Xsr900 or z900?
The indecision is killing me. Went to the dealer thinking i knew what i wanted(the yamaha xsr900) then they brought up the Kawasaki z900. What are your thoughts on the two?

The Bags still shut
I found this sub last night and here I am today posting this, the impact and the driver bit case went into my back pack along with flowers I bought on my way home. Sadly I had to leave the other 12 sodas at work but I’ll still get to enjoy them there.

o DAS or not to DAS? (Or: Will an 80-mile daily commute kill a 125cc, and me with it?)
Alright folks, absolute novice here looking for some wisdom before I inevitably make a financial error.
I’ve finally pulled the finger out. Theory test is booked. Next step is booking the CBT, and then the plan was to head towards the DAS (Direct Access Scheme). But I’ve hit a bit of a fork in the road and my brain is short-circuiting.
Here is the dilemma:
Option A: Go straight for the DAS, pass it (fingers crossed, touch wood, don't look at the examiner wrong), and buy a proper big bike. I’m currently heavily eyeing up a Triumph Trident 660.
Option B: Do the CBT, put the big bike dreams on ice, and bumble around on a 125cc for a while to "gain experience." I quite like the look of the Lexmoto Detroit/Keeway V-Cruise style of things.
The entire reason I'm getting a license is for my daily work commute. It is an 80-mile round trip. Every day. Five days a week. And it includes a lovely, windy, A-road.
My gut is telling me that if I try to rag a 125cc down an A-road for 80 miles a day, five days a week, the bike would hate me and I might not enjoy the commute?
Being completely new to two wheels, am I disrespecting the power of a 600cc+ machine by jumping straight on one? Or am I being entirely realistic that a 125cc on a heavy daily commute is basically a form of structural torture?
Any advice, reality checks, or insults about my choice of bikes would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers!

I’m proud of this one.
Sold a set of panniers and racks. Had to get them to ups somehow.

Had a Doordash with 15 Gatorades, 2 8-packs and a gallon of milk...

This came up in my memories, 9 years ago when I had no car 🤣
Thought you guys may appreciate it 😂 and yes it's a double mattress going to the dump!

Nothing crazy, but I believe this fits here
How I decided to get my tires to the shop. First time I've ridden with something strapped in this manner so I was a little worried at first, but it was cake.

5-string bass on an XT660X - Rehearsals during rush hour, beats a car and traffic.
Top box also loaded with like 20KG (~45lbs) of gear. Handles fine just need to tack crosswinds like a sailboat 😅

This is probably one of the biggest reasons I prefer soft bags over hard cases
For starters they are way way cheaper per liter than a hard case. And if you have a luggage rack you can get very nice ones that attach well. You can fit very odd loads like this fan that I just bought while still being able to cinch it down with the roll top and have it be stable. Plus unlike hard cases when my bags are empty they're smaller and will lay pretty much flat against the side of the bike sticking out less than 2 in

moved 8 feet of pex with the gs today
tied it to my belt loop and laid it over the fairing - felt like I was jousting with oncoming traffic

New and improved luggage/ door dash system!
The box is the old one. I have added the OEM rear rack to my eliminator along with a custom, very sturdy, three cup cup holder. Good goes on seat with the straps, cups in holder.
I have motorcycle cup holders coming next week that attach to the rails on my rack but this will do for now (I hope 😅)
