I freaking love this bike. I love the way it looks and I love its place in the market. So cool.
Here are some other random images for you.
Found this Juvenile bald eagle who decided to piss off the sparrows in my neighbors tree. Very strange, we never have eagles in this area...not sure where this guy came from or where he’s going.
Speaking of oddities.
In the cool places to park category
Also, straight, boring road is straight and boring
I t goes on like this for 24 miles...no curves no elevation, no trees, no peo ple, no...anyt hing.
The GX is SOOOO much better a tow vehicle than the 80. More power, more comfort, more control, more quiet, more MPG. Its a perfect tow vehicle for this size of trailer.

I think the last time I saw a payphone was in Tulsa Oklahoma in 2015.
Edit:
I was so amazed, I took a picture and posted it to facebook, back when I still used that.

Was the pay phone still connected? Did you check for a dial tone?

still connected. To be fair, cell service out here is pretty spotty with a good carrier. If you came from back east or overseas or just used a smaller network carrier this would be it. Though if the casino didn’t let you use their phone in an emergency it would be pretty poor.

Mmm. That Africa Twin. Best colorway too.

Something tells me that there is a fairly large percentage of Oppos who have never actually seen one of these before in real life.
Also, if you dial 991+the payphones phone number, wait for the tone and then hang up it'll cause the phone to start ringing.

That could be true.

Sat on an Africa the other day, much bigger than I expected! I'm 5'11" and if I were any shorter it would be too tall for me. Off road it might be too tall already in some situations. If really like to ride one though.

Its not a small bike. I thi nk it would be hard for 5'9" me to ride, but that wont stop me from wanting one.

Did you ever do ballet? Because you would have to stand on the very tips of your toes like a ballerina to keep this thing upright at a stop!

really? I’m 5'11" and it fit me okay ish. certianly tall, but not unridably so...
maybe its because I’m mainly legs (33inch inseam)

Sounds like a good bike for me! I would learn how to ride for something this cool.

Due to this comments location I seriously thought you were talking about the pay phone a first. I like my version better, tbh.

When the time is right, I still plan on getting a CRF50 for my son and a CRF250 Rally for me. I’d freaking love an Africa Twin, but that wouldn’t be a great bike to ride alongside my son. I’m partial to red/white/blue Honda’s, though. My first new bike was a ‘93 CBR900RR.
We’ve had an influx of raptors, too. We’ve had a kestrel show up on our back fence every night around 6. We’ve had a Coopers Hawk hanging out too, it bagged a rabbit the other day.

A CRF250 is what I really want, but the Twin is just so cool.

Okay ish another inch of in seam would do it for me. Don't get me wrong, I'd ride it as is and do just fine, but it's not exactly in the sweet spot for me.

Do it!
