The ride to Pennsylvania with Ken today really put me over my "initial service" mileage on the Vstrom. Well -that, and the other 450 miles I was over. So I broke from Ken back in Frederick to stop at the 'Zuki dealer to get filters and oil to do both the DL and the DRZ, who was also a few miles overdue. After picking up my supplies, and stopping at the auto-parts store to get a waste-oil tub, I went to my super-secret motorbike vault (storage unit) to catch up on my maintenance. I did my usual 3 Card Monte routine to move machines in and out of the unit, changed oils and filters, tighened the chain on the DL, checked bolts, etc. It's a real pain in the ass not having a garage.
:x
After finishing, I moved everyone out to straighten up my tiny storage space, and was pleased to see such a sight...
I hate to see the DRZ go, as it looks nice there with it's mates, contributing to the combined 2050 CCs of happiness. I started them all up at once (call me silly, I know), and was treated to a symphony of combustion that made me genuinely smile.
Anyone else have stable photos to share?

No, but the Duc needs to be ridden. I'll sacrifice myself and take it out for a lap or two!

Any time, sir. Just be sure to bring all of your available cojones - she's a very, very demanding lady, and will test one's cojone-level!DAMNKLRRider wrote:No, but the Duc needs to be ridden. I'll sacrifice myself and take it out for a lap or two!

Erin went for a short ride today, left in sunshine and soon began getting rained on. I had all the bike lined up in the driveway. Thought I get a picture also.
At the moment I'm getting by w/ 6 cylinders and 1775 CCs of happiness.

Erin is already considering a bigger street bike.
I'm all for her (and myself) buying more bikes, but I don't know where we are going to put them.
I need to move somewhere w/ a garage or a ground level room I can easily drive them into.

You still need to try the VStrom. It's also friendly enough for a moto-lady. Lets get all of these machines in one place and have an allyoucaneat buffet day.

As long as we do it far away from a dealership and a bank - I'd end up telling momma "look what I found beside the road!"Teethgrinder wrote:You still need to try the VStrom. It's also friendly enough for a moto-lady. Lets get all of these machines in one place and have an allyoucaneat buffet day.

Yes. I might not come back with your KLR, and you'd be a-hoofin' it to Canada.

Thats not a bad idea for a nice day when there are no other rides.
1. We each set up and lead a "relatively" short road ride.
2. For each other's ride, we have to swap to a different bike.
3. Help each other shuffle our bikes back to respective garages/sheds/storage units at the end of the day.
