DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

You can't push amperage, only draw it. The "no jumping bikes from cars" thing was started from older HD's regulators. They couldn't take the stress of 14.8 volts (from a running car) with a drained battery. Sitting still they wouldn't disapate the heat and would fry. I've always jumped my ...

My R1200GS could go ANYWHERE a 650 could go, and most places a 450 would go. It might take more effort, and thankfully I was younger, but it made it. It was no fun, compared to a 950SE, and that's no fun compared to my TW200. But I loved the challenge. That said, the pro's will ride the R12GS like a...

My though watching him pull himself up that tow strap was what happens when the magnesium engine case (the side stand mounting point) cracks and that bike comes down him?

Otherwise, really cool!

Picked the TW up this weekend. Got it started Saturday afternoon on Carb cleaner, but it makes a loud noise on the left side, in time with RPM/2, that sounds like it could be two parts hitting each other. It's not an interference engine, but it's definitely not just a carb issue. Ordered gaskets and...

Spent a few hours last night getting the crazy twin carb XT dialed in. A 1 banger with a CV carb and a second vacuum carb attached to the side of it and no vacuum ports - no wonder the idle is impossible to get dialed in. The bike's got some pull - but I can't imagine the TW being any less fun. Star...

I have the 950SE - which may or may not stick around. I just can't see tossing that big expensive bike at RallyMoto. I'm looking at a BMW ST or RT to replace it so I can start riding to work again (100+ mile round trip), then a small dirt bike for racing. I picked the XT up for pennies.

I was purusing CL and found a guy with a 2003 TW200 that won't start looking to trade for $1000 or another bike. I have the Xt350 project in my garage (runs, everything is ok), emailed him, and he's down to trade. So, what say the board? 1987 XT350 for a 2003 TW200 that won't start a fair trade? If ...

Save me the effort of cleaning/photographing/documenting it - PM me your phone number (or call) if you're interested - I'll meet you with the bike so you can go over it in person. It's a great bike, only 8.5k miles on the clock, no scratches/damage, plenty of goodies, mostly street riden. It's too m...

WTF did that dude come from?

I should be in! My wife and I picked up a 20' cuddy cabin this summer - the KTM is going on the block shortly. We've overnighted on it a few times lots of fun!

She's gotta work on the 17th, but gets off by 4pm.
