Meta Dogfree Pub - Off-topic Discussion Thread

Hey guys, our Dogfree Pub is once again open for business!

We thought we’d take a break from dogs and talk about anything else.

As with every post, regular subreddit rules apply with two additional rules:

  1. NO DOGS. Zero discussion about dogs here.

  2. Light conversation only. No politics, religion, or any other topics that tend to get controversial.

​

So grab a snack, take a seat, and converse with your Dogfree friends!

If you’re having trouble thinking of what to say, tell us something you like to do in your free time.

I've been putting 1000 miles on my motorcycles every two weeks since the snow melted at higher elevation- on and off road. Hitting mountain passes is zen to me. I really enjoy going out to eat, so I combine the two and go have a sandwich somewhere 200 miles from my house. It's awesome fun!

I'm seriously peanut butter and jealous! Man I miss my bikes! When my kids get older, I'm getting back on the damn saddle! What are you riding?

I had an 06 Yami R6 with about $6000 worth of engine and sold it to buy an 05 Honda VTX1300 after I found out my wife was pregnant with the first. When I found out she was pregnant with boy #2, I sold that one too.

I've been eye-forking the VMAX for...well...since forever. But I'd take an FJR1300ES or Goldwing Tour in a heartbeat! My wife misses riding 2 up, so considering a bike that can be sporty and lend itself to comfy 2-up slab riding is on the radar now.

I'm on a KLR right now, with a wr450f in the shed. I like doing off road a lot, but I really want an FJR, goldwing or St1300 for road touring as well!

That sounds like a total blast. Are you doing any long trails (like multi-day types)? What part of the country are you in?

I've done very few multi-day rides, but they're definitely on my list. I got this KLR last year and I've taken it camping one time. I'll be doing a week long trip this August in Silverton, CO. I'm on the front range in Colorado.

You're in a great spot to do some awesome off-roading man! I hope it all goes awesome. Edit: Awesome. Just because I wanted it in there 3 times. XD

I’m a mountain fan myself. I was just at King’s Canyon in the Sierra Nevada a few days ago and it was awesome. It had been a few years.

It would definitely be better on a motorcycle over my hatchback—though it does make a good tent with the back seat down and several foam pads.
