Ugh, the Natchez Trace is in my backyard (2 lanes, no stop signs, right of way the entire 444 mile stretch, no commercial traffic allowed, lots of twisties down to Leiper's Fork, big rear end bridge with an awesome view) but it's too dark to take a picture and I work tomorrow. Someone is going to get this before me.

 The reason this road is so fun is that its a two rut road in the middle of a city. A tiny offroad haven in the concrete.  YOUR BIKE DOING SOMETHING NON-STEREOTYPICAL FOR ITS GENREExample of what I mean: A sportbike offroad, a Harley cornering really hard, a dual sport at a track day, etc. Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 19:21 on May 16, 2012 |

If yours is a MK2 600, does the gauge show empty or one tick before going to reserve? I had to switch mine to reserve the other day, but the gauge still showed that the tank wasn't empty. (1 of 6)

Lord_ExDeath posted:SV650S off-roading possibly coming tomorrow if nobody posts something by then. I willnae get back to my bikes before late tomorrow night, but I was reckoning on get a photo of one of them off-roading. The DRZ would be right at home, but the CB400 is a dinky naked standard, and the closest the XR125L normally comes to the dirt is when I get blasted by a lorry passing through a puddle. It does look like an off-roader though, so I guess it's CB400 offroad time.

Guy I've talked to a few times picked up a nice 2007 SV650S three weeks ago and has been riding when able. He even picked up a high vis jacket. We almost match.

There were balance issues. That picture wound up costing me $10, too. I "borrowed" a bungee cord off of a co-worker's truck, which snapped. I replaced it with a roll of velcro strapping material because I felt bad for touching his poo poo without asking. So... Keep your poo poo nice. Change your oil. Oil your chain. Adjust that fucker! I know I'm going to be doing that over the weekend. Show me you are too, with pictures.

Crap I just did this last weekend. I suppose I could do it on the CRF again, I rode it around the block so it pry needs more oil. Does building it count? Feels like cheating otherwise I would take a picture of the track bike with it's new unmounted tires, oil pan and general mess of poo poo.
