It finally happened. Life is going to be difficult for a little while.
I had to take the Monster in for service. So I’ll be without it for far too long (any amount of time is too long). I don’t know what to do without it. It’s like if someone took the internet at from E90M3 so he couldn’t unnecessarily car shop. Or Photoshop from McMike so he couldn’t put random objects into Steven Segal’s hands. Or busted Jeeps from David Tracy.
It’s getting a front tire. And it may have a possible starting/charging issue, but likely no problem found.
I did the oil change, brake fluid, clutch fluid, and chain maintenance after work yesterday.

You don’t need a front tire, if all you do is dank whoolies.

I know the feelz. Had to send my st3 in for two weeks last summer (valve adjustment). Longest two weeks of my life

Lol the thought of buying another bike crossed my mind. But CB500x with a rally raid kit.

Buying another bike has crossed my mind but it would be irresponsible.

This is why I have two bikes*, when a simple one day tire change turns into a two week wait because apparently my tire size is hard to find and they drop the ball on telling me that they cant find tires, I have another bike to ride.
*non-running and non-road legal bikes excluded.

Awww.. come on man! You know that Monster would love a desert sled to keep it company!

I’ll get there. They have my tire in stock already. But I told them to leave it sit for a few days to see if the battery goes flat. Because that’s happened a few times.

My bank account disagrees. And it would probably be a CB500x rally raid

Better to get problems fixed than stranded somewhere, but the pain of being without a bike still sucks.

For sure. And I’m taking a long trip on it in a few weeks so now is the time.

You should just go take your Grom out for a rip. It will make you feel better, I promise.

if only I knew someone with a grom and lots of rides who was kind enough to let me borrow one so I didn’t have to use 4 wheels...

Seriously though, awesome deals on the small displacement stuff from that dealer right now.

Wait... Those are cheaper than all of the used ones on Craigslist. How

Holy crap the Z125 is cheap!

Right? If I wasn’t at peak capacity I’d pick up a z125 just as a cheap commuter!

Should be like 2550 out the door if you let them do the title work...

Aren’t you an engineer..? Fabricobble up a fancy bike storage system! With pulleys! And levers!
Is the Z125 basically just a Grom with different body panels or are they quite different?

You could always *shudder* take public transportation...
I’m guessing the AMG hasn’t been used much lately?

But I’m saving for my trip! Damn you!
Oops, replied to wrong comment. Oh well!

Fundamentally different, almost no part interchangeability. From a feel perspective, both are similar enough, but definitely not a re-badge.
I have a low ceiling garage and floor space is about as full as it can be. I guess i could de furnish my basement and make that a motorcycle workshop... hmmmm...

Gross no why would you say such a thing
It took me to Cali over the weekend! It gets used for running the kid around but not much else. Might drive it. Or ride the bicycle.
