DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Looks like I forgot to post about this. Registration for the Shenandoah 500 is open (closes on Sep 14th = SOON!) DS and ADV routes are available. Fingers crossed no hurricanes this year! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shenandoah-500-s500-dual-sport-2023-oct-7th-8th-registration-695729604977?aff=erele...

I have no idea of the skills that would be required to get over that hill, but... I think it would occur to me that doing the same thing everyone else is doing is going to probably yield the same result.

Bucho led us on a ride through there a few years ago and I was on my 1200GS on Dunlop Trailmax Misson tires (not at all an aggressive knobby) and I had no problem at all. I have no idea if we did anything like this October ride but I didn't see anything in there that I'd call technically challenging.

For anyone that might be interested, I put the full ride report up on ADVRider

I'm looking forward to finding out what my options are for some motorcycle therapy. Not sure if you al...

What is it with these guys and not using a 21" front?

I've done something like that before where I just didn't pay attention to what was in my cart. Related to chains and sprockets, I've been using RockyMountainATVMC.com. They've got all the right stuff that can be ordered in different lengths and have snappy shipping. That's very generous of you to pa...

I've tried a couple of different seats on my GS but always go back to the OEM. It's way more comfortable than the Seat Concepts I have on my WR250R or my kid's XT250. Full disclosure, I don't have a particularly discriminating tuchus and I'm been happy with the OEM seats on every bike I've own that ...

My daughter and I snuck off for a ride day yesterday. Just a few hours rambling down through some back roads along the Chesapeake for lunch and then back home the long way. No animals were harmed and no performance awards were, uh, awarded. High 70's, low humidity, perfect day. https://photos.smugmu...

I sometimes have trouble with my FI WR250R if it's sat all winter. Sea Foam in the tank and running the snot out of it for about 20-30 miles usually clears it. The symptom is usually hesitation off idle and it's never not started. Good luck with it. I'm wondering if the last time it got a good worko...
