I'm posting this in Ride because I'm suggesting folks make a ride out of heading up to see the Mid-America Trials Team Quarry Cup competition. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to, but we'll see. If you've never watched a trials competition, GO DO IT! It's really amazing to watch and the eve...

In my planning for a family trip, I stumbled upon this: See the real “easy riders” this fall at the Massey, Crystal Bridges’ temporary gallery in downtown Bentonville. Danny Lyon: The Bikeriders presents photographs and excerpts from Danny Lyon’s 1968 book The Bikeriders, a seminal work of modern ph...

Watch this guy do wheelies on the F800GS and use the top case as a stop against the pavement. Wow.

So, Daryl, I expect to see a show next time you are on your F800GS!

I have to agree with Mike. I've ridden: BMW 1200GS Adventure BMW F800GS BMW F650GS KTM 950 DL650 (Vstrom, my personal bike) By far, the #1 bike in that list that I'm lusting is the F800. I would not hesitate to ride it to the ends of the earth. So although I like what I see in the Tenere, I do not i...

In mid-2011, Yamaha plans to sell their "2012" Super Tenere in the USA. This is a bike I've lusted at while reading foreign ride reports. However, after looking at the specs and the almost $14K price tag, why would I want a Super Tenere over a BMW F800GS? http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/m...

Cool, David. In some respects, the DL1000 and the Goldwing are similar machines. But then the Goldwing takes everything to the extreme. I'm sure the wife and you will be much happier and comfy on the Goldwing for the long haul. What's the DL1000 worth? Post up in the classifieds when you have the de...

This Sunday, August 29th, we will be watching the Indianapolis round of the MotoGP motorcycle championship in style at Re:Verse bistro on the Country Club Plaza. (KCMO) They are kindly lending us use of their downstairs room with the big couches, leather seating and the 80" projection screen to wat...

I am setting up a new Windows computer at work and wanted to add a slick wallpaper to my desktop. In my search, I came across this motorcycle-related image that I thought I'd share here.

Working for a living, you thread hi-jacker.

Sounds great. I won't be able to make it.

Would an acceptable solution be to buy the "correct" battery? Every splice is a potential point of failure--a weak point. Of course it can be done, but what is the barrier to purchasing the OEM battery or compatible?

I made it a "sticky" for now.

Very cool Troy! Thanks! :D BTW, one of the ADV rockies inmates is getting ready to go to a shane watts school. I told her you might not mind answering a couple questions and posted a link to your watts thread. I'm actually wearing my "I survived DirtWise with Shane Watts" T-shirt right now. No prob...

Here are some pictures of my transmission swap a few years back: http://home.everestkc.net/malsin/Motorcycle/rfs/mxc_to_exc_project.htm I'm amazed every time I look at those photos. That was a much larger job than I think I could tackle unless I could sit down and focus on it 100% for a few days un...

I don't have the quote or reference handy, but I recall reading that KS law states "sittting" on the seat facing forward. So I do believe it is technically illegal to stand while riding on the road. A few years back, I rode in Wichita's Toys for Tots ride--thousands of bikes do the ride delivering t...

Has anybody heard anything about the arkansas fall color ride? I know that it is supposed to be a, "unofficial ride", but thought that maybe ride information would be posted somewhere by now. Is is usually the 3rd weekend in October? If you find an "unofficial" date, let me know and I'll add it to ...

No. I wish.
