What motorcycle(s) do you ride

Yeah, I’ll have to play with it. This is kinda taking on a Rat-Bike look, and although I’m putting comfort above style, function will have to be the priority.

If he dumped $27K on one I'm sure he can get the governor thing figured out.

Got rid of the Gunslinger seat, put an old cop seat back on it. Took off the rear lowering link. Got rid of the chrome saddlebag guards (saddlebags still pop on and off easily). Added passenger floorboards instead of pegs. Got a removable Mustang passenger seat, for the times when wifey wants to ride. Much more comfortable. Still need to drop the floorboards a bit.

for reference, as it looked this morning:

VERY NICE![Beer]

Just got back from a short ride. Deer Creek through Turkey Creek, Evergreen then home again. This King has no problem hitting "the ton" though I don't do that very often lol. Went from going to sell it to improving the intake and tuning to now I love it even more ahahaha. Happy Independence Day everyone!

I don't have anything against two-strokes, just little to no experience with them and figured not mixing fuel and a more flat power band would be easier for a beginner. How much are you finding ones like yours for?

My first bike in 1972 was a Honda SL70. Lately I've had the itch for one. I obviously don't make enough money to afford a 72cc 35 year old bike. FFS are they pricey in running condition.

7.5 hour trip to Salt lake city wednesday then back today..... ouch on my h2. Uncomfortable after 1-2 hours, outright agony by hour 6. By the last hour I'm going numb and changing position every 30 seconds trying to relieve the pain.

But was a nice ride, fairly scenic for being highway 80. I noticed wyo/utah drivers all will get over out of passing lane, but colorado drivers I'd have to pass on the right with prejudice. I also posted a pretty impressive high score speed before traffic became visible ahead and I started slowing down. (I'll only do stupid stuff when no one else is around to be at risk) Was suprisingly stable, I might not need to do a steering dampener after all.

3 of my rest breaks was just to clear my helmet visor of bugs....

Not sure you would to. I’ve seen plenty of vids of them tipping over and it doesn’t end well.

Riding today. Not sure where or when. Hopefully the wife can help decide. Maybe I?ll get lucky and miss any bad weather.

Actually decided to check the gas mileage on the supermoto today. Topped it off, rode 100 miles, and topped it back off with 1.3 gallons.

Looks like it got 76.9 miles per gallon.

Put that in your tailpipe and smoke it Prius drivers.
