What's the bike you're looking hard at these days? For me... the most likely next bike is a KTM 990 Adventure. What a riot to ride, those things are. If money were more loose, I'd look at a Multistrada, and if money tightens up, it'll be a DR650. I guess there's something of a theme there...

Sportrider magazine had an interview with Pirelli Tires' racing manager a few years back. It's both enlightening and left me scratching my head. https://www.sportrider.com/tips/146_0810_how_to_warm_up_new_tires/viewall.html Knoche says that the days of using mold release compounds on the...

Congrats on a lovely new bike in the fastest color too!

I decided to not include that I'm an organ donor, since I don't want them getting any ideas. I hadn't thought about the dog tag style, may need to revisit that. The wristband works better for running and cycling, but on the motorbike... dog tags may be best.

You'll find lots of opinions here on the PR2 and PR3s, but what I've seen is that in general the PR2 may get a bit longer life and the PR3 has better rain handling - both due to the PR3 having more grooves. I've ordered PR3's for my next pair since I live in Seattle and the next 9 months'...

I loaded it up like a pack mule with 1150GS and DR accessories that I've sold and now need to ship.

On my wife's, I put a drug allergy and year of birth. I have no allergies but also put my blood type.

Love it. When I get messages from my 17yo niece, it gives me a headache unpacking her txt speak into fully spelled out words.

I'm resurrecting a Zombie thread. Ordered two of these today, one for my wife and one for me. Between riding the motorcycle, road bicycle and mountain bike, trail running, and generally being a klutz, I want to give first responders as much ammo as possible to patch me up :) We both chose...

I passed 60k last week and didn't notice it at the time. 54k by its first owner, and the last 6k are mine.

I'm a month and 6k miles into riding my 08, and the biggest problem with it is it sucks down dollars. There's too healthy an aftermarket for goodies for these bikes, and this forum's Classifieds section and the super helpful regional riders groups are toxic to the pocketbook. The second...

Thanks! However my wife and I were doing the RSVP (Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party) bike ride this weekend. Tired :)

I'll take the calsci screen. Sending Pm.

Thank you! I'll take you up on that, at the tech. meet or perhaps before.

I've been busy today! First I ptu together a list of goodies I want to order or things to do to the bike so I can prioritize and budget. Then: 1. Confirmed that I have an N104 on the way. 2. Ordered Wild Bill highway pegs (longer, rubber top) and mounts, to be sent off to Garauld and...

Yikes! Was he driving through a zoo?!?

Best wishes on full recoveries for both our riders and their bikes.

Wow, fantastic photos and report too. Thanks!

Happy road trip!
