    Mystery clunk from the front, while bike is parked

    2008 DR650. I've heard on more than one occasion a clunk from the front of the bike, after I've parked it, it can be hours after a ride. Almost sounds like a spring unloading and hitting it's top. I'm baffled, no clunk while riding, no apparent stiction, fork legs under the boots are clean...

    Looking for a video or help with my failing memory

    What I remember: Ianonne crashes and sends his bike sliding down the track, like 4 bike lengths and takes out Dovi, straight up torpedoed. Both on factory Ducati. All I'm finding is when he tucked the front and took out Dovi in Argentina. I'm now starting to think, maybe I have the players...

    Bell MX-9 adventure helmet input

    It's time for new lid and I'm looking for input on the MX-9 adv helmet. Having poked around the internet it seems like it might fit a somewhat long oval head, if it fits anything like the Bell Star, than that's great. How's the noise/ventilation? Any gripes? Thanks in advance.

    Duke 790 vs Svartpilen 701 owner input?

    A good friend of mine is in the market for a new bike, so I went window shopping with him yesterday and I realized I didn't really have a lot of input.

    Found myself in the middle of nowhere with a sudden flat, I decided my best course of action was to ride back to where I had cell service, which was about 10 miles or so. Tire is a Shinko 244 dual sport tire. The prudent part of me says chuck the tire, sidewall compromise and all that, but...
