Which goons are these? I always hear about this hivemind poo poo but I only like one of those bikes and that's probably because I've never ridden it and I'm just taking z3n's word.

My only objection to this list is that you should replace KLR with DRZ-sm, and add the new 300cc bikes that came out recently.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Babbyduke is a legit great bike. Super fun.

And yeah gently caress klrs drz lyfe. Also that list should include the 690 SMC for bad enough dudes to buy great bikes and sell them a year later because loving hell you need to keep your license around.

Also all future hive mind approved bikes must have abs.

Found my intermittent no start issue. Factory solder joint on the battery terminal took a poo poo. Good thing I sprung for the kickstart, because it stayed broken for almost two weeks :v:

675 is the goon's curse. Every 675 to bless this subforum has either been crashed, stolen or had a motor blow. A+, would recommend anyway.

Yeah I've wrecked 2 of them, 3rd times a charm.

I'd rather blow a motor than crash again, both times I wrecked the daytonas it was amazing I wasn't seriously injured or killed.

People at work get worried and ask if I want to move it to somewhere covered every other time it rains.

I should probably wash it this season.

Yeah, uh, my bikes are parked in the house.

I don't have a garage that has room, so into the basement they go. It's perfect, because they're safe, dry, and I don't have to worry about rust or critters getting into them.

Except this.

Replaced coolant container, the PO broke the old one somehow. I didn't flush the coolant, but I need to do that soon because it was really dirty.

Installed aux led spot lights and led light bar, hand grips, USB/12v cigarette lighter for phone/gopro/GPS.

The spot lights are for the side of the road to see animals, and the light bar for forward obviously. I may remove it though because it+the headlight don't seem to make a difference either way.

Cut off the dented part of the extra Yoshimura exhaust I had to make a shorty. Started with a cut made to extract the muffler tip.



Finished product, minus the new tag that I have to order cause the old one was glued on as well as riveted.
