Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

If I wanted another bike from a dealership I'd trade it in, but they don't have anything I currently want. Might look in the Spring at an F900GS, but that'll depend on how much our new daycare bills fuck us up. $1595/mo just started up soooo we'll see about adding a payment on top of that. No one around here carries much in the way of used inventory, either. I'd probably end up in the Seattle area if I wanted to go used dealership route.

 

Yeah daycare is fun to spend money on.

 

That's crazy! But I've heard it from other friends on how much it cost....

 

Honestly it's cheap compared to a lot of places. Childcare is wild right now. In the metro areas of Washington you're paying $2500+. I work for a university and they slightly subsidize the cost for their employees so it's the cheapest in town unless you go to someone who runs an in-home.

 

Ya a few buddies at work are paying about that and it's nuts to me! Like I get it they take care of the kids and feed them but that's so much money!

 

Oh shoot, I forgot I saw another matching K1300 you could pick up cheap the other night! The right color plastics and everything.

Spoiler: K1300 pics

Rode my buddies 2012 Goldwing today.

That was an experience. I've only got major seat time on my 300lb dual sport.

It's certainly not as much "fun" to ride, but still a blast on the highway. Every gear is the right gear with that engine haha.

I don't see myself ever getting one, still want an FJR ideally. Will be looking off season.

 

We spend 370/week for two kids at an in-home so it isn't too bad.

Another 2 years for the daughter to start kindergarten and then our boy has has a 3.5

 

I cheaped out and went the motoscan route. Either way though that or the gs911 are invaluable tools on modern BMWs. You can’t do fuck all without them

 

Agreed. We can't complain too much on it. They are homeschooling their oldest so they get some experience. Although I doubt it's as orderly as a regular daycare. Good peeps though.

But it doesn't give me anymore money for moto. Ha

 

Admittedly an FJR fan boy here. Reliable, reasonably priced, good parts availability, great Internet forums. When you start looking for one feel free to pm me for any questions.

 

I always wanted one, now I think it's just too big and heavy for me. Chose my bonneville for that reason, no regrets.

 

Doing the back half of the adventure ride today. It's about 390 miles and so far only one true trail and ya the bolt isn't for it but we took it carefully through and it made it haha. ATM we are opting out of doing the rest of the route since it's already almost 4pm here and we still have about 7ish hours of gravel and dirt roads to do. So gonna jump on back roads for a 2.5 hour drive to at least get to the camp site

 

Any bike can be an adventure bike if your balls are big enough.......
