Nice bikes Sako man and Texascbr! My 2006 MV F4 1000s and Paul Smart LE were in for regular service a few weeks back Which created a hole in the line up. I was detailing some wheels on one of the cars and noticed this view. These three bikes span 44 years. 1975 to 2019.

I love riding my Monster and having people tell me there’s something wrong with my bike. Had a guy tell me once I needed to put oil in it before I lock the engine up*IF* you can stand the clutch rattle.
The dry clutch is music!I love riding my Monster and having people tell me there’s something wrong with my bike. Had a guy tell me once I needed to put oil in it before I lock the engine up
Is the Duck an 851? or SuperSport? Very nice collection, that BMW is a beauty. I think very few people realize the performance of the new V4 motor, you would need over $150,000 bucks to get equivalent performance in a car. I notice a nice 911 in your line up as well, I really regret selling my 2007 GT3, it was a dumb move.
I used to rebuild two valve Monsters, and went through about seven of them, when things when to the Testastretta it got too complex for me.
As well I had several 748, 749s, lem'e see if I can dig up some pics.

For you off road touring guys, what GPS are you running? And what would you do differently?
Did a refresh on my supermoto over the winter, new plastics, graphics and an S3 high compression head to compliment the Coober ECU.
I can say that without a doubt this is the most fun motorcycle that I've ever had. It's an absolute ripper, the tighter the road the better.

Are GasGas rebranded KTMs tuned by GasGas?
Ktm bought GasGas. It’s 100% Ktm with a few tweaks to push the price down. So forged triple clamp instead of billet, no hour meter/odometer, no map switch or traction control, and different plastic. Everything is interchangeable though as far as chassis forks etc. They say it’s intended for the racers since they’re going to put all their own shit on it anyways. This is a 2022 model so it matches exactly the same motor spec as a 2022 KTM XCF. From here on out though, the gas gas will lag behind one generation. 2023 will bring a major update to Ktm and Husqvarna four strokes. I’ve had Ktm 300s for the last decade or so. I’d have been happy with Ktm or husky too, I just think the gas gas looks cool.Are GasGas rebranded KTMs tuned by GasGas?

The husky does, not sure about ktm, gasgas no. I think it works from the vids i watched, but no personal experience.They have traction control now? How's that for riding?
Edit: Been out of the game since 2018 when I sold my 2015 300 XCW.

Springers are one of the sexiest bikes ever made. She’s a beauty!!!I've only been back on 2 wheels for a little over a year--rode a lot in my 20s, got married, had a kid and sold the bike. 25 years later, no wife, no kid and I'm back to living my life the way it's meant to be.
2004 Springer Softail. Not the fastest. Not the biggest. Not the most comfortable. But it IS the exact bike I always wanted and it suits my riding style--cruising country roads and day trips--to perfection, and every time I ride (pretty much daily) all I do is smile.

I traded my springer, technically a Cross Bones, for a Road Glide.I've been looking for a big bagger for awhile now--I love my Springer, but she's just not the right bike for multi-state, 600+ miles/day trips.
I'm keeping my Springer, but I just added a 2007 Road King to the stable. At slow speeds, she's a big heavy pig, but at freeway speeds she's a Cadillac--smooth ride, lots of throttle response, comfy. (I took off the trunk and windshield for daily rides, but they're quick detach and only take a minute to reinstall)
Before you young bucks start cracking about it being an old man's bike.....I AM an old man, and y'all can suck it! View attachment 7885841
That looks like a great ride. I would have loved to have done it but my work schedule wouldn't allow this time. Hope you heal up quickly! There is a lot of beautiful riding in Central Oregon.Went off roading this last weekend in North Central Oregon from Crane Hot Springs at the Giant Loop event. 722 miles in four days, including one hellacious dump of my bike. Bruises, broken ribs, fun time had by all.

I bought the Ogio Dakar hydration pack for riding off road. Holds 3L of your favorite beverage.What are you guys doing to keep cool, here in middle MO temps and humidity have been tickling 100 for about a week or so now, with no end in sight.
I have started to strap an ice pack (like for a sprained ankle) to my chest for my hour ride home from work.
In another lifetime I raced sports cars and had a cool suit, basically a T-shirt with a tube sewn into it, with a cooler and a pump that pushed ice water across your body, amazing how much difference it made, and how much fresher you are at the end of the race. Started the process of trying to figure a way to do that on the bike, but my old shirt the rubber tubes have really gone down hill in 20 years.
In my research they do make something that holds 3L of ice water that is on basically a back pack, and is the same thing. Ordered it last night, we will see how it does.
The older I get (down hill side of 50's) the less heat I seem to be able to take.
