DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Great job! I hope you got some laps in before it got dark. It would be nice to get at least some familiarity with the course before trying to figure it out when you can't see it!

I'll be wearing what I wore last time -- dirt bike gear. My gear includes hard armor on all the contact points, including a zip-up armored mesh under my jersey, so I think if I were to have an unfortunate (single vehicle) incident on the pavement I would be "okay" but I have no delusions about how w...

BTW, I ordered some waterproof socks that should be arriving tomorrow. I'm hoping to avoid the "warm water immersion foot" that everyone had last time. I'll let people know how they are. Maybe I can get up to FRO to give them a good test ride before then.

If you notice the dent in the middle, it's because something was resting against it and it will go away and be like new again in a day or so. There is no tear or damage. And actually, in the ...

Having a cush drive is huge on a supermoto. I'd have to look, but I'm not sure the stock DRZ400SM even comes with a cush drive. ~Patrick It doesn't. Why do you think it'd be beneficial? Asking as a guy that has never owned a bike with cush drive and hardly any time riding one. The cush drive smooth...
