Two pairs of goretex riding boots, great for winter. I think the Pumas are the Desmo GTX, they were given to me by a friend, they didn't fit him. They don't fit the kind of riding I do, so they've been worn for maybe two very short rides. They look like a nice boot, though the waterproof...

I just moved, and realized that it's time to sell off a bit of gear I'm never going to use again, rather than find new places to store it. First: Texport one piece leather suit with nice armor. One hole at the right shoulder, scuffs in other places, size 54. Not quite sure how sizing works on...

What's the word? I don't see a thread, this thing barely happened last year, what are the chances this year? zak

Prologue: Ever since I started really riding- 5 years ago or so, when I started riding up to washington state (and my hometown) every year, and other long-ish rides, I've been scheming with a longtime friend about riding to alaska. Ok, it wasn't actually scheming, it was fantasy. We'd see each...

This is meant to be a general purpose adventure riding thread, a repository of random photos of rides not worthy of elaborate reports, a place to mention great rides that you didn't take any good pictures of, a place to get advice or give advice about camping, road conditions, gear, etc, and (if...

Here's my puny little contribution to the adventure riding section. I took advantage of another incredible weekend day yesterday (saturday) and set out north to find a bit of dirt and plenty of twisty roads, and to hopefully not get hit from behind by a semi, as I buzzed along at 60 mph with a...

Older Arai MXC-Pro helmet (build date 08/01) in fair condition for an extra/backup dirt helmet, or parts or whatever. I say that because of it's age, it doesn't show signs of any really hard hits. Liner is in good condition, not falling apart or anything like that, and just washed. This...

Here's some parts that have been sitting around the garage since I sold my DRZ. Most of these were on a DRZ-400S for a couple thousand miles, nothing's new. Edit: Everything's sold, except for the White Bros. exhaust. Thanks everyone! First: clear Clarke tank (4 gallon), no petcock. $125...

Just heard (from the bicyclists) that The Junction (del puerto/mines road) is closing it's doors. I didn't always stop there, but it's sad nonetheless. Bad times for small businesses, I guess. zak

I couldn't pass it up. Somethin's wrong in the engine- the piston hits the sparkplug, nobody knows anything else. Otherwise a decent 640e, 16k miles, two sets of wheels, bill mayer seat, for a grand. I suspect that the main bearing behind the clutch basket has disintegrated, or the conrod...

These are a few photos of a recent trip I took. It all started with my dad- he rode his old bmw down to california to visit friends and family, and I figured I'd ride back up to washington (where he lives) with him, and keep going from there. After all, I thought, I've only had my motorcycle...

Cross posted from another forum, since I figured this is a good day ride for most of the people looking at this forum. Last Sunday I decided to head up north and do a big loop of some favorite roads, all together. I started about 7 AM, slabbed up 5 to Red Bluff, and from there on out, it was...

Followed a cool little orange roadster, apparently one off, with vanity plate "XPRMNTL" this morning on the way to work. We had a good time flying up the top of Marin ave, then along Grizzly peak > golf course road > Grizzly peak. He was a good driver, too- fast, smooth, in control. Stayed in...
