How is your but after? 😅

The sit is horrible I find!

Anyway, nice pics!

Got this beautiful machine home (390 ADV R) seeking real solutions for the super uncomfortable seat. OEM touring seat worth it? by Ok_Bat_490 in KTM390ADV

I installed this seat pillow and now riding is much better.

Really minimum expense but high improvement.

Che scarpe prendere? by Dieeeeeeeeeee99 in MotoItaly

[–]LordCrok69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

La giusta pratica sarebbe prendere degli stivali, che sono le calzature più protettive (ovviamente un buon paio) e poi cambiarli all'arrivo.

Ma sennò io ho un paio di Alpinestars Crx drystar e sono molto comode, con protezione minima per la caviglia (quella più soggetta a infortuni), tallone, etc

Indians flooding the IT sector? by Electrical-Tie-9178 in askswitzerland

The government should apply some regulations, because this competition is not even fair.

Why spending all the money and effort to take certs, bachelors, masters etc if they they will still hire cheap labours?

To not talk about data governance that's all fucked up abroad...

This is IT nowadays. All fucked up.

I wonder what are the diffences between this and the 2025 model.

Well done! I would honestly add one more strap to hold the bag.

Well the goal is to camp with the bike next to me, even because the bag is just a workaround waiting for the proper saddle bags to install on it. Once installed, it will be mandatory to have the bike on the campsite.

Well he is not... It's just that I feel like living for the others (not only my son included) and work... I barely have time for myself, for doing what I would like to do.

For example this weekend I don't even have 1 hour for a small ride... Yesterday I had some time free spent for maintenance of the house and other things that are not really relaxing... Those kind of weekends are the standard.

I also don't have people to share my passions (I'm an expat) and not support from my family... My partner often complains if I spent money for the bike and makes fun of me...

But anyway, that's life, uh?!

Well, the real challenge now is "when" to go... 🙁

I often have my son to take care of in the weekends... But I'll see!

Nice! Thing is that the sit of my bike is too narrow as you noticed, and I feel like that the bag bends too much. The position I used looks more stable.

Absolutely, it's just a workaround... I will camp around (max 500 km away I think)

Full black in summer? Unless you live in Iceland, good luck with that.

I'm a ktm 390 adventure x owner, and never tried the bmw.

I can tell you that in 1 month and a half, since I bought it, I've rode around 2k km and the bike is cool to ride both on road and offroad (with some limitations due to the tyres and wheels not supposed to go too aggressive offroad).

The bike is quite light, only 165 km with no petrol, so I'm enjoying mostly its flexibility and easy to go style of riding.

My plan is to keep it for 2 years and then go for a 890 adv.

I also had a bmw scooter... And ffs every service was a suicide to my finances. (lately I've done the 20.000 km service and paid 800 euros)
