Here we dont have such laws. Ive got holders, but I was hoping someone made a case tht didnt scream "im a rifle, steal me" . . .

My scopes usually do all right but I had to send one my of camera lenses in one time for recalibration. I usually just have a "truck gun" without a scope with me when generally just riding.

I live in North Idaho. Theres lots of places to get lost for a day or two in.

Right? Always had gloves, always boots on a bike. Quads are a bit different. But . . I still have two legs because Ive always worn boots on motorcycles.

why I only got a black eye . . . Ive been riding bikes of some sort for decades . . they got ripped off with my lid . . . I cant understand folks that wear flipflops on motorcycles. thats the surest way to guarantee your going to NEED a helmet

It hooks up well going up my backyard. I gained traction and acceleration over the stock tires. (CST Abuzz)

Pretty happy with them so far. Good road manners and better traction than my stock CST tires had. I wanted an AT tread because I spend a lot more time riding this thing all over than I expected to. I should have a chance to get out on a trail tomorrow and see how they do. They certainly do great in my backyard and climbing the hill though.

change your government.

Real Harleys are a labor of love. Nothing better than single kicking your hand built Pan or Shovel when some dude is struggling with his push button Japarley Koreason Special Edition SOA Dynabling Glide with matching factory sneakers . . . . Never mind the Rump Ranger Riders out there these days. I've ridden in runs running with over 10,000 machines (thats not a mistype) and never seen the level of douchery I see now days. The stunt rice riders have better manners on the road. I did a lot of reading on the brand before I bought one. I'd had cash in hand for two years meeting the great covid wall and seriously . . 8k for a 12 year old used machine because folks were on the pillage thy neighbors wallet bandwagon was ridiculous. When I got into the machine and started doing the maintenance? Pretty easy to work on and the engine itself is elegant. The one common thing I noticed was the majority of issues oriented around initial dealer set up (lackadaisical work) and sloppy break in. Yes, CFmoto had some issues, but they RESPONDED to consumer issues and quality problems by upping their game. The KTM/Bosch/CVtech partnerships really caught my eye. I know about KTM and bosch but researched those connections too. And thats what really sold me. KTM IS a NAME and so is CVTech. They aren't going to partnerup with a bad risk

Ive used mine for skidding timber, railing in snow, trail riding, getting the snot knocked out of me and havent had any real issues yet. Yet of course. before I bought mine I sat back and researched for 6 months pretty seriously. KTM, Bosch and CVTech all got into business with CFmoto. "most" of the reports besides the errant weird stuff seems to center around dealer attention to detail. Sloppy final assembley in other words. A large portion of the rest if you read reviews, is people just not taking care of them and trying to Rod and Mod them before the motor is broken in or intentionally trying to break them. 2019 they had a bad run with transmissions, scrapped their plan and got serious with CVTech. In other words the Company listened to the consumer and fixed the issue. It's turning its first thousand and except for the silly little buzzer falling onto teh exhaust and shorting the main cicuit (five cent fix when I figured it out) I have had ZERO issues with my 22 800XC Engine wise, take care of it is a solid engine. It's cleanly manufactured, cleanly fitted and just, nice looking. Sounds good, feels good, rolls out and throttles down very good. If youve looked at my time lapse video the hill in my backyard ramps up to 40 + degrees in a few spots and my bush bike just smokes the hill. It doesnt see it as a hill, just a steep flat spot. I certainly wont knock Honda or Yamaha but I would compare Cf right now to the early days when Honda got serious about building to the American Market. Back when I was a kid we used to say the same things about all the rice burners. Well, we were wrong. The things are winning races, smoking polaris' and can ams in mud pits and growing a pretty large following of modders and riders. (Real talk powersports/Main Street and RNG) I wanted a machine for Trail riding a bit of serious off roading and heavy labor around my place. I got sick of waiting for dealers taliing smack (and I had money to cash out the door at any time), watching people charging 20% over current MSRP for a ten year old machine with it's tongue hanging out of its intake and after a year of reading reviews and doing walk and talk arounds. I said screw it, Im not waiting for people to get their heads on right. ten months later Im not regretting it. But I did the break in immaculately and actually take care of the machine too. Too much dang fun to ride.

Tried . . . failed. got a heck of a shiner from it. I'm good at ducking and rolling into the unexpected but oops, ya git hit once in awhile anyway. That last large blow down top was the one that got me. If ya look close as Im walking back after picking up my helmet and cam, you can see stick poking up from the front of my bike. It (one in a million?) slid up in the adjustment slot on my gun (moose) fork and that whipped the tree top down under the visor. I thought I was going off until my lid went flying. Still a good ride and a good day. If Id been on the throttle it would have been bad. Ill take a chainsaw next time . . . once was enough.

. . . minding my own business and a blow down tree mugged me. If Id been rolling fast id be in a pretty bad way. Got out of it with the first black eye Ive had in decades.

I've got five acres here that opens out into a large clear cut to goof off in. My extended back yard and front yard are millions of acres.

Gonna be kind of fun tuning my clutch for this terrain. Its fairly indiciative of North Idaho. Some mud, a bit of slick rock and lots of rocky trails and hardpack. But its a good way to lose the day and forget about stuff for a moment in time or two.

the best part is that is literally my backyard. once I get done with getting my beehives going and other such stuff I'll be hitting the woods, theres some stunning places and views here. Part of why I just can't be pried out of the rocky mountains for long without being homesick.
