After having successfully ridden the GS on a dualsport route I'm familiar with, the day before, I wanted to push my comfort zone in an attempt to train for my Great Divide Adventure. I got a set of tracks from someone who knows someone who went on a ride ... :). Supposedly there is an abandoned...

I plan to ride my GS along the Continental Divide from Hachita New Mexico to Banff Canada this summer. I plan to ride my GS and essentially follow the CannonShot tracks off AdvRider, but follow GPS Kevin's day plan. I expect to take roughly 20 days to do this. I plan a mix of camping and...

I wish people would secure their loads. Dodged a bullet I suppose. Didn't see this in the carpool lane at dusk, but had enough time to weight the pegs. Caught a little air at 80mph. Fully expected a blow out or puncture but came away unscathed.

There's a nice little loop that starts between Auburn and Forrest Hill. This was my second time doing it and my first time using my new trailer. I'm looking for some other loops in the Foothills if anyone has any GPX tracks. It was a lot colder than expected but still fun. Had to go around a few...

My midlife crisis is your gain. I just purchased a 1250GS for my 50th, otherwise I would still be riding this baby every day. This bike is essentially free because I have invested about $5,000 in new parts and repairs on it within the past 14 months. I'm the second owner, bought her with 23k...

YOLO!!!! I was kind of looking forward to riding a bike past 100k miles, but decided the time was right to reward myself. I love this bike

Oh man this StonyBarf6 was awesome. It was great to see some of the Baja peeps again and to meet new people. Butch thanks for putting this on will def go to the next one. It was great chatting with you. Special thanks to Merlin, and Scott for help with the hills. Also, thanks for the...

Figured I'd start a thread. Not sure where this will go. I'm open to suggestions / constructive criticism. I wanted a bike to ride on the Barf Baja 2016 adventure and I wanted a Supermoto. Brilliant idea: buy a dual sport and convert it :). My dream would have been a new 690 Enduro R or maybe...

Did a few quick searches didn't find anything. Have a friend with a '98 yz250 (2 stroke) fuel supply issues could be carburetor? Tried PCP Yamaha said it's too old. Anyone know of any reasonable shop or mechanic near Sacramento that works on old dirtbikes? Also searched craigslist only one hit...

So my friend just bought a 30 year anniversary 1200gs in New Mexico. The plan, Another friend on his KTM 690 and I (1200gs) are going to ride there via exploring Anasazi ruins in Utah and NM. Then go to Roswell, Carlsbad Caverns, and Grand Canyon. Epic Road trip, mostly camping :). Hopefully not...

Does anyone know if the Chargers game will be televised ? esp Surewest Sacramento. It doesn't show on the TV listings. I already tried BARF search. Is this blacked out in this area?? I know it's showing on CBS in San Diego. Any info appreciated.

Does anyone know why Kawasaki is the only bike (as far as I can tell) that uses a 190/55/17 rear. I needed to replace my rear tire and after having a big rear slide getting on a freeway ramp with not cold tires decided to get PP's. No one has this tire in stock in any brand Pilot Powers...

Is something wrong with the site? I can watch video highlights but none of the full race videos will work for me. Ive tried netscape on a Mac Firefox on Mac and PC

So I was out riding today and downshifted to pass a car then my bike would not shift out of first gear I tried with and without the clutch. I parked it at a gas station and towed it home. After I get it home I start messing with it and viola I get it into neutral. I take it for a test drive and...

I think I would like to build a cafe style bike and would like to know why the CB750 seems to be the most popular choice? I've always been a Kawi guy. I wonder if the KZ650 would be as good or better than the CB750 it already has dual disc brakes and a dual overhead cam wouldn't it be quicker...
