I’ve had this bike since 2012 and have not put many hours on it since 2015 when I installed the factory dual sport kit. It is geared short for tight woods riding and I ran it mostly at Hollister, Metcalf and Penny Pines. I hauled it around the country with me in my Funmover and rode it in...

Anyone else stoked about this? Jonah Street, a privateer running with Rally PanAM out of Scuderia West is SECOND OVERALL in El Dakaro! Follow on at http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=417706 Jonah is #26, because that's where he finished at the last Dakar, in Africa, in 2007. His...

Hey, So my new to me 525 is sitting chained to a post while I fart around on my Honda. I've got my 17" wheels mounted and rode to work Monday, but now have a "where to spend the next check" quandry. The stock knobs are wasted, and I need another set of DOT rubber. I plan on riding a variety of...

Hey dirtybarf. I haven't been much of a Barfer of late, but I have a new dirtbike and I'm ready to play. Saturday, I drove to San Diego (Thanks for the van loan, Slydrite!) and picked up an '07 KTM 525 EXC. I'm super stoked. As you might imagine. I got this bike because it can do anything I...

Hey all, Did a little search and don't think this is a repost. Some of you might know the site ADVrider.com They have riders posting reports from rides as mundane as weekend trips down the coast to around the world epics. Recently, a group of guys from South Africa rode through Angola, and...

Go, baby.

Ow.

2001 Duke II, 4800 miles. (FrankenDuke) Even with the lever pulled to the bar, the clutch does not release completely. It drags enough to make the bike want to creep at idle if you don't hold the brake. Used to be, this only happened when stone cold, and went away when it warmed up. Lately, it...

Yeah baby. No more slidesville while simply leaving the driveway. I can give it more than 10% throttle without spinning it up! Damn. Simple pleasures. :shhh

Yep. Not sure what to think about that. Except that I was under a black light looking for cracks in Maserati Birdcage parts all day. So, cracks are bad, M'kay? (my new job kicks ass.)

I've read recently that water wetter, that nice product that replaces slippery glycol coolant and also brings down temperatures... well, I've read that it both eats radiators and might harm the good sheep and fishes that make our environment such a wonderful place to live. What I want to know...

I FINALLY (!) won an ebay auction for a pair of Duke forks and should have them from England in a couple of weeks. Woo hoo! Finally, I can toss the Yamaha front end. Now all I need is a wheel, a rotor, and a set of tires. :teeth :teeth :teeth No more embarrasing questions from passersby...

So I'm reading the paper and there is a story about a soldier losing his case against the government, where he said that he signed a contract for a specified period and "stop loss" is only apliccable during war declared by congress. He lost, because we are supposedly "at war". Oh yeah, we are...
