That is the ugliest bike to ever hit tar! Seriously!

Which the mutistrada or the 821?

 

821 is awesome may upgrade to the 929.

Dean, what about a dual-sport like a DR650 or KLR650? I would imagine NH has more places to go than NJ where you can get onto some nice fire roads, etc..  Great for commuting too due to its upright nature so you'll sit a little higher than normal. I've had plenty of other bikes. I now have just my DR650 and I love it. Air cooled and very user serviceable. A solid bike.

They style isn't for me, and I'm not into any type of trail riding.  

Thanks

I looked at the Multistrada but I'm not really interested in a chain drive.  I can appreciate what the Multistrada is but not a huge fan of the naked bike look.

Not gonna lie.... the KLR’s only purpose is holding the rainbow flag at every gay pride parade. Soooo don’t do that

I have a 2006 loaded Goldwing with 18,000 mi. 

Like this one? I bought it with 3k miles on it Now I have 70K+ 

The only state I have not been to is N Dakota. In addition I rode to Nova Scotia.

But this is not a sports tourer but a wonderful Touring bike. At times my wife are gone for over a month on the road. Not for everyone

I can appreciate the Goldwing but its not what im looking for.  The St1300 is more my style. The only one I found for sale locally that was reasonable has 77,000 miles on it.   Not acdeal breaker by itself but tge bike was hard to start until it warmed up.   With the fuel injection system it should have been easy.  Common problem wigh the ST1300 but many causes - some simple and others expensive.

So I wound up finding a good deal on a 2006 BMW R1200RT.  The guy delivered it last night about an hour before the snow hit..  I know, pics, but I can't seem to add them to my posts any more.  It makes for a nice garage ornament right next to the snowblower...

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
