I used to ride motorcycles a lot, for like 15 years I was on them as much as I could be, pretty much every 600 you can think of and then one day I decided they weren't powerful enough and I bought a 954RR Fireblade... after a multitude of near death experiences and trips to nearly 300km/h I decided I'd had enough of riding to die and got a little 250 offroad bike and went camping with friends riding logging trails and going up to Bella Coola... found that so much more rewarding. Then I basically stopped riding for almost 5 years and in Calgary now decided to get back into it.
Looked at a few off-road bikes like the inevitable BMW GS everyone ends up with cuz they're just so fucking good, but you can't bear to buy it at first because everyone and their dog named Ewan or Charley had one... decided instead to tribute Badhobz and go Italian with an Aprilia Tuareg 660... put a deposit on one... then got cold feet over a weekend at spending $16k on a fuckin bike when I hadn't even rode for 5 years and decided to get a used Honda instead. 2024 NX500 with only 3,600kms on it dude was desperate to sell before moving to Dubai. Smooth, reliable, precise, slightly slower and really boring... get some seat time back on a bike and know that it won't give me any troubles. First ride was up to Canmore and back.
Next plans are for some streetable knobby tires so I can go to Kananaskis and do off-road trails with less wobble wobble than these things when it gets a bit soupy.
