I don't think that would help me load / unload firewood. EDIT: Damn it. I just googled what that was and it basically performs the same function as the telescopic snow rake I keep in the box.... When not clearing snow with it I use it to pull crap from the front of the box all the time....

Enjoy your trip and keep us posted!

Gotcha. Yes, I get that. I was wanting a cap for my truck but for what I use it for it would be a pain. I'm constantly getting into the box to load / unload stuff. Hunching over to walk to the front of the box to grab stuff would suck. As would the constant mocking I'd get from the wife for...

Husqvarna Norden 901:

Why did you hate to do it? I'm pretty happy with mine.

Nice! I just picked up a new motorcycle owned by the KTM brand as well and can't wait for the show to melt too! :p

Never had a chance to ride it. It was their last one for the year. But ergos felt great and the low centre of gravity will be awesome! 1st time I rode it was from the trailer into the garage. And that was on a piece of plywood because the road was solid ice and the back tire kept spinning.

I wish! That would have been nice!

I know! Guessing it's the accessories that are bolted to it that upped the cost. Road trip? Here's a black one: https://www.northsidemotorsports.ca/New-Inventory-2024-Yamaha-Motorcycle-Scooter-Tenere-700-Northside-Motorsports-14972241?ref=list

Probably a month or two until the street sweepers have been out. :( Honestly, not a whole lot planned. I'm going to swap over my luggage from my previous bike, probably add a set of upper crash bars and a Quad Lock set up to mount my phone. Aside from that it pretty much came with everything...

Thank you! They had a Tenere there too. I thought they were cheaper than that! I hope so! Time will tell I guess...

Picked up a new bike over the weekend. Can’t wait for spring here!

Well I went and did it. Picked up the same version your buddy has….

Think I saw Dork in the road or Big Rock Moto do some YouTube videos about their trips there. Can't recall which. But sure made me wish there was more stuff like that closer to me. I've got about 3 hours or so of highway riding to get to anything similar.

No used ones around here. I was going to look at a leftover '23 base Norden but it sold. I sat on a base '24 last weekend and can def feel the lower COG compared to my Strom. I was also able to flat foot it with a little bend in my knee - I'm 6'1" w/ a 34" inseam for reference. (seat was in...

Well that sounds intense! Are you going to do it again this summer? I'm guessing this is not the BDR route? This seems more challenging. I've heard the Idaho BDR is pretty fun too.

Yep, I've been on ADVRider for a year or so. I think I may have even posted in the thread @renottse linked. EDIT: Yep. I did post on that thread. I'm Todd780 on ADVRider. It is a great source. Yes, mostly highway / freeway as I'm hoping to use it for a work commuter as well. But want to be...

Looking at a Norden 901. (basically a KTM 890 Adventure with a different body) Wonder if some of the kinks have been worked out. Such as loose coolant clamps, rear shock etc.... Really like the bike but wondering if I'll regret not having the Suzuki reliability? Any experience here? Think I'll...

I get what you're saying. In that case, the kid lived in camp. And I have no clue if he put money elsewhere. Most oil filed jobs up here are union and include a hell of a pension plan and benefits. He was also like 18 or so. What 18 year old doesn't want to enjoy life a bit? I know when I was...

Tough to say around here. There's lots of oil money here. Back in '03 I was working at a dealership. A 20 year old kid came in and bought a lifted up 1 ton for 80K. His dad had to show him how to write the cheque for it cause the kid had never written a cheque before.... I still remember that...
