Re: Tue 2/26: I-435 Loop Ride

Sorry for the late follow-up. Kendall, you missed a good one for sure. Thanks to all the riders who made it out yesterday! What a great ride and fun time had by all! It was the perfect mix of super slab and multi-lane highways with just enough traffic to keep things interesting. We'll have to do it ...

Re: Liability insurance

Until very recently, I never owned a purely off-road bike. For my off-road only 1999 300 EXC that is worth only $1500, I do not have any insurance. For my street legal 2007 KTM EXC 450 and 2012 KTM EXC 350, I have basic liability so I'm legal plus theft coverage. So I'm legal and if someone steals i...

Tue 2/26: I-435 Loop Ride

I know many of you are off work today with the snow. So let's go for a ride! I'm thinking we can meet at the QT near World's of Fun about 11:00. Then we'll ride the I-435 loop. After one loop, if we want more excitement, we can do a 2nd loop. There are a lot of McDonalds along I-435 so finding lunch...

Re: Big Dog Ride 2013

I'm not interested in riding my F800GS on mountain singletrack with deadly ledges. If that makes me a girly-man, so be it. :oops: I'm sure they have plenty of alternative routes for the worst parts, but they say to "expect" to be on ledges like that. Also, backed with my experience riding 1 week out...

Re: February 12, 2013 get together

It was very interesting. Mark Bayer, self-proclaimed motorcycle historian, presented a lot of his research into the very beginnings of motorcycles, the rise of the US motorcycle, reasons for their success and failures, opinions regarding which manufacturers and countries have been most influential f...

Re: ACCIDENT SCENE MANAGEMENT COURSE - Feb. 23-24

Now Sat Feb 23 conflicts with an important event I plan to attend that evening. I'd have to leave the training to head home about 3:30. Not sure I want to pay the fee and drive up there if I can't complete the class. :cry:

Re: Top Box Mounting ?

I echo Andy with perhaps more emphasis. If those strips are thicker, I would definitely want to modify so that you mount in those reinforced areas.

Re: ACCIDENT SCENE MANAGEMENT COURSE - Feb. 23-24

This training sounds essential. As of right now, my plan is to attend both classes.

Re: Possible Moto-hooky Tuesday January 29th?

Of course, my buddies on their XR650 and KTM 625 with knobby tires just kept their normal pace through it all and had to wait up for me at the end. That sounds familiar. Man we got tired of waiting for you to catch up on that TARKC Arkansas ride. HAHAHAHAHA! (I tried to wick it up and lose Kendall ...

Andy? We hadn't heard from you in so long I figured the abuse out in the Mark Twain scarred you for life! Cold winter months are a good time to slack on moto stuff I guess. 8)
