Maybe they are shootable after a good gunsmith gave them a once-over. But otherwise I don’t know what to do with them other than make a display case to put over the fireplace mantel.

What do you do with yours?

I have a Japanese Browning Auto 5 from my Pops that is obviously one I’ll invest some time and effort in. It maybe these are just a nice patina for the wall. The breech load is pretty classic though!

For commuting in the city but also for adventures that might include some bad dirt roads.

I know there's no bike that can do both perfectly, but if you wanted to be comfortable at 80mph on the super slab while also having confidence to navigate some wash-outs on forest roads, loose gravel etc. which would be the best compromise?

I just sold my KLX 300 (photo included for eye candy). It was a fun little bike but I'm not doing much recreational dirt riding. Rather, I just need to get to trailheads via forest roads, etc. Dirt roads in national parks or BLM, that kinda stuff.

I have a '22 Speed Twin 1200 that I've been commuting on. Love that bike and I'll keep it forever, but I'd like more of a swiss-army ADV for commuting and the more punishing highway miles.

Cheers~

EDIT/update: I'm pickup up a 2022 900 Rally Pro. Very excited, thanks for the recs.

The fourth and final national park I’m cruising this trip is the apex, the mothership, the center of the universe: Yosemite Valley. I told myself I cannot post a shot of the bike in front of El Cap until I’ve climbed it this season, so hopefully I’m posting again before the end of the month; an injured finger be dammed ✌🏼
