Once before heading out to run some errands, a buddy stopped by with a giant joint. Naturally, it would be rude to not partake. So 10 min later I was baked as hell and left to run my errands. It was a beautiful day so I took my old BMW motorcycle... As I was riding down a road here in town- it’s 3 lanes, but the…

Oh it’s already been here.....

Sick.... I’d love to have taco.... epic bikes.

Or the old-skool alternative:

And not to mention the Hyperstrada has a what? One gallon tank??? So close and yet......

As someone once said to me, “not only is simple good, simple is best.” Shame this bike (that apparently packs a lot of epicness in it) couldn’t just pare it down a bit (in weight, power and definitely price) to make it a bit more dirt-worthy.....

How many blowjobs did Lorenzo give you for all that bullshit you guys pulled last season?

Sweet!

I seem to recall it was put on there as more of a psychological aid for the driver to aid in turning....

“I end up 473 pages in to an ADVRider thread and never figure out what those guys are talking about”

Two things:

Holy shit, I want to go party with those guys!

Nice bike, but egads! There’s no excuse for that exhaust..

Oh, reliability-wise, you’d be surprised... no computers, basic carbs, nothing fancy. And the ducati 900 2-valves are about as tried and true/robust as moto engines come....

“Big numbers”.. so true. I think it’s obvious why adv bikes are popular- it’s a do-everything bike with an emphasis on being able to explore off the beaten track. But the issue everyone seems to have- much like cars/trucks these days-is bloat.

I grew up in rural NC... Zero car culture around there.... I remember when I was 8 or 9, I was at a neighbor’s garage sale- He had a stack of old Car & Driver, and other assorted moto magazines. I’d never heard or seen any of these mags at the time. I bought the stack for a dollar.

Hahaha... crusier bike fail!

How’d it sound??

Haha.. sorry to ruin it

Cast or mag wheels don’t work offroad- there’s no give- so hit a bump, crack your wheel. Wire wheels have some give to soak up sharp hits.
