The tube is good for 3" (76mm) to 100mm width. It should be okay for your 80mm tire. Not tight at all. Whether to run a nut at all is a religious question. Most people use the nut to stop the tube from rotating and to stop the rim from shearing off the valve stem. However, the renegades will...

UVIP?

Yep, also skin pigmentation. In the western world, untanned skin used to be a sign of wealth and prosperity, being able to stay inside eating cake and drinking tea. Tanned skin meant you worked manual labour in the fields under the hot sun every day. Fast forward to today, where pasty light...

Another factor is how rare of a bike you are selling. Someone advertising a Ducati Sport Classic for sale will not need to change a worn rear. That bike will sell itself in a heartbeat. A Z400, on the other hand, might need every competitive advantage to stand out in a sea of ads. Not just...

On the 1290 the loose hose clamp from the water pump is behind the right fairing: https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/2022-ktm-1290-sar-leaking-coolant.1579517/

On the 890/901 there's a hose clamp.at the front of the bike that sometimes isn't tightened at the factory or at PDI which results in a coolant leak. The clamp and pipe is just behind the skid plate at the front of the bike. Not sure if the 1290 has the same problem, but something you might...

Comfort is so subjective. The only person who will be able to tell if a particular bike is comfortable or not is your dad. Is there a Monster 1200 for sale in your dad's country that he can sit on? Even a current MY Monster might have the same ergos if he walks into a dealer and asks to sit on...

My wife got a Cat Delete for her 901/890 and it made quite a difference in the heat coming off the mid-pipe.

Spinelli with the horseshoes up his butt!!!

Yes, big miles indeed. Currently got 10K on them and they're roughly 40-50% tread left. I do 30% gravel / 70% pavement. This is on a 550lb bike + I have a bad habit of spinning the rear a lot in the dirt. Figure they'll go at least 15K kms. Compare that to my last set - Anakee Wilds - the...

I've got Dunlop Trailmax Missions on my big GS 75/25ish. Great for gravel travel. Excellent on pavement. Terrible in mud.

❓❓❓ I think the ride is aimed at BMWs, not Harleys...?

Yeah, I saw that, came up on my feed as well. Kinda steep at $5595! And they don't even provide the bike!!! I live in the area, I do all the same trails - pretty much every ride I do. But for free... :devilish::devilish::devilish: Definitely geared more for the F-n ballers out there!

One of the commentators had a line that had me rolling around on the floor yesterday: "Bagnaia is P-Nowhere." Dying. :LOL:😅😂🤣

That right there is the real benefit to owning multiple bikes. When you get Two-Wheeled Fever in a bad way, you realize motorcycling is not just track, or sumo, or dirt, or street, or touring, or trials, or etc. etc. etc. and it is *so* much nicer having specialized machinery for whatever...

Powerlines = Dirt Playground Rode up to Noble Canyon where there's a bunch of hill climbs and rutted corners to practice on Also, some great trails in the area too! Kickin' up some dirt! Couple of beauties in the wild Awesome weather! Great fun! Can't believe it's only April!!!

Guy pulls up to me in a car/bus/scooter/bicycle and asks, "Wanna trade?" I have Never. Ever. Heard that one before. Like... Ever.

Damn. :oops: I'm just over 4K kms for 2024 as of today. Half of that done since last week of March! Edit: oh yeah plus another 2K km in Oz in February. So 6K for 2024! I don't feel so bad anymore...

Nope, its Okanagan Lake. Levels pretty normal for this time of year.
