Yetti's 2009 V strom 650

[Pacific Northwest yetti]

Must be spring, with motorcycle parts on my mind. I am also thankful for the enclosed trailer; I use as my garage/shop.

The boots so far, are comfy. And I was very surprised at how different it feels to ride with them, I am not quite sure how to explain it. Maybe a little confidence inspiring?

Shifting does take getting used to, as you have to be more precise. With the larger toe box. Versus the boots I used to ride in.



Also ordered a new helmet, We will see how it fits.
I with went the Advant, versus the Advant x. A slightly older model. But the specs were al very close, I also liked the color scheme of this one better. The %50 savings did not hurt.

Initial wearing ad functionality. I like it a lot, good fit, striking color scheme.

The chin bar flips all the way back. And it was tested and passed crash testing with the chin bar in both locations. I installed the pinlock, we will see how it does at night.

The Cardo KTM Edge, is an impressive unit. So far, works well. Including voice commands, “ play music” “answer phone” etc, The app is a little buggy, but I believe once its set up. You can just ignore the app, and use it to update, or for the intercom/MESH programing.

I did a 6 hour (300 mile) ride last Friday, The Cardo and LS2 worked great and is breaking in well. I am a little embarrassed to say that ride kind of kicked my butt. Was a good ride though,
