This is after I peeled off the 30 bullet hole stickers 09 Vstrom. Traded my C50 for it. Cruiser lyfe just wasn't for me. This is the 5th bike I've had since I started riding 1.8 years ago. I gotta keep it for a long time. I dig it so far. It feels similar to the 97 R1100GS I briefly had, without the 50,000 miles and crazy parts costs. Moron story: I ran out of gas on the way to the dealer (about 45 minutes from where I live) to trade (The gas gauge wasn't working like I remembered it working-and it was really windy.) After put-putting it a mile the bike finally conked out in front of a farm/power equipment dealer. I knew they had to have gas, so I went in and begged for a cup of it. Dude gave me the "you are a drat moron running out of gas a mile from the gas station" look but hooked me up.

Preparing for a long road trip. Decided to see if I could pack a whole grocery cart into the bike today and was met with success... if not a few odd glances. Ultra strong! Who needs a big bagger when you've got an 80's tech drag bike?

If you listen closely, you can hear it laughing as it barfs oil all over the inside of the lower fairing.

What's a slip-on (a type of exhaust?) and what kind of bike is that?

Wootcannon posted:What's a slip-on (a type of exhaust?) and what kind of bike is that? It's an sv650. A slip-on exhaust means basically just the muffler, the manifolds/pipes remain stock.

# ? May 7, 2013 21:38 |

Yup. I had to cut off the stock exhaust, and the aftermarket muffler clamps on over the cut pipe and hangs from the same mounting point under the passenger peg as the stock one. 2000 SV650 to be exact.

My pride and joy, a '95 Honda RvF400. She's a bit beat up at the moment after doing 4000km through the Great Dividing Range in late summer/early Autumn and about to go in for new fairings and an engine overhaul.

So jealous. I'm fighting my 800 shitpile right now. New regulator, seat, grab bars, headlight assembly, some various nuts and bolts. Soon to come: all new fairings + fasteners, stock footpegs, rear master cyl, f4i front end, and if I can swing it, maybe some cams and exhaust.

Slavvy posted:So jealous considering my favourite riding road has three wrc-style jumps and several corners with random corrugated seal mid-corner for no reason. We have plenty of those. Ohio roads vary amazingly in their quality, sometimes within even a few miles. I still have to travel a good hour plus to get to the fun roads coming from the very northeast corner of the state. Flikken posted:what roads did you hit, I'm looking for some good riding roads That's route 164 in the photo, which is to the southeast of Canton. The route I'm looking to take next time is 800 to 183 through Waynesburg then 171 to 43 then to 164. When I have more than 1 day off, I'll head towards the southeastern part of the state where the roads get far more twisty and technical.

Southeast Ohio is the only good part of Ohio I've seen cause it's KY and WV's Appalachia runoff. I took these in the Shawnee State Forest, if you ever make it real south. It had a nice mix of paved and gravel roads thru the hills in the woods, mainly logging roads I think. The only problem was I couldn't tell what was gravel and what was asphalt from a map.
