    KTM in my future?

    Hey D, You mean you want to buy one of these......... I'm here to tell you it's a great bike. You should get one! Why not?? :P

    My Perfect Dual Sport bike

    That's a big dream you have there D. :D However I have found something close. I now own a KTM 690 R. It's 4 stroke, it has around 4K oil changes, weighs in at 350Lbs and still will haul ***. IMO You won't find anything better for its cc to weight ratio!! :yahoo:

    Let's do a Group Ride of Costa Rica in 2012 with MotoDiscovery.

    Isn't that the way it usually is with those folks from that weird country up north!! :unsure:

    Let's do a Group Ride of Costa Rica in 2012 with MotoDiscovery.

    O.K so who plans to take their wife, partner or whatever it's called this year? Since I can't take my own bike, I guess it really won't matter if the trails are challenging or not and just maybe it will be nice for once on my part to take the wife on a trip like this. :o

    Advanced MSF Course ?

    Sorry, a little late posting, :o You may want to consider the ARC-ST over the ERC. The ERC is good as a basic refresher or as a good license waiver course for an experience rider. However IMO MSF's ARC-ST will give you some training on different techniques to handle corners and will also...

    Crazy idea, trade FJR with DL 1000?

    I think the air in Mexico did it to me!! Made me go all orange :unsure: Besides I need to practice on something lighter, so I can stay up with Scott!!! :D

    Crazy idea, trade FJR with DL 1000?

    Thanks Mr Bill!! Those tires look as new as mine! Did you just get her? I only had mine over a week and have already spent way too much money on farkles. :dribble: Ndvita, Congrats on your DL purchase!!! :clapping:

    Crazy idea, trade FJR with DL 1000?

    Ok so I kind of did the same thing!! :yahoo: I been riding 20 years street but just started doing this DS thing about 2 years ago by purchasing my Big 'o' Gurl (KTM 990 ADV). This is my first so called dirt bike that I have every own. :lol: Little did I know at the time buying this that...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    The ABS without a doubt is a great tool to have on wet pavement. However if you ride your ST off road a lot you will most likely want this switch to be able to disable the ABS. I have a switch even though my 990 has a PIA OEM routine to shut the ABS off. The reason its a hassle because it takes...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    Unless she's strictly going to be a street bike/garage queen :o I wouldn't waste hard earn money and or time painting it. If you must at least wait until you get a few scratches on her first.

    The ST is Dead

    I relate. Since owning the 990 for over 2 years I now get bored quick riding the FJR. IMO the KTM just handles hell of lot better then the FJR. However you can't beat the FJR on those long rides slabbing it, just set the cruise and she will go for miles and miles. :)

    CyclePort Gear modifications

    Good mods!! I wish I would of thought of a few them when I sent my gear back previous this year. :unsure: My mesh gear was fraying in a lot of places also the velcro was seperating from the pockets. This was all repair for a min cost. I really can't complain, I have 3+ years of pretty hard DS...

    Yamaha Super Tenere 1200

    Don, You're also welcome to stay at my house on the way there or back. I'm not sure the route you plan to take, but I'm not far from I-75 on the South side of ATL. Also we could take that Yamma pig up in GA mountains and see if it can hang with the "Big Gurl" :)

    I hate to see that crazy! :dribble: Damn, You know I don't know where hell my Air Force OD duffel bag went too. :unsure: Well my Gurl has new shoes on, an oil change and is sitting on the back of the truck ready to leave tomorrow. :yahoo:

    That's right Papa Chuy, there's no way I can pass up a deal like that. :yahoo: Damn just think in AR that would buy you a truck load of beer!! :D Besides the Big 'o' gurl is going to want to stretch her legs wheels after being in back of truck for so long. ;)

    Quick question... Do we need to bring our original bike titles or just a copy?

    Thanks Joe. I really appreciate the offer. I forgot to mention that my plans have changed again. My wife wasn't able to get the round trip buddy pass to Tucson as we thought. I'm now back to taking the truck again, just so that I can to drive the Son/Wife back home from Rio Rico. Which is...
