And whether she likes having her tummy tickled or dislikes the fat-bastid that straddles her because she spends more time on her back than her wheels as far as I can tell Expand you mean why she is standing here with studded snow tires? Sandra Bullock's boy-toy had a little tv show and this bike was built to ride the ice road in Canada, from Inuvik to Tuktoyatuk. After doing that, (and raising hell on ADVRIDER) he sold tried selling the bike. I eventually got it from the BMW dealer in St Louis, Missouri. It had 2,400 miles on it then, 115,000 on it now. It is now referred to as the Uber bike by all the friends who come west to ride. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 teenage daughters, looking for someone to persuade them...N0 1 has kinda lost interest and is off to uni this year, N0's 2a and 2b being twins, haven't done so much pillion as N01 did cos once they were to big to fit in the panniers, they just fought about who's turn it was so I kinda gave up... I am slowly weaning Madame back onto the passenger seat now that the girls are big enough to not kill each other if we leave them alone for an afternoon. I was impressed to see the number of girls riding the other day when we went out though, it looks like the next generation will have more female riders. Expand Sounds like the twins are ripe for persuasion, can there be any better sign than fighting over the next chance to go for a ride? Of course if you were here in Asia you'd just line up the whole family on your Honda Dream and off you'd go, probably with a couple of chickens to boot. I am always available to be a bad influence, however may be considered geographically undesirable at the present time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I do like Multistradas, a friend of mine has one with a stopped odometer after going past 100.000km, he bought it with 70, had an issue with the electronic suspension sorted under warranty but been happy with it all.

DesmoDog Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Here's the first pic of the V85 after I rode it home from the dealer. The bike was then rolled into the garage, the bags removed, and they've been stuffed on a shelf ever since. Sorry about the crap photo. I'm no photographer and the bike hasn't been anywhere especially noteworthy yet. Next summer I tell ya, just wait and see! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesmoDog Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I've read 505lbs wet, but I've not put mine on a scale. When I'm moving it around in the garage it feels a lot heavier than my Monster 1200S was, but it's a lot taller too so that has something to do with the feel I suppose. When riding it doesn't feel heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
