Adventures with my TE310 - the beginning

Can you mount them to the fork uppers, between the triple clamps?

Might want to look into these brackets for mounting the lights. I have them on my SMR (with the VPS handguards) but I can see that being an ideal place to mount lights if you have the area available.

They're about 3 1/2 inches deep.
I wanted them in case the main headlight blew. But, TrailTech's hooking me up with spares...so probably don't even need them.

Broke my thumb again. Need to start wrapping it in something.

My Dad just got fired, 6 months before retirement.
Maybe I can convince him to come with me.
Anyone know a decent cheap bike for a 300 lb old guy that doesn't know how to ride?

What's cheap? I would say maybe a DRZ or an XR

Sorry about your dad & thumb.

DRZ400S

No worries!
These things happen.

Doc let me practice X-ray workups with him, which was fun. Made my own splint. Impressed him - said I should take an orthopedics rotation.

Dad could use the time off. Trying to talk him into opening a shop pursuing his hobby, restoring old tractors.

A clean used DRZ can be had for around $3000, just sayin'

Has your Adventure ended ?

Don't forget the good ole KLR, since your dad likes tractors the KLR runs like an old John Deere B model.( forever)

A close friend of mine rides a KLR and he couldn't be happier.

For sale:
One 2009 Husqvarna TE310. And various camping equipment and some expensive maps.

WHAAAAAAT?

Aww man, was hoping you were well into your trip by now.

sigh... lemme guess, the wife and kid thing is getting in the way of your adventuring? That's too bad.

But I think you'll find being a father is an adventure of it's own. You can buy another bike later on.

that sucks, forgot the life intrusion index ? I hope you keep the bike and reschedule the trip.

Glad to see you posting again. Sucks to hear about your trip.

If I get on the trail, I won't come back.

$10,500. Come and get it.

10,500. is this right? Is there gold in the frame tubes? Sorry to here your trip ended, but life get's in the way more often than not. Try not selling the bike, I speak from experience,it takes a looong time to get them back.

I get the feeling you have a lot of idiot experience you're dying to tell me about.

$10,500 firm.
Unless you can find a lighter, better set up motorcycle capable of doing 10,000 miles and 90+ mph.
