    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I went and threw a leg over the Africa twin. I have to admit I really like the idea of the CarPlay. I definitely don’t want the dual clutch model. My biggest hangup on that bike right now is what seems to be the lack of aftermarket support. Only a few pannier systems available and they are a...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    So after talking with Edge Powersports they are saying Suzuki hasn’t even let them order the 2022 1050’s so I think it’s time for a new plan.

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    So far no luck. Plenty of dealers willing to take my money but none of them have even a rough estimation on if or when they might see a 1050xt adventure. I can’t get anyone to answer emails or phone calls though so I still need to stop in south of the valley to talk to some more dealers. It’s...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    That little 650 was a good bike. I put about 8k miles on it and really enjoyed it. But I did take it up to Boise a few times and it wasn’t the best at 80-90 mph oh the freeway. I like the 1050xt myself. I like the updated electronics and cruse control. I love the long service intervals. I...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    This is interesting I had no idea that Harley made an adventure bike now. I owned a road glide for a while and while it was fun I have to admit I’m not really a Harley fan. But it’s definitely worth checking one of those bikes out I do like that it has a fixed faring that would make it much more...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I remember reading that thread. And it’s honestly the only reason the ktm is on my list. my trip will definitely see it’s fair share dirt and logging roads and I know the KTM would just shine compared to a V Strom. my biggest hangups on a KTM are my personal experience owning one. given it...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I’ve owned a vstrom 650 And the off-road capability of that bike was enough for me. However I want something that handles interstate better. @ 230lbs it didn’t give me the passing power at 80 mph I would want in a bike for the type of trip I’m planning. The new Vstrom 1050 adventure looks like a...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    So I can’t stop daydreaming of punishing myself with a very very long ride. And I need a bike to do it on. Here are some of my wants. Something capable of very long days on asphalt. Able to handle dirt roads and mild two track I would prefer getting something brand new if available...

    Katzkins Leather interiors

    That’s great feedback. I’ll give them a call. I feel like me installing leather would be like me thinking I can install dirt bike graphics. They end up looking good from 10’ but up close you can see I really had no clue what I was doing.

    Katzkins Leather interiors

    Bumping this old thread. I recently bought a 2017 Tahoe and just received some black leather katzkin. I’m not sure I want to do the install myself. Can anyone recommend a place or person that might be willing to do the install? I’m happy to pull the seats and deliver them out of the vehicle.

    Topic of Discussion Any PC builders on here?

    It’s insane. The cards I have in mine and my boys computers we paid $300 for June of 2020. That same card is going for $600 today and that’s down from $900 just before Christmas. I really wanted to upgrade them but a card that should cost $700 to $900 are selling for over two grand. Even in June...

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    They won’t let me buy two at that price unfortunately. If I go this route I’ll probably go bikes direct as they offer $140 gift cards each bike that I could then use Towards getting me something.

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    I actually went to level 9 today to pick up some new skis. They don’t currently have much in the bike department. I think the lowest price tag I saw was still over $2500
