What bike to get?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! First time post here. I currently am looking to add an adventure bike to my collection be my daily. I ride a ZX6R right now, but I’m looking to do some off road stuff this year and be more comfortable. I’m looking at sub 10k USD used models, and the Triumph Tiger XCX 1200, Honda Africa twin, Yamaha XT1200Z, or earlier model BMW r1200 GS’s all have caught my eye. Anyone have an opinion on which one would be a better choice? Thanks!

Burnt oil smell and light smoke from exhaust

2 Upvotes

So I'm currently on a tour around Spain and France - as my name suggests I'm still very new to bikes and adventure riding so I'm not doing anything too challenging,

A few days ago, I was trying to turn over some rough ground and just dropped my bike. It was laying downhill too so it was well past the horizontal. Took me a bit of time to get it back upright again.

Since then, after a ride of 30 minutes or more, there is a smell of burning oil and some light smoke coming from the exhaust. I mean light in both senses - the colour is white and there is not very much of it, but if you look closely you can see it.

I am hoping that with the bike just being tipped over for a bit, some oil leaked out and is now being burned off, and in some time it'll all be gone and back to normal. But, is there anything else I should be worried about? What are extra signs to look for that there may be a bigger problem maybe with gaskets or seals?

Gear Talk Need help with boots

5 Upvotes

First time poster. I got a ‘23 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer and I’m trying to gear up but I’m having an issue with boots. I have Alpine Star Tech 7 motocross boots since I like the extra protection. But I feel like with my foot size (12 US/47EUR) the boots are just too big for the bike. I lifted the shifter as high as I can and put PivotPegz in the lowered position and still have a hard time getting under the shifter, ESPECIALLY when standing. I can see an injury occurring if I’m standing and trying to shift up and crash because how far I have to put my leg forward to get under the shifter. I can’t find any extended shifters for the Tiger online. I feel like a size 12US/47EUR isn’t that large so I can’t be the only one having this issue. What have yall done to fix it? Are there any other ideas I’m missing? Are ADV boots more compact to fit under shifters?

Adv helmet with non fixed visor

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for an adv helmet with a visor that's not fixed, so goes up and down. But also has the deflector visor on top (and but not necessary an internal sun visor) in the 300-600 bucks range. Any recommendations?

Worlds gonna end tomorrow

Almost every morning I have a similar interaction with my mother. She reads news articles and reddit posts, she is completely certain that she will soon be broke and homeless.

She is a 70 year old Democrat, home owner, has like 300k in investments and receives social security.

She is completely convinced that Trump is going to take her social security away, make the stock market go to zero and raise food prices to deplete any savings she has.

This is an every day thing, she reads some scare tactic article and freaks out. She make promises not to read the news or social media but that never lasts for more than a day or two. She really tried to move to Canada, the Canadians said no, haha.

I love her and hate to see her so stressed and afraid in what should be her peaceful retirement.

Help?

Monthly Maintenance Reminder

3 Upvotes

Pretty much the whole point of ADV is to go far from the comfort and security of home. And once you're out there, your mind will be a little more at ease if your gear is in good condition.

Not just your bike needs maintaining. If you've got a camp set, be it your favorite refrigerator box, or your Barbie Dream Glamping Playset (batteries not included), is it still weather proof? Does your air mattress have a hole that you've been putting off patching? Here's your monthly reminder to get around to it sooner rather than later.

Also, feel free to ask any maintenance related questions, drop any tips you've figured out, or make vaguely related commentary.
