I don't have that bag, but my personal experience says fault towards the larger bag if not sure.

I echo the welcome for DRZ Charlie of AdvRider Arkansas fame!

Charlie has been a resource and help for my Arkansas dualsport adventures. I've enjoyed reading his ride reports and seeing his pictures from Arkansas and beyond. Thanks, Charlie!

What a perfect moto-hooky day! Low wind, high temps, bit of rain to eliminate dust. Enjoy getting that big 990 out for a stretch, Kendall!

All I know is what I see on TV, but it sounds horrible to me. Then again, I'm about as anti-crowd as a person gets. I'd love to ride the area, but it definitely won't be during Sturgis.

Agreed. It's a really nice store with some good deals to be had. Rusty, the owner, is into dualsport, too. So he understands our needs.

On my drive into work this morning around 6:30 I was passed by what appeared to be a motorcycle policeman. Could have been a funeral traffic control bike I suppose. License plate looked official, though. It was 14 degrees. It was dark so I'm not sure, but I think he was even wearing one of those 3/4...

Great ride!

Thanks for this comparison, Eddie!

That photo of me reddof posted is OBVIOUSLY Photoshopped.

Actually, it's the exact same way I fell over this past weekend! Just trying to be cool and do a very slow, really tight turn...and plop. Idiot. Where is Ryan when you need him?!

What?! I call BS! Show me a photo to prove it! No photo = did NOT happen. (Ryan, thanks for the quick pick up! Eddie needs to work on his camera fast-draw!)

Yup! Eddie and I both made it home just after noon today. We had a short ride up from his cabin near Blue Mound, KS. It was sunny and 31 degrees when we put the kickstands up at his cabin. It was 21.3 and overcast when I put the kickstand down in my driveway. Except for a handful of miles, it was al...

This is not a concern since we would simply leave you for dead. It's every man for himself. We roll hard-core.

Got my used, out-of-state KTM 350 inspected by the KS vehicle inspection station today. Was a close one as they could not read the official sticker because it was too worn (after only 20 hours?!). They had to "call it in", and lucky for me, I walked away with a clean inspection. Note that they did n...

Randy, is this your thread? Russellville to Mena good roads/trails Probably late in the game for Eddie's route planning, but do you have any must-do roads around Mena we should do? Kendall (and others) -- pretty sure Eddie is going to take us South to sunny skies. Only cold we'll endure should be th...

I have not. All sounds great.

Hank Moody said: I hate sand and avoid it at all costs. Troy and KC remember my crash at the sand dunes in Colorado Oh yes, I remember. How about I just post that video here?? :shock: YES! ..and you are right, KC. It does seem like the guy's legs come up to prepare for that crash way too soon. It d...

As is tradition for this winter ride, the plan may change completely! I just got off the phone with Eddie who is travelling right now. The forecast for the area we planned to ride is taking a downturn. However, the forecast for Arkansas & Oklahoma looks FANTASTIC--as in 50+ degrees and sunny the who...

And the catch 22 is that the only way to ride sand is to go really fast so you plane out on top.....but then if you do wreck at that speed, you are screwed.

So I opt for the slow, legs-flailing, struggle the whole way approach.

I was lurking around the posts and noticed the discussion of a spring riding weekend. One of the weekends suggested is April 19,20 & 21. I thought I'd share with everyone that CMA is hosting an Adventure Rally that weekend at Mack's Pines Campground...If you want me to send you a flyer for the even...

Detailed article about the 2013 Zero electric motorcycles. Looks like some major improvements such as major increase in power, major increase in range, super-fast charging time (with special charger option): http://cyclenews.coverleaf.com/cyclenews/20121127#pg31 I still think these bikes are WAY too...
