ride there...

Here's my HS after crossing the stream on Fishing Creek Road.

So I rode farther West yesterday into Lancaster County. The smell of manure became overpowering at times but as I reached the valley of the Susquehanna the roads became nice and hilly and curvy. I even found a great unpaved road complete with several stream crossings called the Fishing Creek...

LOL! Hot damn I just found a Missing Foundation sticker! I need to order this too now! The Partys Over Hmmm where on the bike can I fit it? I think it's time to rip the badges off of the gas tank!

oops I forgot The Damned! I have their sticked on the other side of the rear fender opposite The Clash

Museum was easy. I pass through this park on my commute.... https://www.google.com/maps/place/Colonial+Pennsylvania+Plantation/@39.947059,-75.4706871,14.24z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sdelaware+county+pa+museums!3m4!1s0x0:0x285e6b36c04d5f52!8m2!3d39.9649512!4d-75.449059 Colonial Pennsylvania...

Just so nobody wastes their time. This location's gates are indeed closed and locked again.
