Motorcycle Riders?

[JCSR]

Looks like a high of 56* and dry for Tuesday down here. If that doesn't change I'll ride!

Looks like there's a new Stromboli hitting the showrooms in a few months.....800cc V-Strom

I guess they're figuring there's enough demand for a "tweener" midsize model...???

Got out for about 100 miles on the Ninja yesterday. Temps were around 60* and sunny. Roads were clean of salt, sand and junk. Great to be back out there.

my nod goes to the new Husqvarna Norden 901 (*KTM 890 in disguise*) &/or the new Aprilia Tuareg 660.

Both are on my radar.

I've been looking at the Norden 901 since the prototypes came out. WOW. Love that bike.

Someone on FB marketplace has one for sale.

There were a LOT of riders out yesterday, while I was catching fish. More than I could count.

I was thinking of riding, but like I said, I was catching fish.

I dig that bike along with Ducati's Desert X. There's also a rumor that Harley will be introducing a mid sized version of the Pan America at some point this year too. I've been eyeing a mid sized adventure bike for quite a while now. I'll be patient and wait for Harley to make their big reveal. After seeing their offering, I may have to make my next major purchase.

I think the mid-size Pan America may be a couple years away. MotoGuzzi has a nice one that I covet, more tame than the Norden 901 but people rave about the Guzzi ADV bike, mostly as a fantastic touring bike for people who like to run twisty roads, gravel, but not actually going out into raw dessert.

I ride an ADV-lite bike, the Honda NC750x, looks like an ADV bike but doesn't have the suspension to tackle true off road. It is a true 'daily ride' bike that does everything well enough, but nothing in an exciting way. I've ridden trails and it but it is adequate for that, but rough. Runs the highways and byways great, lovely boring bike and I have no intention of trading it away until the world makes something that is an even better daily ride.

I'm a huge fan of anything Honda related that has a motor. When I was a kid, we had Honda dirt bikes that went through absolute hell and never missed a beat. Same for their four wheelers. My old Rincon is down at Dad's with 30K on the clock, and he still works the crap out of it.

Going to edit this to talk about the Harley mid size adventure bikes. Several months ago, someone caught a listing in the parts catalog for a part that would correspond to a new mid sized Pan America. As soon as that information hit the internet, Harley quickly scrubbed that information from the catalog.

Harley just introduced their new 2023 offerings yesterday, and that new Pan America wasn't among them. Harley is famous for throwing a new model or two out mid year, so I'm hopeful that new mid sized adventure bike is one of them this year.

A lifetime ago I was a bartender in Columbus. A smoke show, like the one above, was a business lunch regular. Occasionally she would drift in in the evening with her equally handsome hubby.

When the lady would prance in dressed just like above, I knew they were riding the bike. Hubby wanted her to "slut-up" to be on the back of the bike.

I always ran to the window to watch her get back on the bike. It was hilarious. She would make quite a spectacle out of grabbing the short skirt from front and back between her legs. Then throw her leg over the bike, (to keep the skirt from riding up.)

Doesn't sound like the "CB".

Yeah, I'm not convinced that's the sort of woman dropping her panties for a Harvey Diddleson. Where's her tats?

This might be more accurate:

PS, I recall you posted that meme back in October.

Spend 45+ years on them and you might just see a few. Neither one of my wifes had or has any tattoos nor did either wear or own any Harley Davidson gear or clothing.

Had the 79 FX out the other day, not any vintage imports were seen all afternoon.

That reminds me to pick up a case of 50W, I believe I left a qt on rt9 & 69 from a ride to Huntington, FW and back to Alex.
