You’re just jealous because your neighborhood sucks so much worse than mine.
Anyhoo you were right, the Africa Twin is a much better choice than a CBR1000, on the street you’ll rarely get the chance to unleash all the horses the CBR1000 has, especially in the twisties. Straight lines don’t count.
Once while up in Connecticut while on my KLR650, when leaving Marcus Dairy I fell in behind a leather clad color coordinated fast guy on a GSXR1100. (at that time the hottest street bike around). Granted, following some guy down a tight mountain road is MUCH easier than being the guy in front, all ya gotta do is follow his line and especially pay attention to his brake light as he reacts to stuff you can’t see yet. Flogging that KLR I was able to stay with him for about five miles, then the road straightened out and he disappeared into warp speed.
Yeah I'm sure your neighborhood holds great appeal to me and mine.
I highly doubt any rider gives a fugk what the KLR behind them is doing. Ever.
I hope you spent Easter with some normal people. I think you could use the exposure.
Thanks for the kind thought, ran down to the coast to look for spring migrants and stopped in to visit a fellow ‘Fire regular.
As to the KLR issue, you seem not to get it. If your are some knee-dragging guy who just dropped several thousand dollars on the latest high-zoot super bike and a brand-new matching green leather outfit and helmet, you absolutely DO care about that friggin’ KLR headlight shining in your rearview mirrors.
No offense, but in this and other responses here, it seems like you ain’t actually been around motorcycles all that much, not street bikes anyway.
