    I love it, such a cool bike! I always liked that color, too. Seems to be a color of that era. I remember Pontiac had a similar one on some of their models in the early 2000s. They called it "Fusion Orange Metallic," apparently. It'll be fun to see what you're going to do with it. No shortage of aftermarket parts and knowledge out there. Did you start reading about fork swaps yet? 😄 If it's running strong, hopefully it won't take you too much time and money to get it track worthy, and you can go full race prep from there!

    Great series - I’m well down this road, I’ll be heading out to pick up a bike from a dealer but to get an export license, the registration office requires a private local to be a responsible person (or some shit) to forward possible fines and penalties. It cannot be a business and the dude in the dealer won’t do it….did you run into this issue?? I may need to go with a courier because of it…..

    Hey I was watching your gixxer carb build as I’m having nightmares with my carbs 98. Keeps dumping fuel in oil, set floats at 8mm like you said, checked needles etc, any other ideas, thanks my man

    • @TheGorillaBiker
      @TheGorillaBiker День назад

      Did you change/ clean the needle seat? I've actually heard of that issue a lot with them. Other things to check is you have the low power carb fuel pump, as the EFI unit does work but is way too high pressure, also make sure your petcock is shutting off, if it's not then it will overwhelm the floats and needles eventually when the bike is sitting. The good news is it's definitely one of only a small few things :)

    Don't rent out your bike with this company Riders-Share. I was renting out my bike for several yrs until a oppurtunist, liar renter borrowered my bike and returned it damaged. Hole and carved marks on my side fenders. Jacked up clutch & gear. Renter changed my bike's tires without my permission on an expensive shop and Riders-share charged me for it without telling me after the bike's tires was changed. Very unprofessional. Asked the company for insurance claims but refused it and deleted my account. Very deceptive company. Dont rent it out unless you want your bike ruined someday and you will pay for the renter's mischevious, irresponsible use of your bike.

    Ah! WV is beautiful. I am close (Pittsburgh, PA) will attempt that ride later this summer/early fall. As far as which bike?....Either would be fine but I would lean toward the V-Strom. Actually, I would prefer the bike I just finished setting up for sport touring....a 2019 Z900RS.... Akro headers with Ivan tune and airbox mods, Shad SH23 side bags, Chic Design Masque Road bikini fairing (color matched) and a nice tail bag. Comfy and sporty ( I'm 6ft and 170lbs). I am looking forward to some trips on it! I don't think there is such a thing as too many overlooks....not that I would necissarily stop at all of them but it is nice to have those options! Excellent video Dude! As always, I enjoy the content. Keep 'em rolling! 😎🍻🏍👍

      It really is! You absolutely should, especially on that bike I think you'd have an absolute blast :) I want to do a lil trip on the Z soon and see how my body holds up to it. I dunno could I do the mileage I do on the vstrom, but more stops and such and I might be absolutely fine. Nice setup there also :) Haha I agree, but I end up stopping too much, they're too tempting 😂

      @@john-wq8kf fair enough! I personally have still had zero issues. Over 15k miles with it on the bike. I know inovv also make good stuff if you're still in the market for one :) Edit: I just checked as you had my interest, on Amazon.com it's rated 4.5/5 stars from 115 reviews? I didn't see anything mad negative? Where did you see it and what did you see out of interest as I'd make an update video if there was a lot of negative press out there!

    What a terrible, no good, awful place that West Virginia is! 🤣Hatter's warnings to stay out seem important. I'd ride either bike, probably the Victory first and the VStrom second, but I could be convinced to swap that. Never enough overlooks when you’re on a scenic trip.

      Hahaha they definitely are, I 100% would never visit again for longer 👀 Stromboli is wounded, saddened even. But also accepts your decision with grace as befits a vstrom. While I agree it's great to have lots of them, they're too tempting and I end up stopping too much 😂

      Honestly if it wasn’t your Stromboli and instead my own VStrom that would be ideal. Ya know?

    I overlook far too many overlooks (we call them “lookouts” in Aus) with the premise they will get better. Inevitably I regret not stopping especially when there are no more overlooks. I would happily ride either bike. Both awesome.

      That is honestly the challenge when faced with lots of them, I have turned around for really good ones before but it has to be like......amazing to cause me to spin around :D Lies. Tell the truth, you dream of Stromboli.
