- So...What do you do when a stranger come up next to you at a stoplight?
Had this happen twice today coming home from work. Had a KTM Adventure stop beside me. Just gave him a nod and waited for the light to turn. Are we supposed to try and chat? I wouldn't hear F-all anyway, so whats the point? So what do you do?
- Love it, or hate it. A windshield can make all the difference.
I rode most of my life without a windshield, but when I bought my Indian it had a windshield on it that I swore I would tear off the second I got home.
But then I realized that after an hour plus ride my eyes had not watered once, my ears weren't having ghost ringing, and my arms were just not tired....
When I picked up this bobber I knew I would want a windshield. I have been riding it for a month or two without a shield now, and I have to wear earplugs so that the wind noise doesn't make my tiniitus go nuts. Today was the first real ride with the screen on. And holy cow. I love this bike even more now.
Details: It is a madstad 20inch touring screen made for a triumph speedmaster. I modified it to fit the bobber by drilling some new holes, but otherwise I used the hardware and fasteners that came in the kit.
I can post some pics of the fitment if there is interest.
- I'm not usually one for photo shoots
But how could I resist? I took the bobber out for a little off-roading down a goat trail that runs by the swamp/lake near our place, and the scenery was so fitting that I hopped off and snapped some pics.
- Post your bike(s) thread!
Hey all, I figured to get things rolling I'd start up a thread for everyone to show off their rides.
Pictured is my 2 month old '23 Aprilia Tuono 660 which just crossed 3000 kms this weekend (what can I say, I like riding a LOT.) Previously I was on a '22 KTM 390 Duke which is now my wife's bike.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's rides!
