Kinda looks that way. I have a pair of Daytona “sneaker boots” which are protective riding gear but look like tennies at a glance. -

Let’s soften the challenge a bit. Photo of your bike with any unaltered sign or marker of any kind with: the word tracer included or the letters f and j next to each other, no spaces or punctuation between, can be imbedded within a longer word or string of characters or just the numbers 09 (“9” not acceptable)

Kool thanks for sharing

The next challenge is a photo of your bike with an official, unaltered street sign or sign indicating a location (for example highway exit sign) that includes the word tracer. Happy hunting!

The BMW demo roadshow was in my area yesterday. I chose the R1250RT. 30 minute ride with opportunity to stretch its legs just a bit. Nice bike but I was expecting a more refined experience. There were vibrations, and power delivery was not exactly instant. Weight was down low and it felt more flickable than it looks. The fleet all had NJ plates. Could life on the road be effecting the bikes?

I’m enjoying seeing the photos and reading about the personal connections to the bikes, keep them coming!

Is there a Triumph in your past?
rustyshackles replied to Mvich's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
I rode and loved a 2012 Street Triple R until a short series of frustrating mechanical issues led me to selling, and buying the FJ-09. It was a fun bike to ride. -
What about CycleCruza? Often cheesy but he cranks out the content and is reliably pro-gear and pro-safety.

+1 SW-Motech Engage. For touring I use the its big brother Before this I used an excellent strap mounted bag 13 liter Shiloh Road Tankbag great build quality on the RKA, and unclipping one strap and sliding bag to one side to pump gas wasn’t too much of a PITA.

A great tour for folks that love Texas and love to ride. I’ll visit TOH and MCGTTX locations during the HOT as time and location permit.

When did we get so damn BORING?

I have two 14 year old boys. I have been parenting mostly using method C, believing it’s best they experience consequences before they’re driving or maybe getting a young girl pregnant. Their mother is a graduate of the B school however. -

Aerostich Transit 2. I don’t wear at the height of summer (TX) but it’s my first choice 8+ months of the year. Fit, finish and protection are superb, it looks great and wearing it makes me happy. Aerostich have resumed production of the Transit with a new (non-Goretex) waterproof membrane.

I’m of a mind as betoney and age as Cruizin. Rabble rousing online is not my style though in person some call my sense of humor depraved. Cruizin I salute you for bringing this up. Move Fireside chat to the top of the forum topic list? Things have been quiet there since I showed up but the spicy stuff could be encouraged and corralled there. Pass the hat and pay wordsmith a few AUD to come back?
