I have no idea what sort of hosed up stuff made him think that was ok. We rode together once and he just got frustrated with my way too frequent 120mi gas stops so we never rode together after that.

No, ffs, enduro riders have been using condom type catheters for a long time now. It's not one you insert. I mean I don't know about your acquaintance, but non-medical catheters are a pretty common thing for sports like distance sea kayaking, hang gliding/parasailing, flying, etc where you can't just stop for a minute and take a leak in the bushes.

I understood these were called "Texas caths" but on reflection that might possibly be a regionalism, in the exact same way a "Texas mickey" is a 3L bottle of booze that comes with its own tilting cradle (A "mickey", of course, being 375ml)

I can’t imagine it being the internal style cath while bouncing around on the saddle of a drat motorcycle.

It's usually too damned close to the driveline, or the rear catwalk that's also over the driveline.

I didn’t know that and now you’ve given me another good reason to fear semi trucks while on the bike It’s bad enough getting hit with garbage water if you wind up behind a garbage truck.....

There was a real brief clip in a Dakar interview a year or two back where the interviewer saw the catheter poking out next to the rider's boot and reached down and flipped it around with his finger and says something like "Your water tube slipped, huh?" and the rider doesn't acknowledge it at all.

I wonder if the interviewer ever realized and later had an 'Oh god. Ohmygod i didn't actually...' moment.

Is there any street bike (other than minibikes like the Grom) with a gas tank smaller than the RC390? They claim 10 L (2.64 gal) which includes a 1.5 L (0.4 gal) reserve (so 8.5 L (2.25 gal) of use before the fuel light comes on) but it takes more like 1.8 gal when the reserve light comes on.

That's so much gas. What do you do with all that extra gas? 2.25 gal of riding before reserve? WR250x had a 2 gallon tank that was part of the reason I sold it. 70 mile range is unforgivable. I think the new kawi sumo has a 2 gal tank, too.

 my wr250r had a whopping 1.9G of fuel. That thing always had the low fuel light on after modding it and dropping it's like 70mpg down towards 50-55mpg.

On the autobahn, my fuel light goes on after just one hour on my SV. Turns out, it'll consume 10L/100km on full throttle. I gotta plan my tank stops when/if i am going for a ride from Amsterdam to Berlin. Might make sense to drop down to 160-170km/h if it means fewer gas stops.

Coydog posted:Does a bigger tank from one of the other 390 platforms fit? negative, the RC390 uses a different frame than the duke / adv, so even if you were to hack up your fairings, there is no guarantee that the tank would even "fit"

The tank is also the ECU holder so there's that as well.

Been meaning to replace the cush rubbers in the Hawk for a long time. 8 months ago it felt like I had a loose chain, but the chain was fine, so it must be the cush. I kept putting it off because I barely ride due to the pandemic and I hate working on bikes. Today it was time to get it done, and I was actually afraid that the cush rubbers would be similar condition to my new replacements, making the job a waste of time. This is what I found upon opening the casing.   Feeling how snug the new rubbers made everything, I cannot wait to take it for a ride.

 I’m astonished that the webbing didn’t break from the sprocket drive slamming back and forth against the hub for what sounds like years. That’s gonna feel like a whole new bike

Lol my Hawk was the exact same. The PO must have cranked down the axle nut like a gorilla so it felt fine on the test ride. After a couple of months with the bike I was coming down out of the Sierra Nevada and it let loose and suddenly there was 40 degrees of slop between the sprocket and the wheel engagement. With help from a very friendly Patriot Guard rider passing the gas station I got the nut cranked down enough again to make the last hundred miles home. When I took it apart a few days later there was no sign of the cush rubbers whatsoever, just that same green powder.
