#1: They do not pay ND firemen enough to support my habit. #2: I'm afraid you have not seen how many boots I own, since I've recently added a pair of Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex, and Sidi Discovery Rain boots to my collection. #3: I do not need any new Italian boots to match this bike because I already own 7 pairs of Sidi Italian motorcycle boots.
I think the only help you're gonna get is volunteers to ride them if you bring a trailer full like in the past.
Afraid you are SOL on the support group, Just a bunch of enablers here. WE know how to spend your money.
...don't think I've heard any of us poo poo a bike purchase! OTOH there's all those boots.
Well thanks. I purchased the Hypermotard a year ago in September. The post was sort of brought back from the dead, and yes it is a very fun machine but it's not in its element here on the flat planes of ND. This bike would be much more enjoyable in the mountains or canyons but I do have fun riding through the Minnesota lake country.
No problem. northsouth brought the thread back to life from a 13 month dirt nap and there isn't a damn thing wrong with that. I'm sure the new hypermotards are better, but be careful to have both hands on the bars when you first started out. I brought the bike home, unloaded it from the pickup and started it to go the two blocks home from my unloading location. I was adjusting something with my left hand and grabbed a little too much throttle with the right. I thought I had unleashed the devil and I barely got my left hand back on the bars before I'd biffed it just feet from the unloading location. It was definitely a case of one handed whiskey throttle.
