Mileage Psycho Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Last fall I picked up a Honda CB500X to ride locally and up north on backroads, and while I couldn't really ride it with the shoulder healing last fall this spring I was riding it, and that's when I found out my wife wouldn't get on the back for all the tea in China. So I knew she would get on this as she liked an RT we test rode a few years back, and I'm telling you this thing is hoot to ride! Although I do get confused between the brain thinking bike then sled.....no clutch handle (bike) no brake handle (sled), and sometimes I go for a thumb squeeze instead of twisting the throttle. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling my vstrom and looking for something different when I get back from vacation Take her to BuRP dealer and go for a test ride, she'll like it. I picked it up last Saturday and then it snowed on Sunday, and the weather has been shitty except for Wednesday, tomorrow is going to be nice but we have many baskets to bring to the Easter brunch...........🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference between a F3 and a RT, the F3 with the lower CG is like a slot car and it rides great with the Sachs air ride shock in the back.

The problem is like sleds she might want her own. the one in the pic is a 2012, 14,000 miles $10,000.00 Long saddlebag trips should be great even driving in the rain would feel safer on 3 wheels instead of 2 Edited April 20, 2019 by Mainecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter toured Flagler college yesterday in at Augustine. We spent the day there and are now in Daytona Beach which has gone from being rough to high end since I was here last. Beaching it tomorrow then maybe universal on Monday if that's what she decides on. Low key stress less with no plan or hotels booked till we left. I am in a room now I booked from the parking lot to get the hotel.com night credit . It would drive rocket nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a lot of those tours while we were there. The distillery and chocolate factory tour were my two favorites. Especially the distillery, cause my wife was giving me her free samples. I had a hell off a nice buzz going when we left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early flight out Tuesday You would have enjoyed both. Next time you're there, definitely make an effort to yea, my son wasn't to happy that he had to go do the distillery tour but couldn't sample yet. Same with the Yuengling and Sam Adam's tours a couple of years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Looks like she's going to OH for school not here so not sure when we will be back although we might do a Savannah fall trip and could do a day there as we'd fly into Jacksonville for that.

Woodtick Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Looks great Vince. My buddy has the exact same one and has put 30k on it in two years. The trans did come unglued at 20k? Neilsons to care of it under warranty and took care of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put 170 miles on a Slingshot last September in the area of the Northern Kettle Moraine between Kewaskum and Elkhart Lake, lot of hills and curves...it's when coming up to the crest of hills with a driveway when you really realize how close to the ground you are. The Slingshot is a blast to drive, lots of snort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
