Hey All, Looking to sell my Helimot 1-Piece suit. Built for a tall and skinny rider 6'0" to 6'2" tall 160-165 lbs. A little bit of road rash from a crash. No busted stiches. Perforated leather, no speed hump, knee pucks included. It's saved my bacon and now it is time for it to save...

SOLD Selling my Yamaha YZ250F Supermoto build. It's running a full kit from Motostrano. Registration is current, but it has been sitting for a spell and probably needs a carb rebuild to get running. I only did one or two track days with it in Supermoto form. Less than 3 hours on chain...

Hey all, I converted a DR650 to a SM. For most dirt race sag is about 33% of travel and for most street race sag is about 25% of travel. Are you guys setting up your SM race sag in between the two? Like 29% of travel? As compared to the original setting for a dual sport what is better for a...

This weekend, my friend Rupert died in a solo motorcycle accident on Highway 24 near the 13 interchange. He was not a Barfer, but he was a rider. What little is covered in the news does not make sense to me. He was an experienced and cautious rider and the article sounds like he up and veered...

Did Alpinestars stop making their Tech 7 SMs? Did Oxtar stop making their velcro soled boots? What are you all doing for boots?

Anyone know if the primitive camp sites on South Coast Ridge Rd have fire rings? -Mark

Hey all, I'm looking for ways to extract a snapped rear sprocket bolt from the hub of the wheel. It's a factory bolt that had never been unscrewed. 2007 DR200. I guess they paint those with some serious loctite. Should I try hitting with my mini torch to melt the loctite before using...

I'm just about to drop $2K on a 2007 TW200 just to find out it's an Alabama bike. I can see no emissions sticker claiming its a 50-state bike and it has less than 7500 mi. The shop is saying it should be no problem to get a Cal plate on it. They are saying it is exempt from inspection so I can...
