Thailand pics

XSR already broke. haha First ride and I had starter issues. Got it back to the condo and wouldn't start at all. Bump started it and got a new relay at Yamaha. Back in action now!!

I actually did notice the starter not work once when I test drove the bike so not totally unexpected.
 
Starting to run outa gas. Basically EVERY gas station has run outa something. High octane and diesel seem to be running out first. Has created a bit of a run on gas stations. Me being the smart American I'm guna buy all the TP I can get my hands on. :unsure:

Driving by you can see all the paper signs of what their out of. Hope the Straight opens soon!

Uhhh, so I just heard someone was killed on one of the Triumph demo bikes after I left.
 
2026 models arriving.

I thought the GB350 looks great. Didn't care for the color but the motor and stuff looks nice. OTD price $4850 usd.

New KLE500's are also in. The lady said they just arrived yesterday. The small back tire was the first thing I noticed. Sat on one, felt comfortable, look nice. I think they'll sell.

The white one is a demo bike.

Got home last week from another month in Thailand. Got a lot of good riding in.

Just dumping some pics so different days are mixed together.

Went for a ride with a guy from my condo. He was a newer rider. I really don't like riding the XSR this slow. With my big gel seat pad (raises my ass) there is just too much weight on my arms going below 90kph. But the 12 dollar seat pad is great under my sheepskin. And if riding alone I don't ride fast but 90-110kph is probably average and theirs virtually no weight on my arms at those speeds.

It doesn't look comfortable but I like it a lot. Better than my Airhawk. You don't feel detached from the bike like you do with the air filled pads.
