Best feature -- storage for days. Easily fits two full face helmets whereas my Vino 125 won't fit even one.

I wasn't kidding when I said I can fit a med/large pizza and more than a 6 pack on my scooter

Set of new tires came in, had them mounted at the dealer today. Michelin Pilot Power RS, newest model.

Did a short ride, about 50km. Very stable mid-corner so able to confidently and rapidly open up the throttle. I would say for cruising and street riding, the difference is not vast over the 2CTs I previously had, but pick up the pace and there is improvement over the previous models.

Enregistré for a track day on 15 may

Did a 2,5h ride today with the neighbour, showed him some more roads. Patchy showers made one secteur of curves wet, but the second set further up the mountain was clear and wide open. I have so much work to do though.......

Looked at one today.

I'd like to demo that bike next year.

I think my Burgman is sold. Buyer just showed up with trailer after 3 hour trip

rrocket · « **Reply #471 on:** May 06, 2017, 05:55:52 pm »

SOLD!!

I didn't even know you put it for sale! Team Orange in the works?

blur911 · « **Reply #473 on:** May 06, 2017, 06:07:25 pm »

I have a DR200SE for sale if you feel like going slow, really slow

Maybe. But probably not for the time being. Don't want to spend $10k at the moment.

I'm leaning towards building up a CB500X to Rally Raid spec.

Have found a crazy deal on leftover 2016 still in the crate.

My helmet is ready for the start of the season. Had it done by BK Designs in Oshawa.

Fancy !

rrocket · « **Reply #477 on:** May 07, 2017, 11:33:59 pm »

Did you get some new, better boots or gloves?

I think it was your boots that let you down?

rrocket · « **Reply #478 on:** May 08, 2017, 06:18:30 pm »

Dealing with a motorcycle dealer (in the case of my potentially new bike) is just as distasteful as dealing with a car dealer. FFS....

The Honda/KTM dealer here seems to be not bad. The others, not so much.
