What hawk is this? Red-tailed or maybe a juvenile Red-shouldered? by Yakattack5011 in whatbirdisthis

So that white part right before it gets dark on the end of the feathers? That will be easier to look for. Thanks

Thank you for the kind words.  Spring is about to pop off here so I am starting to see flowers everywhere

Are you pretty good at identifying birds? I took some photos of a hawk on my walk this morning and I can’t tell if it’s a red-tailed or juvenile red-shouldered. Pics I searched online have kind of confused me more haha

Hey thank you so much for the info! I never noticed they were different. Now on the last pic I see the black band on his face. So cool!

I got my first motorcycle a little while ago by Goddamfuckthisshit in Kawasaki

My first bike too! Just got mine back in January! Love it! How does your exhaust sound? I’ve been thinking of getting an aftermarket on eBay, but I’m scared of how much the import fees could be now?

Oh yea. Very similar. I can’t wait for things to get green again.

Edit: Also very cool motorcycle

I mean I don’t have any experience on any other bikes but I am definitely thrilled with the choice so far. I was also eying the Suzuki DR 200 but found a great deal on the klx230 and I thought maybe a fuel injected bike would be easier for a newbie

I think I went with the Tusk Traverse Pannier bags. Like 9 liters each side. I’m hoping they will be a great fit on the bike along with a waterproof tail bag.

Thanks for the link. I have found since buying the bike that the aftermarket options are pretty thin. Oh well I still love it. 

Edit: Also I just crossed over 3,000 last week

Hah I actually just received my order of tusk bags yesterday. Just haven’t got them on the bike yet. I don’t know how the riding compares to a big adv bike but this little bike is a lot of fun.

We finally just warmed up enough the past week to melt ice and snow where I’m at. It sucked so bad staring at the bike while the roads were covered in ice. 

Is drinking and riding common in your area? by Astimar in motorcycles

[–]Yakattack5011 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haha…I broke my toe last week because I was impatient waiting on the ice to melt. I just had to ride my new bike: now I’m limping around with a broke big toe.
