Sad day as the my Twins leave for their new adopted home...
KIC replied to KIC's topic in Watering Hole
Yea..the 2nd Gen KLR's started in 2008. They are 45lbs heavier, slower ( really they are), and more street bikish ( is that a word?). I love my 1st Gen...both 1st Gens... -
How easy is it (or is it easy) to pull off the front fairing and dash board ? I'm sure there is a thread, but just getting an idea of where to start.
-
Don't worry....We all know how fast the 1st Gens are, but we rarely have to worry about "re-entry" heat..
-
Facts: The sky is blue (fact) Water is wet (fact) Obama sucks (fact) 1st Gen is better than 2nd Gen. (fact) Need I say more ? Next question ?

This video is of the TW's in the Rincon Mountains. This hill is named "Manhood Mountain" due to the steepness, rockiness and ruts. This was my first ride after my shoulder replacement. I couldn't ride the KLR650 yet, but the TW's were a fun easy ride.....even up Manhood Mountain... Out of 8 riders, only 3 of us rode up this section. ( listen to the audio) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2yRwqgjFE0]Gunsite Pass Santa Rita Mountains Bill TW200.wmv - YouTube[/ame] Luckily I still have my (1st Generation !!) KLR650 to give me some dirt time. -
I had a BMW K1200LT and although I have only had my Venture for a couple of weeks I have already found it to be a better ride. Just make sure you focus on a 1st generation bike so you can ride with the upper class.

The TW200s were a lot of fun for off road camping and fishing. They climbed like little mountain goats. I still have my KLR 650 to use on the dirt and camping trips. In fact I think I worked a deal on selling my YZ250 since I don't think I'm riding anywhere I need two stroke power. -
Gonna be a tough week for riding.... NOT !

Well, my Twins left today for their new adoptive home in Oklahoma. It was a trade off...the Twins or a Venture. Picked the Venture ( and the right choice of a 1st Genner). Still sad to see the girls go. They were a different type of fun. But time to move on to bigger and better things....
-
Well he did buy a 2nd Genner....par for the course....
-
I know this was an accidental misquote. You meant to type " He should buy a trailer to pull his car behind his 1st Genny". Bringing a car would be a good idea so the 2nd Genners can use it to go buy parts for theirs.

Although the local MC parts place I go to couldn't find anything on the Fram PH3950 and even called their supplier looking for conversions, the Pep Boys around the corner had 2 in stock. The original cartridge style at the bike shop were $5.99 each and at Pep Boys the Fram PH3950 were $3.99 each.

Sounds interesting and tempting. At least I know it's not like any 2nd Genners are going to be able to catch me...
-
Zebra....or jail break fantasy.... just sayin'....

Now you did it...you had to go and open that can of worms... He just found out that his snow blower is a 2nd Generation model and can only handle 1/4 inch or less.....
-
What is that white stuff all over the ground ? I guess that is why we keep the cold icey stuff in the freezer where it belongs..well it's a freezing 58 degrees here..guess I'll grab my sunglasses ( that bright cloudless sky is ..well.. bright) :sun:and jump on my bike and run to the bank...
-
Oh...from the thread title I thought he had just figured out he had a 2nd Gen bike.....

Possession is 9/10ths of the law with the other 1/10th depending on the faster motorcycle or biggest gun....

That is great...love the reindeer in the intake...

We now return you to the regularly scheduled jabbering about the 89...
-
Hmmm..you think they are stupid enough to do that ?...

89 Venture - Mileage life span

Would the speedo needing the bearings greased ( it started whinning like a stuck pig) cause the cruise not to work from any type of friction in the speedo ? -
The name on the tank is mispelled... It's VENTURE.... just saying...

Arizona :sun:thought about taking over Texas to make it a better, more livable place, but we couldn't figure out what to do with that pesky lil sliver of desert called New Mexico....
