DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Good points. If you're already tearing it down to the piston, now is the time to put in that tall 5th gear. But before you go that far (piston/rings), why not do a leak down test first? Used motor could be perfectly fine as is. True. I can see some seepage around the base gasket, though, and if I k...

So I have a new (to me) engine in the mail. Since the engine will be o...

What I like about riding with people with Rekluses so much is that I now slip my clutch so much more than I ever did previously, and it's really helped my riding (or so I think?). I figure if Sam can keep it in fourth gear all the time and just let the Rekluse do its thing, I can feel free to slip t...

I can use them but if someone gets to them first, by all means take them.

Day 1 Starts at Thurmont MD @Sheetz on 15 (12ish miles north of Frederick) First part of Day 1 ends south of Carlisle in Mt. Holly Springs (North end of Michaux) Second part of Day 1, we head out to the west and south through Tuscarora and Buchanan SF onto Flintstone for the night. Day 2 Flintstone...

Looks amazing!

Am I reading this correctly that it essentially starts a little south of Carlisle, PA, spends a night in Flintstone, MD (via Sheetz...?), then ends at Frederick, MD?


Thanks,
