Oh boy, this thing going south fast. I would argue that the boomers where better than my generation (gen x'er). At least i know my dad is a better man than me and i think i do my part.
I rather keep talking about dirt bikes getting cheaper though. Im in the market and can luckily afford to pay cash!! Where is me a good priced used 350 at? I'm also looking for a decent adventure bike. Im leaning towards an 890 but thinking a 690 might work best for me back east.

Did any of you guys see all those adventure bikes that guys rode in on at the mxdn. They all parked over by the entrance close to the pits!!

I have the kind of savings to pick up a used Super Tenere. They have some with 8-10k miles for about $7-8k. Heard some bad things about the model but much more affordable than bmw or triumph

The super tenere is a 1200. The tenere 700 is more popular on social media. I’m thinking of a longer overland trip one day

There is some validity to that point. I would argue that my father lived in a different era where communication was much, much slower, and the scourge of social media didn't yet exist. Would they have not tolerated it? They weren't equipped to even imagine it. I don't recall ever once having a discussion about politics with my old man.

Regardless, I am a contributor to the success of this democracy, as flawed as it is. What have YOU done?

What have I done? I begrudgingly pay my tax. But as a guy in his mid 20’s, the country I live in was already surrendered by the men before me - the boomers. So I get to sit around and work my job and pay into the welfare state, watch my friends die thanks to the Boomers open borders and watch women get drunk and tease men thanks to the feminism that your generation permitted. Where is my wife? Where is my affordable real estate? I have basically nothing to live for, and that’s because you and your friends gave everything Away to the enemy for nothing in return.
Maybe if you weren't on the internet bitching about getting a woman you could find one maybe educate yourself to get a better job that would have fixed both! F****** kids want to blame everybody else!

Your intentionally missing the point in an effort to stand for your own sense of pride. The women my age, let’s say about 26-27 are simply not worth going after. Many of them are diseased from having too many sexual partners, have highly inflated sense of self worth, and just have severe psychological and emotional problems due to the current regime and its programming.

I’m literally at the point where I have to cyber date russian women until I’m at the point where I’m ready to go over and pick one up. Oh and I didn’t mention the fact that the ratio of American men to American women is about 10:1 if you exclude the obese females

No you seriously need to get some help I have a son your age and he's doing amazing has an awesome girlfriend who is highly educated and they are thinking about buying property not only here but out of state also it can be done if you educate yourself! You need to get out of whatever bubble you're in and look at the whole world maybe talk to some people maybe your parents!

And I'm the problem. You are welcome in my home anytime. I know a few things you could use to learn. I'm pretty damn good at turning children into adults.

Im thinking power lines, light trails, gas lines, dirt roads, etc back home in bama (in cali working) so i think that 1200 will be too big/heavy for the ride im loooking for but i would like to have one capable of 4-5 hour hwy trip with lady friend. So the 690 probably not good for that. So thats why im torn between sizes.

That Tenere 700 is another bike I occasionally look around for as a project bike. I'd like to find one with a blown motor, completely rebuild it and strip it down.

If some dude got scared of a 250 2stroke its because he cant ride very well, not because the bikes too scary. This guy i know was bragging because he “picked up an 05 CR250R that was so fast the guy who owned it rode it once and got scared”. I jokingly said “what, someone was scared of a CR250R?” He got so pissed he said hed race me for pinks and he’d smoke any YZ450 on it. I own a 21 YZ450

finally someone who gets it

alot of these guys on here jut dont get it. so his son has a gf who isnt a bad girl and he thinks thats everyones case, mean while marriage and birth rates have been falling for 5+ years in a row.

im very fortunate to have a good paying job and since i work with statistics/data all day i can put aside my own point of view and look at the big picture, something most boomers cannot.

From what you describe it sounds like the perfect tool for the job, and I own a Tenere 700. A GSA850 or Triumph 900 would be good for what you describe too.

I hesitate to suggest the T700 because the bigger bikes are going to be way, way better riding 2-up on the highway. While it’s a lot more capable for serious off-road, those others are plenty capable too for what you’ve described.
