Nice is that a 790 Duke? I used to have a 690 supermoto which was basically a gen 2 Duke with +3" suspension travel. That bike was like a supermodel - hard to live with but she had her moments of wild fun.

Found another Magnetic friend at work today. Looks like an XLT with black package.

I putt around on this 250 on nice days. Also use it as my farm runabout. It's better than a 4-wheeler in a lot of ways.

Bonus pic I took in Togo.

It is! And it is amazing fun.

The Duke is my fist bike in a few years, so it's really good to get back to it! A 690 SMC was my last street bike. I loved that thing. It looked like this...

We got the wife a new 2020 Escape AWD. The white one is her old one.

I really like the redesigned Escapes. My favorite will always be the era from 2007ish, but the new escape has some of the Mustang Mach E elements and looks really good!

It is a cool design. I've been told it kind of resembles a Porshe Macan ..

Nice. I had the very first 690 KTM came out with. Funny looking bike with a beak. 2007. Very temperamental. Mine had the R upgrades with marchesini wheels. Leo Vince 1 into 2 system that was obnoxiously loud. This is the pic whore thread so here we go...

Video camera strapped to my exhaust slider.

Nice Beaker, I love my Supermoto. I was out loving it on Sunday,

When it decided it needed to give me a good memory with a front tuck in a bad spot. Just as was about stopped my head caught a fence pole and it sent it sideways enough to let the edge of my helmet make my clavicle the extra cool three piece version. Caught me a ride home in the back of the van and a new plate and some screws, least I'm symmetrical again.

I'm in my 50s now, I gotta quit doing this shit. ( I only wrote that for my wife's benefit )

Hi,

Good! At lease you are aware of the concern, and more importantly have a fix if it poses a problem. Kudos!

I went out and hooked up the trailer today. I went full lock to left and right and then went in circle. Plenty of room. Then I backed up and turned created a near jack knife. The tank cleared no problem, the box cleared by 1/2 an inch but I adjusted it for more breathing room. The first thing that would hit is going to be the tongue. Should be good to go ??

Hi cfhgarza,

Excellent! You checked and tested to show the results mean you can confidently travel...Not hope and pray! Kudos!

Hey I've got a 3 piece plated clavicle too! I've got plates and screws all over the place. I was going 140 on the race track when this happened. Arm was flopping around like a piece of spaghetti. I rolled for a long time. Stayed conscious the whole time and I'm just thinking... wow I'm still rolling. I come to a stop, look at my arm and its pointing the wrong way, and I can't help but think "well, that sucks." I didn't feel any pain because I'm too jacked up on adrenalin and dizzy from rolling.

Well I have a lot of stories but I don't want to take over the pic whore thread so I'll ease off for a week or so.

BTW: some of you supermoto fans, you should see the kart track I have a half hour from my house... look up "Shawano USAIR Supermoto" on youtube. It's the best supermoto track in the United States. Come visit sometime.
