DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Heat wave AND sweltering humidity. Yay

IIRC, These are 7/8" bars? What is the bolt spacing? Wonder if a clamp off something else would work. I could check the XR and TTR. I think I have some old 1" tall bar risers I could check the top clamps for too. Ohhh, those were generic. Very likely you could use those complete (if just the tops do...

My googlefu is strong sometimes

Hrmmm. The Zumo550 I have doesn't have KY/TN maps loaded. Need to figure that out... Loaded the gpx file into OSMAnd on the phone so will have that at a minimum.

^ Haha. SJ, I sent you a PM w/ my email for the gpx tracks I am gonna head out Saturday at 0700. That should put me in Matewan by ~1530. I'm going to try to get out early Sat too. Leave @ 0800 should put me there at the same time as you. Going to try the southern 81/64 route this time (vs 68/79 last...

Remember we are in hotels every night. ...Btw, everyone's made their reservations and/or found their hotel buddy, right? :) I have reservations but no buddy.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I've also found it interesting that KTM is brand-labeling StayCycs which is now owned by Harley.

oh shit, that bad? I have a lifestraw and SteriPen. Should I pack one? I've not had wet feet problems riding - haven't done it enough yet obviouslly. But any waterproof clothing, even one that breathes like Goretex, you will still get wet from your own sweat. For moisture to move across the barrier,...

Agreed, neat article but I don't hold out much hope for what I'd be interested in. It will prob be an up-scaled 390 Adv which is already at 380#+ wet. (Which is already more than the 690 enduro R.) No thanks. No doubt it will still sell well though.
