Looking to getting past the 500 mile breakin but with the craziness and the weather that might take longer than I planned.

How many bikes do you have at the moment. Seems like you get a new one every few months.

Motorcycling is an ideal social distancing activity...

Thanks, this one is a hoot to ride, not doing touring anymore so I like something fun to bomb around for day rdes. I have a swing arm bag on the left side that holds just enough for being out all day. That 5 gallon tank gives me good range too. The redesigned chassis added lean angle too so it's real fun in the twisties for a big heavy bike.

Some of my friends say I change bikes like others change socks lol. This is the only one, sold the Roadster I had-which I loved customizing and riding but the ride was just too rough for my old body. Plus with it's (relative) speed and tight handling I could see myself getting in to some trouble if I didn't watch it haha. This new one is just tons of fun and I prefer more minimal bikes these days.

Just picked this 2011 70? Husaberg fe 570 S up from a friend. It?s been a dream bike of mine for a while. I?m excited about working on setting up to my liking.

Right now I?m intending to set it up as a lightweight Adventure bike. Great thing about this one is it is titled and plated.

Personally, I hate adventure bikes. It's like a Crossover Car, not good at anything.
