Good job to all that are losing the lbs!. I have been watching myself closer since this thread popped up and am happy to report I have officially punched new belt holes in my belts lol. In all seriousness, I have gone from 225 to 190 since my first comment in this thread, which I am pretty stoked on as I honestly feel like I haven't forced myself to do anything drastic, just small things like "one less burger", or "might as well walk" type stuff. Funny story though. My brother is getting married this summer and I had to...

I will jump into this. Lost 30 some lbs and slowly creeping back up by gaining 12 lbs back. Crossfit 4 days a week. Walk 3+ miles a day 5 days a week. Had Cyber Knife treatment prostrate cancer last September and everything thing is great. Knee replacement is in my future. Will be 67 this September. A good way to get back on track. Starting weight 224.9

Been riding the indoor trainer 3-5x a week. Haven’t lost weight but haven’t gained any over winter so that’s a plus as the last 4 years or so gained about 5-7 lbs over winter and over summer only lost a pound or two so it’s been adding up. Would like to lose around 5-10 so feel I can do that by keeping this up through spring and then summer should take care of itself

That is egregious.... Really surprised that Honda let these get out the door....

Look at the top of the bar

Good to hear they finally issued a recall for this! Bikes were arriving with faulty bar mounts that wouldn't tighten down against the handlebar. They'd bottom out on the mounts first and the bars would slip. Bikes are good as far as I know, they just need new bar mounts.

We know what hill you are choosing to die on. Shame it's a pitchers mound at sea level instead of the Himilayas, but you do you! No one calls any of the other Factory or Works Edition bikes a "half" as they are released at the exact same time as the regular production models. The Austrians get labeled as such due to their mid season release approximately 6 months (hey, that's a half year!) offset from the regular production models.

That’s odd. Mine had 84 hours on it when I sold it and didn’t notice any issues like that

Hold onto your hat this will be a bit long winded... Wasn’t expecting to get to this for at least a week or so but had time today and went for it. I found 2 obvious problems and some other lesser but likely useful stuff. FORTUNATLY ALL ARE FIXABLE! It does not look like we have a design problem here, just some bad parts. This has been a consistent theme with these bikes. Anyway, armed with the following info I have confidence based on past experience that anyone good with their hands can make their Triumph shift well, avoid the...

He has made several main events, but this was his first one at Daytona. Being a Florida native its very special to him. Great to see these moments!

Precisely what being a Christian is, accepting Jesus because we fall short of his glory and we were born sinners. It’s not about being perfect.

Using Sexton as a example of how a bike handle is as bad as using Prado as an example for how bad the Kawasaki is. Sexton complained about the Honda that Jett dominated on. Sexton struggled on the KTM for one full season before he started to turn it around. Sexton has won one race on the Kawasaki now, does he look awesome? - No, but he did not look awesome on the KTM at the beginning neither while others could ride good on that bike then. The main thing here is that both Prado and Sexton have a really...

Thats a great deal!

I was finally able to get mine out and get it broke in. Power wise so far I like it better than my 24 Yamaha. Super smooth linear power. I did not feel much of a difference playing with the different mapping options. As far as suspension it felt pretty good. Not earth shattering but definitely smooth and a better feel than what I remember air feeling on my 19 KTM. Set up in the middle of recommended range and then went to the comfort setting. Still need to play around with it and probably bump up spring rates. So...

I'm not going to critique every rider on your list, as many were not championship material (thinking fill in and B riders) Let's look at some success with those that rode for Kawasaki. You completely disrespected James Stewart, perfect season outdoors in 2008 aboard the KX450F RC won both the MX and SX title his final year with Kawasaki.
