The RME street moto gang

[Gravy]

Who wants to go for a ride Saturday?

Let's rock and roll.
Meetup at 8 or 9 at Cabela's in Farmington.

I've got a nice route planned up over Trapper's loop.
around Pineview, up Old Snowbasin rd and up Powder Mountain hwy.
Lunch at Carlos and Harleys in Eden
Then down over North Ogden Canyon.

I have got some rental repairs and family photos on saturday, so I am out.. but that sounds like a fun day!

I haven't worked a Saturday in 8 weeks or I'd be down. Sorry Strat.

 

[Gravy]

That's ok guys.
Anyone else down?

 

[Rot Box]

Dang that’s in my neck of the woods wish I had some street friendly tires mounted or I’d be in for sure!

Do you guys put horns on your bikes? The stock horn is worthless on my bike.. and I'd like to make a little more noise when I point out how dumb texting mommies are when they merge over on me.
I can't trust amazon reviews, so I don't know what horn is actually loud.

Let's go adv'ing!
Let's beef up those forks too. I could bottom them out by braking too hard. LoL

There are some really noisy ones called “pipes”. You should get it 😁

On my way home with this little thing in my truck bed. F800GS is pretty much the Honda Civic of adv bikes, right?

More like a BMW 330i.

Thanks for letting me ride it yesterday! Pretty great machine!

After I posted that I realized it was a poor analogy… 330i is probably right, quality is there, great ride feel, power is nothing to write home about but plenty to have a good time.

The KLR650 is probably the civic equivalent

I have been riding this lately. Some bar risers were a big deal, make it more comfortable to ride off rode while standing. We did 240 miles on Friday. 30 of it was an absolute riot. Smooth double track with no ruts and some water diversion mounds every hundred yards or so that you could hit at 40-50 mph and really launch.



We also hit this trail which was not fun on the GS1200. She is just too portly. There were two Tenres, my favorite, the KTM 890 Adventure R and the GS. Last week we had two other GS1200s with us. We are looking at a loop near Alpine, a loop from Moab through all the high passes in SW Colorado an the BDR in the next month or so. The Black Tenre hit a rock and messed up the kick starter safety switch. We ended up cutting the wire and twisting them together to make it run again.

This bike has my attention right now.

And I just sold a dirtbike that would cover the cost 🤔

I don't think you have enough facial hair to drive that.

This will be here next week I hope. These are no different than a jeep, it takes a pile of parts to make them your own.

Utah BDR anyone? A SW Colorado loop?
