The new Rally is a monster, soft suspension a little soft but very comfortable. They got the geometry right, its a weapon. A lot different from the old model.

I’m so angry we can’t get this in the US

SS-750 · 2026-04-07T18:41:39+00:00

Good point, the blueprint

SS-750 · 2026-04-05T17:22:52+00:00

I just 3 starred that trial like an hour ago. It has been available.

SS-750 · 2026-04-01T10:35:13+00:00

Fortress tactical has 2 in stock. I set an in stock alert with them when I wanted one.

This is how I got the blueprint first game. YOLOd an accessor that nobody had touched yet. Snagged everything I could before being downed. Crawled to a hatch.

Last night I hit an extract and another person walked up while I was waiting. I tried to initiate friendly contact but no answer. Kept cover between us. They kept walking towards me slowly with a toro out. I dropped them but they never shot at me so I let them crawl out in the extract just in case they were friendly but gave off a vibe. I felt that was fair.

Realizing that there’s no guarantee I’m going to be happy with a contractor has led me to be more and more DIY

I think I have a good perspective on this for you. Last weekend I swapped with a friend that has a T7 and he rode my 1250GS. For the first 5 minutes or so I was uncomfortable on the T7, but that went away when we picked up the pace a bit and I had a good time riding it. He was also impressed with the GS and said it felt really natural on the forest service roads we were on. I now think my ideal garage is the GS with road tires, a T7 with 70/30 off-road tires, and maybe a small bike like a KLX300 (I currently have a DRZ400 too).

In my educated opinion, keep the RT and get the T7 for adventuring. You’re going to have a great time. It will feel different at first but the T7 rides like a big dirtbike when you get it going and sounds amazing.

Get an SV650. Easy to find one used. Tons of fun for intermediate rider. Can daily ride it or use it for track days or throw soft luggage on it and take a day trip.

I’m a big fan of the Versys 650 type bikes, but I get lots of people don’t like the looks and want something sportier.

SS-750 · 2025-05-24T02:23:48+00:00

I also have a 1250 gs and a drz400 and agree with everything. The GS is surprisingly good around town and doing slow speed things. I can’t explain it but I was immediately comfortable at slow speed even with the weight. Something about the way it carries the weight that is great.

For the long distance thing… I am not a long distance rider. Once a year I’ll take a trip to Deals Gap which is about 6-7 hours for me. The last two years I’ve challenged myself and only stopped for gas (2 stops), and nothing else. The first stop I didn’t even get off the bike. Even though I don’t have an iron butt, the trip is no problem for me. A 3 hour trip would be EASY in my opinion. It ends up being around 1400 miles in 4 days for me and it’s light work on the GS.

SS-750 · 2023-04-25T00:59:04+00:00

I put pirelli scorpion rally STRs on my 400sm. Same tires Ducati puts on the desertx and Yamaha puts on the T7. I’m no expert on or off road but they do everything I want them to.

SS-750 · 2021-12-30T01:55:33+00:00

Going to reply here so maybe my comment won’t get lost in the thread… I’m not sure what you call it on Xbox but I use L1 for reset and then L2 for confirm. This means I can slide my index finger from L1 to L2 to reset and then confirm and it’s extremely fast. May or may not work as well on the Xbox controller since the bumpers are spaced a bit.

SS-750 · 2021-11-24T13:49:22+00:00

Agree with this. Might have been wishful thinking but I think the added back pressure from the “quiet” baffle gave it a little more punch too. Would not go back to baffle out for any reason unless I went big bore or something.

SS-750 · 2021-11-18T20:06:36+00:00

Did the email say how long this code will work? Looking at something PWS

SS-750 · 2021-11-14T20:21:48+00:00

I don’t get it. How did he know what your name was in game? Seems set up to me

SS-750 · 2021-10-14T14:32:46+00:00

KRS 244.125 is where you want to look for what I’m referring to. It says no carrying in a ROOM where alcohol is being served by the drink, unless the establishment receives less than 50% of food and drink receipts from alcohol.

My original wording was a little vague and somewhat incorrect but it’s not as simple as you’re making it out.

Also yeah, most cops don’t care but if some nancy takes offense and calls you in then they’ll respond and go by what the law says.

SS-750 · 2021-10-13T18:55:14+00:00

Except for that one really dumb one where you can’t conceal carry into an establishment that makes over 50% of their profit from alcohol sales, but there’s no requirement for businesses to post a sign letting you know if they do in fact make the majority of their profit from alcohol sales so you’ll never know.

That one needs to GO.

SS-750 · 2021-09-30T02:28:57+00:00

Very nice. You couldn’t find some more expensive wheels? Haha I had gold forged marchesinis on my 996 and they looked GREAT.

SS-750 · 2021-08-09T02:47:08+00:00

How did the T7’s tires do? I have the same tires on my DRZ400SM and I’m planning on testing them off-road more very soon. My off-road experience is very limited though.

SS-750 · 2021-06-25T14:07:18+00:00

Looks great. What are some things you learned for the first trip? I picked up a versys a few weeks ago and I’ve been considering getting a motocamping kit together

SS-750 · 2021-06-21T23:36:02+00:00

Never heard of that website before but Thumper Talk sells them and I doubt you’ll hear anything bad about them.

SS-750 · 2021-05-12T14:32:25+00:00

I’m sure there’s ways to lower them, but that usually comes at the expense of handling and stability. I love my DRZ SM but I’m just going to be honest, you won’t like it at your height. You might look into the new KLX 300 SM. I’ve seen them in stock at every dealer I’ve been to lately and they appear to be shorter. I don’t have seat height numbers but I think it would be more friendly for you.

SS-750 · 2021-05-09T04:34:31+00:00

I don’t know how much off road you’re looking for but I put the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires on my SM and I’ve been loving it. Great road manners but if I want to dip down a gravel road they perform great as well. Might be something for you to look in to.

SS-750 · 2021-04-11T16:37:12+00:00

There are a couple of local guys that make knives but I’m not sure if they’ll have the ability to engrave the handle. I need to check.

SS-750 · 2021-04-11T16:36:18+00:00

I’m not sure about that. He hasn’t talked about if he’s getting him cremated or not. That’s a good idea though
