    2014 BMW R1200R with 64k km. So far, a perfect travel bike for multiday trips. Had it for the last four years and rolled 40000 very high quality and fun km on it.
    Wearing a new Schuberth C5 helmet. Excellent fit for my oval head and, most importantly for me, a VERY QUIET helmet. This on an unfaired bike. Much quieter than my previous ARAI Signet.

    The journey is the objective.

      @louisbosco man I can relate to this discussion. Having owned GS’s, GS Adventure’s, a KTM Super Duke 1290 (so good) I have always sought a do-it-all bike and found it in a Adv style bike.
      Just when I thought I’d considered them all, I saw this bike the other day and it stopped me in my tracks. Compact, unique and a livery that just is so awesome to me. I think it’s a love it or hate it. I’m swooning.

      I don’t know ANYTHING about Moto Guzzi, but I know it’s following is very loyal, almost cultish. Definitely has me intrigued.

      I've just bought one of these (the v85 Travel, 2023 model) and can honestly say it's the duck's guts. Does a bit of everything. Good on tar, on dirt, with the panniers off it's nimble enough to commute on. Cannot speak highly enough of it (though I am a rusted on Guzzista so best taken with a grain of salt).

        Plenty more where that came from. Need to get some Ironhead shots with the iron hearts too!

            The doodle requires a backstory: I named our cat JibJib but his nickname is Hambone, because he spends a lot of time in this position, and he’s a fat sumbish so he looks like a ham. I named the bike after this for some reason and drew his likeness on the tank for shits and gigs

                          @Crease I wish we could license our WR’s for road use here in Canada. I have the 250 as well and it’s a great bike, but it is licensed for off road use only.

                            @goosehd Dang that's a bummer! Yeah here I think you can license any motorcycle that has a headlight, brake light and mirror. Not even sure you need turn signals!
                            This is a WR250R though so it came with all that from the factory, I just upgraded a lot of it.

                                Swapped the bars out again and installed some extended fork tubes for more gnar. This thing is super comfortable now.

                                    Probably should have washed it…😆

                                        @injunjack They're 4" over from TC Bros. Strange thing is, they're the same height (axle to fork cap) as the 6" over tubes we put on my buddies....BUT, they're 2" shorter than the 6" over 35mm tubes I put on my Ironhead....so. I'm thinking my buddy ordered wrong. lol

                                          random question for those in the uk: how does MOT work with motorcycles?

                                          mainly do they check exhausts? I'm wondering if many aftermarket exhausts are legally approve and if inspection is yearly, for those running non legal aftermarket, do people swap them out just for the inspection?
