No one gets to pump their own gas except motorcycles in Oregon, so not only do I get to skip ahead of everyone waiting for the attendant, no one gets out of their cars so I don't have to talk to them.

I'm in miserable rainy Oregon, but our temperatures are moderate and we don't use ice, so I ride a couple times a week still, rode in the rain yesterday but also it was above 50.

Yeah, it's 52 in Portland today and I road about 40 miles. It's been pretty mild and every time I think we're going to have a cold spell it only lasts a couple of days.

The US and Canadian ZX-4 is said to only make 56hp due to redline being significantly lower than the Euro spec bike, down from 74hp. Has this been verified? I don't think they have even listed US specs yet that I can find anyway. Not that I am in the market for one, but seems like that defeats the purpose of bringing back a small displacement 4.

I don't know how many people watch Itchy Boots here, but she destroyed her clutch in Liberia, got towed by a bike to Ivory Coast, and then had some local mechanic completely tear down the engine of her CRF Rally, clean it, rebuild the whole clutch assembly and then put it back together, basically in a parking lot where she is staying. They literally were pulling out pieces of the clutch plates that broke off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05NiTpy-tfg

Geekboy posted:That mud she was riding through while utterly destroying that clutch was insane. Trucks stuck for weeks in it and only 2 wheeled vehicles could kind of, sort of get through.

I have some mediocre boots, the rest of my gear is solid. What are some good boots that aren't literal racing boots? I have a real time figuring this out and just give up. By the way, if you like leather these Noru ones are on special for $99, I wear them, really comfortable. The leather is pretty thick and they have knee armor. https://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/pants/cruiser_leather_pants_and_chaps/noru/kuro_leather_pant.html

I watch every episode, the Central Africa trip she is taking to me is just crazy. A lot of these countries literally have no electricity, one had a ship docked off shore generating electricity for the city using a Diesel generator. There are gas shortages, military road blocks, crazy river crossings in small boats, the whole thing is just such a spectical to watch. And somehow when he bike won't start, or she gets stuck in mud, or has no where to sleep some nice person comes along and helps out. i really enjoy her, and also watching this little 300cc engine get through all this makes me want one as well, they seem so expensive though so I stopped looking for now.

I like the R7 a lot more, but I haven't ridden either one. The stacked bug lights on that Suzuki don't look great to me though. Also not a big fan of the way they put 8S(R) on their ptwin variants.

Geekboy posted:2 weeks or so ago there was also that yearly “every dipshit on a dual sport or pit bike riding around like assholes” ride that probably made the numbers look terrible. I can’t remember what it’s called.
