My ride these days.

Don't have a Suby these days, but this has kept me happy for the last few years. She's much happier on the tarmac, but she can get a little dirty and haul some crap. 06' KTM 950SM. I also get to steal the wife's Yamaha XT225 to run errands or go play in the dirt.

Looks like fun.. My buddy just showed up on his new Street Triple R in matte gunmetal and orange with the gold brakes and crazy shocks and such. Man... I have not wanted to get back on a moto so bad in a long time. I really need to sell my gear to keep me safe. Do people sell jackets? I have my Dainese jacket/trousers and my wife's Alpinestars jacket to get rid of. Also have a nearly new NODRAG pack but I think my friend wants it.

That KTM looks pretty sweet. What a useful machine!

What's a NODRAG pack? Hardcase Backpack?

Here's a crappy picture of my bike that I haven't been able to ride since I bought it

No not a hardcase - a friend has one of those with the funny name - boblebee or something and it is flat out stupid. The OGIO No-Drag is a moto specific bag that is actually really cool, but I will let this guy explain it to ya since he seems really stoked about it:



It's a good moto bag, and I thought it would be a nice idea for travelling too since it only opens on the back side and you basically cannot get into it without taking it off. I honestly felt more stable at-speed with the pack on than off as well.

Note: my size 46 shoes absolutely do not fit in the shoe holders. Other than that it's fab, less than the Alpinestars pack and IMHO much much better and far easier to take off/put on which is a serious factor once you are all geared up. I have ridden home with my laptop, extra crap and 5qts of Redline in my pack - hard to fit it all in, but it did fine with that load. Made the ride odd.
