    I Need New Boots

    I believe when I was riding Death Valley last month I seen Russperry had a pair of black Outlander GTX boots. I asked him about them and he said he was very happy with them, they were very comfy, and loved the BOA lacing system, I really liked the looks of them and would love to try a pair but...

    SFO 2019 - Official Thread - October 24th thru 27th

    End of October? Hmmmm, I guess I'm out of excuses for missing this one. Placing the dates in the planning matrix. Edited: I just remembered I live in North Dakota. There may be two feet of snow by the end of October necessitating hauling the bike at least part way.

    Hey, I was just kidding. There was no need for an apology but as long as we're all apologizing, I'm sorry about calling you the new guy when you've been around for a few years.

    Dude! Your a new guy, on the forum, you find a deal like that and you don't share after you have yours purchased of course? You also got me searching and found a pair at Rocky Mountain ATV MC for under $239.00 with tax. I'm not a Bridgestone fan but for under $180.00 for a pair of...

    2020 Tenere 700 Coming to Canada

    These facts are why I chose my Beta 500 RR-S even though I would prefer to stick with Yamaha. WR service intervals were 600 miles for oil and valve check and it doesn't come street legal, KTM 500 EXC was 15 hours, and the Beta was 30 hours. Of course every where you look they say these service...

    LOW mile '14 ES - Not mine, but cheap. $7k

    I think those oversized mirror covers are wind guards and were OEM Yamaha accessories. I believe I remember hearing they could be purchased in Europe or Canada from Yamaha and that they were pretty efficient at blocking wind from your hands.

    For Sale on AdvRider - FJR Two Brothers Carbon Fiber Cans $300

    Sound level and tone are a subjective subject but I haven't heard any slip-ons that have a better sound than Two Brothers. These appear to have a DB reducer mounted on them so they shouldn't be too loud. I wish I wouldn't have waited until my fourth FJR before buying them. The only thing I've...

    Death Valley January 19

    Thanks for the Video Russ! Its too bad you lowered your camera just in time for the good part. That was about my most spectacular 0 mph tip over I've ever accomplished. My ambitions definitely exceeded my talent trying to ride the Beta up that nasty rock step water fall. That rock step...

    Death Valley Dualsport or Street ride January 23-27

    I'm getting off the fence, and heading to California! Throwing my **** in a bag, the bike in the pickup and I'll be out of here tomorrow, hopefully before noon. I must miss the adrenalin and stress of being a fireman waiting till the last minute like this. I'll see you hosers Wednesday.

    What should I use to glue on a CF stator cover?

    I just bought a pair of case saver plates for my DRZ 400 and it came with Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive & Sealant. I used JB Weld on my XR650L plates but I'm thinking the clear silicone will be much easier.

    Death Valley Dualsport or Street ride January 23-27

    John, you didn't fail, I just stumbled a little. The job didn't work out ( interfered with my life, motorcycle school and riding schedule, and they thought I should come to work 5 days a week WTF? ), so I'm in the planning stage to make this event, a Moab ride with other midwesterners in...
