Road tripping

[limeex2]

Got 2 tanks of gas, 1 checkbook, 2 recently repaired body parts, 2 ham sandwiches and a great friend. We are on a mission.

12 hrs, 2 sandwiches 525 miles later this is in my garage. 2015 Kawasaki Versys. 4k miles, 1-1/2 chicken strips with round tires, grease still on chain. Hot grips n a trunk. 1/2 price of new. 2 elective surgeries are healing up. Gonna be a long winter.

I don't know how you guys all get your bikes to stick to the wall like that, any time I try it, my bike slides down.

Somebody traded that in on a Harley?
Knees or hips?

Knees & Weight. Time for a change. The Gl1800 is getting to heavy and I'm getting older. This is 350 lbs lighter. My long arms and legs dont fit it properly. Its a awesome bike. When I worked at the dealership I always wanted to go out west on a wing. 5500 miles and lots of memories later, goal met. Its going up for sale. Ive owned 3 900 Triumph Sprints for almost 20 years. Still my everyday driver. Knees are fine racking up miles, on this one. Hate to get rid of it. its like a old pair of jeans you just cant rid of cause there just perfect.Tired of strapping stuff on it everyday though. Ill be selling this one and a spare parts bike. This bike should be versatile, practical, curve and distance loving. Wanted another Tiger 1050, but those are really holding there value. I feel $ per bike you get on this is strong.

Sorry about the sideways pic post.

Looks like the wrong color for a Kawi. I thought they had to be green. Anyway, congrats on the new ride. Bring it to Brown County next June?

I'd like to bring a GS to a GS rally, but probably yes.

Is it the 1000?

Is it the 1000?

Yes. Better picture, but its not sideways.

The Torque/HP are very close to my 06 Sprint. There are so many models of nice used bikes out there. I just love going out and buying a nice used bike.

I looked at another Tiger 1050 or Sprint GT but the Ergo #'s on this are tough to beat and this one only had 4,000 miles on it. Its got a butt ugly muffler though. Looks as though there are quiet, nice looking muffler options, but this one doesnt need to be noisy. It would hurt my "DB" credit. DB credits are like carbon credits. 1 quiet bike offsets 1 loud bike (that I own). Yes, there are lots of bikes to pick from of all types, many good buys in the fall.
