Is the classic sport-touring motorcycle doomed to extinction?

The pole is 12’ but the bar has is 10”. I bought it at Rona which is a Canadian lumber/hardware store, the brand is Kobalt. It was on sale when I bought it for the tool, battery and charger it was $130, I think the normal price was around $200 Canadian. The pole is in two sections, it can be operated using one or both sections. It is easier to use in the shorter configuration but sometimes you just need the long reach.
My memory is faulty I must have paid more looking at the website. Maybe that was the price without battery and charger.

I have a battery operated 10” pole saw, it very versatile and much more capable than I first thought.

I have one too. Well, technically one is a chainsaw (battery operated) and the other is like a hedge trimmer. Both are Ryobi.

Hmm ...what's this got to do with classic sport touring motorcycles? :unsure-2x:

They could prove to be an 'adventure' chain saw at some point ... ;)

I have two chain saws but they are not on poles. Maybe mine are dual-sport models. I do have two pole saws as well, but those are of the manual variety. The only noise you hear when those are being used is me grunting and groaning and cussing the saw dust falling into my eyes. I have learned that those are best used on windy days.

Guy I worked for back in the day was using a chainsaw in the morning before he had to attend a wedding later that afternoon. Managed to cut himself in the thigh. Dropped to the ground, hoisted his leg in the air and then used his belt as a tourniquet while shouting at his wife to call an ambulance. Still made the wedding after a short stay in the ER. Dude was old timey tough. I think it might have been a naked chainsaw...

Yea I have one of those manual saws too, that's why I want an electric.
 
Looks like the backdrop to the Kawasaki commercial where for a tenth of a second an H2 [or whatever those horrible noisy things are, yuck, who would want one of those, goes ripping through the trees in the background] and the camera focus and perspective doesn't change.

It's not an intercontinental missle like an ST, but it's a great solo backroads tourer

Maybe no missile but I put 11,000 mikes on mine between April and Sept. Bike made me smile every one of those miles and did everything I asked of it well. Several 800-900 mile days too. If my Moto Guzzi measures up as well I will be very pleased. So far it has.
