Luc on his new 1190

Some of you may know that Luc picked up an 1190. I caught his first ride on video. Here you go...

(OK, so that's really Chris Birch. If my F800GS ever dies, that 1190 is at the top of my list.)

Re: Sunday April 13: Perry Lake Work Day!

Myself and a few others are in. I'll be able to bring a utv with a dump bed and a sprayer attachment if it's needed. Thanks! To get you a good reply, I asked Reese with the Corps. The response is that we might hold off on spraying that day. It might be better to do that when there aren't lots of pe...

LOL!!! That's it, race is on.... Excellent. With the "ecoboost" engine, every time I step on the accelerator, Ford plants a tree. So I can beat you while saving the planet.

Re: WUDI xvl 2014

Troy as of now my buddy and I plan on leaving Wed after work. Of course that could change depending on the weather. If it does I will post back. I looked at the V6 Fords when I bought my new truck but ended up buying the 5.3l Chevy crew cab instead. It actually says it got one MPG better than the F...

Too bad you weren't ready for a new F-150 when I sold my 2010- I would have given you the Rideforum discount! :lol: As I recall, your truck was extended cab--not SuperCrew, which is what I wanted. I actually did consider your truck since I had tossed around the idea of upgrading my truck for about ...

Re: WUDI xvl 2014

WUDI is close! I'm wondering about logistics and possible carpool opportunities? Who all is going to WUDI? A quick scan of the spodelist suggests that Randy & son, Kramer are going. Also Stimmer & buddy. Kyle (my brother) & Luc are coming from Manhattan. Kyle has room for me in his truck/trailer, b...

Re: Post pics or video from your ride today

I noticed those pivot wheelie turns, too. Looks like you been working on skeelz. 8) I tried to do one of those once in a spot where if I did not do a clean 180, things would go bad. Well...things went bad! I need to work on it some more. 8)

Re: Oakland Conditions?

Too bad they are going to shrink it... As I understand, the area they are trying to educate riders to avoid was never a legal part of the riding area. It's always been a trespassing situation, and a point of contention that threatens the life of the entire riding area. I have not been staying on to...
