I'm still waiting to hear where he's planning to go on Sat. If I can get our family schedule to jive, and the route sounds fun, me and a bikeless bud are going. Hey, Savage, I hope you can make it. As for the route specifics, I'm not sure what you are waiting for unless you want a full route file, ...

Should I be concerned that nobody replied to the post above?

I enjoyed reading that old backroadstouring.org ride report from 2003. Proof that my friend Sean used to ride a KLR, and on KS gravel roads. :) Dean, that was enjoyable ride we had up to White Cloud. It started as me just wanting to go see Troy, KS since my name is Troy. The whole town acted like th...

As a boy from the farm myself, I had to agree with this comment: Rural folks are generally rural because they don't want to be near the city folk. When city folk go rural, they generally bring all of their city folk crap with them. Additionally, who's going to pay for all the insurance required to k...

My 99 DR350 got to the point it was terribly difficult to get into neutral and was hard to shift in and out of any gear. I performed an operation that some have called "clearance the clutch basket". That does not exactly roll off the tongue, but it is what Safiri describes. I pulled the clutch plate...

I don't care who you are....thats FUNNY! :lol: Funny?! I thought it was stupid and mean. I trusted Eddie not to tell anyone about that night we shared. Now he posts photos of the outfit I wore--the outfit HE BOUGHT FOR ME. It's over, Eddie. I mean it this time. OVER. Tell Steve he can come get his ...

I like over-the-boot pants for the trail riding I do. I've done the in-the-boot motocross pant thing, and frankly, I don't like looking like I'm motocrossing when I'm out for a trail-ride and walk into the burger shack for lunch. (I'm all about fashion you know.) :lol: I also appreciate pants that d...

Although I have a 2008 TE 450 to sell, I'll be honest here--as I am with all prospective buyers. Consider also that opinions are a dime a dozen and everybody's got one. My personal Husqvarna experience is based on riding Daryl's 2005 TE 510 and my 2008 TE 450 that I purchased new in March 2008 and i...

It's true.

All, There has been an issue that has prevented pretty much everyone but me from getting emails sent by the forum. These include new user welcome messages, PM notifications, and subscribed thread post notifications. SORRY it took me so long to realize there was a real problem and not just a few peop...

Long story short, I'm just not having as much fun racing enduro as I do trail riding with friends so I'm done with racing. It's so much faster than I am comfortable with. I can get through everything on the course but I'm not competitive and don't really have the desire to be that fast. I've never ...

Great to hear from you slim! Thanks for the report. Go read our Shane Watts Dirtwise report and you'll see how tired we were--and we only rode a small amount of miles during those 2 days. Like you, though, I found that because of the gnarly trail riding we do in AR, while I may not be the fastest ri...

...But be aware it is a physically demanding class! I'm still sore... Oh man am I sore. Yesterday, just lifting my legs from a sitting position was painful. Not just sore--painful. My left shoulder is aching in ways I've not experienced before. I still feel exhausted. No injuries, no accidents--jus...

Thanks for 3 options, guys! I've not had the wheel repaired yet. I called Hayden's Wichita option and Safiri's KC option. I looked at the website for xr-nut's option. xr-nut's option looks to be the best, but looks to cost well over $100 plus shipping. (Cheaper than a new wheel of course.) They also...

KC wrote:...I like this idea...when you guys are ready we can meet at School Creek for a day of practice! The high open area at the begining of the West side would be a perfect place I think.

Agreed.

When is the Shane Watts Jr. (Troy) clinic to pass on what you learned? That would be almost feasible because what he taught were simple, little things. There were just so many of them, and when you learn to make them habit and put them all together, you will have greater bike control and thus a hig...

I'm wiped! Class was excellent! Shane is a very good teacher. I'll post up some photos and perhaps videos soon.
