    Just my IMO but I think you will really like the maintenance required for 690 as compared to the 500. Also consider it's good feeling to be able to run the 690 all day long at 65 MPH on the pavement without being concern with running the engine too hard.. However I definitely see the advantage...

    Jim, I just order a case of those ear plugs you suggested. They're selling on Amazon for $29 for 200. Good plugs!

    Made it back safety on Friday with a grand total of 3702 miles. As much as I hate to admit it my Renzaco seat is not worth a crap on anything over 200 miles!! My arse has never been so sore. Jim those green ear plugs work great!! I been real happy with the KTM, she ran great with no problems.

    Haircut!! You're getting crazy! I'm mounting a Kenda Big Block front tire this weekend and the beast will be ready to go. I'm heading out next Saturday morning and taking my time getting to TX. The 10 day weather so far looks good down to TX.

    Jim, Don't forget you will need at least one CC (not a visa/mastercard debit card) which is required to secure your vehicle bond at the Mexico border. This will be refunded back to your CC when we cross back. I just downloaded a Currency converter app and fired up the Google Spanish...

    Make sure to notify your bank that you will be in Mexico. It's usually a red flag for them when they see an out of country transactions.

    Man it's cold here in ATL. Damn it this the South, those Canucks need to stop sending us all that cold crap! How are you all going to exchange money? Wasn't the ATM the best way to go or am I thinking of when I'm in England???

    Cool, I'm not trying make this a big deal, I just never had to do this before. The bank that has the KTM loan is FreedomRoad Financial. I'm not even sure it's an actual bank. :)

    Mother of All Mexico Dirt Bike Rides - March in 2015!

    I received the info too. Unfortunately I have a loan on the KTM. So that now means I have go through a bunch of hoops in an attempt to get a letter from the bank stating it's alright for me to take my bike to Mexico. Why in the world would Mexico care if I have a lien on this bike? Especially...
