New to boards, though I could have been right here beforehand some time a again. I not too long ago bought a used 2020 RT (719 choices and paint) with low miles, however then traded it and my 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9GT+ in for 2024 Triple Black RT with some 719 choices on it.
I’m, or at the very least was, lengthy distance touring man since 2001 or so. I have been primarily a Yamaha man, my 2009 FJR served me effectively for 15 years. I’ve owned a 2006 K1200GT, and that 2020 RT, and now this 2024 RT. (additionally a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 600, 2005 Yamaha FZ6, 2006 Yamaha FZ1, 2018 Yamaha XSR900, 2019 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT, and the aforementioned 24 Tracer 9 GT+ and the RTs)
Grew up in Staten Island NY. Went to the identical highschool because the Impractical Jokers, and Vito Bratta. Moved to Montana after 9/11 so my children might develop up with their cousins and discover ways to fish , hunt, and never dodge falling buildings. Nice choice.
After 21 years in Montana, the children are self-sufficient and we’re uninterested in chilly, so we settled in St. Petersburg.
I’m planning to tour on this bike, with rather less “go-go-go” than I used to make use of. Cease, odor the roses or really espresso slightly extra. And meet up with associates everywhere in the nation earlier than it is too late.
Hope to be a useful contributor sometime. (I’ve all the time wrenched by myself Yamaha, and want a number of extra torx stuff for this RT) However for now I’ll lurk and be taught. If anybody ever desires to satisfy for espresso when your in my neck of the woods, I is likely to be up for that.
