I wouldn't be surprised if the US auto industry doesn't someday lobby the government to ban motorcycles on public roads under the guise of "safety" (reality: for furthering their market dominance). :blobfoxannoyed: #motorcycle
Fellow #MotoGuzzi#motorcycle owners will probably disown me (🤣) but I downsized and traded in my 2015 Guzzi. Opted for a smaller, lighter ride and huge boost in MPG with a 2024 #Triumph Speed 400.
Was considering a #RoyalEnfield Hunter 350 but for the extra $1,000, I think you get a lot more in the Speed 400. I will miss the unique, analog character of the Guzzi for sure, however.
Meine Motorrad-Saison begann am 15. März, die Passnkacker-Saison begann bereits am 1. März. Das aktuelle Poster hatte ich bereits vor der ersten Fahrt mehrfach ausgedruckt, laminiert und im Seitenkoffer verstaut. (Mehrfach aus dem einfachen Grund, da ich auf Mehrtagestouren dazu neige, gerne mal ein Poster zu verlieren.)
Die ersten beiden Fahrten dieser Saison sind gut gelaufen, auf knapp 200 Kilometern habe ich mich bereits »eingeschwungen«. Nun stand die erste längere Tour an, und die konnte ich ja auch gleich mit den ersten Passknacker-Punkten der Saison verbinden.
Broke a lace in my #motorcycle riding boots during the week and had to tie them up within the criss-cross lacing while I waited for some aramid laces to replace it to arrive. Reminds me of doing the same to a number of #cycling shoes I've had over the years! #bicycle
Got the K&N air filter in even though we couldn’t for the life of us get the Corbin saddle off. It took a ton of work, but we managed to get the tank off without also taking off the saddle. :blobfoxgoogly: #motorcycle
When we had the air box off, I got some delight from watching the butterfly valves open when I twisted the throttle. Cable throttle! :blobfoxgooglymlem: #motorcycle
