P1000 Two Brothers

[nitzo]

This is kind of cool, my brother bought a Pioneer and about 2 weeks later I bought one. We kind of talked about it, but both decided around the same time we wanted one,it's just weird. He and I both have 2009 Yamaha Tmax's, the yellow ones. Both had adventure bikes and never really rode together. I've had right at 60 bikes in my life and I think he is around 40 or so. We would meet up at Indy for the MotoGP when it was there. We met at Laguna Seca in 05 when Nicky won. We only see each other every 5 or 10 years, we live 3000 miles apart . Anyway, he's coming down here for bike week to watch the 200 and the flatrack. It's really cool having an older brother, even when you are old yourself..........I love him so.

Heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing. Cherish him! I lost my only brother to a heart attack in 2014. He was only 48 and I was 46. Died at his house in his wife's arms. I got the call and I had to deliver the news to our parents at 2:30 am. RIP Joel. I love and miss you.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE BROTHERLY LOVE; enjoy your time together. my brother and I always did everything together as our dad died when we were 13 n 14 but over the last few years we have drifted apart he is a alcoholic and diabetic ( destroying himself 2 half gal. JD a week).been trying hard to get back what we once had I really miss the togetherness.

That's great. Nice bike and good choice on the wheels and tires.

 

[Russ989]

That’s awesome

 

[JTW]

That’s cool.. genetics!

 

[nitzo]

good choice on the wheels and tires.

Gotta give it to JTW on that one, he recommended the set-up and I just followed what he said.. I'm very pleased.

 

[elkguide]

Good choices for sure. Love the yellow.

Any chance of getting some closeup photos of how the fans are mounted?

Great story, thank you for your words. I like your rig too.

I removed the offset nut enclosure for the side safety nets to attach to. This gave me a totally flat triangular surface to mount a fan base to. The mounting holes are threaded and hold the fan(s) very securely.
