DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

keeps taking money

Is the hub OEM? I believe there's a couple brands of hubs out there that use their own bearings slightly different than OEM, which would also have different spacers. Perhaps you have a mix of OEM and non-OEM parts without knowing it, or maybe the bearings you had put on were the wrong ones.

Chris is a big bad cruiser boy now

did you look at a parts diagram yet?

I'm glad I don't have the money for them because that's my size

If I make it, I suspect I'll do dirt helmet (ECE only...anyone got a Harley DOT sticker?), dirt pants, and pressure suit with probably a cheap mesh riding jacket over it or maybe just a cheap mesh jacket with armor. I'd probably leave the knee guards at home, but I might invest in gore-tex socks sin...

I'd like to do this. Given the choice between the V-Strom or the KTM 450, the 450 is the right tool for that trip. It all depends on money/timing for me. I'll definitely need a bigger fuel tank for this and probably one of those giant loop thingies. Can we skip that motel where they make meth, leave...

What part of June?

Cove or Taskers, Monday or Tuesday?
