Re: HUSKY Defectors take note!!!

Can I make my appointments through you? I would not expect an oil change, valves checks and adjusted and new tires including balancing would take more then a hour, do you? When can I get that free work done? You CAN make your appointments with Mike through me, but I charge a $39.95 convenience fee.

Where to repair alloy wheel?

A month ago or so, I slammed through a pothole on Hwy 69. Today, I rode the Vstrom to work and noticed a major dent in my front rim.

Where can I take the wheel for repair?

Re: HUSKY Defectors take note!!!

I was just on the phone with Hall's Cycle in Springfield, IL (Husqvarna dealer). They want to know how BIG of a suitcase do you have?! Would you mind bringing back a half container or so?

Re: Arkansas

Have a great time, Eddie! Make sure you hit Hwy 23 between 16 and at least 215. The "Pig Tail Trail". Then take 215 E to the Oark Store & Cafe. It's a dump, but it's CLASSIC motorcycle experience stuff. Hwy 21 is great fun too -- between 16 and Clarksville is the "town" Ozone. The Ozone Burger Barn ...

Bill Dragoo represents US in BMW's South Africa GS Trophy

All, I received this email from our friend, Bill Dragoo. For those of you who don't know, Bill is a journalist and photographer writing for motorcycle magazines. He also happens to be one of the best riders in the world. Several of us had the honor of riding with Bill in a 3 day Arkansas off-road ad...

Re: Moab Ride Slideshow

Looked like a awesome ride. The rocks look pretty intimidating but I guess you get used to it after a couple miles. Now the big question.... Does Troy buy a 450 or 400? Other than my stupid mistake and falling off a ledge, the riding we did was not all that difficult. There is gnarlier stuff out th...

It did great for Kyle, but it did not do so good for me! Did you see how it threw me off that ledge?! :lol:

Thanks for selling the bike to Kyle! I think he's got orange blood now.

Re: New Exhaust

Definitely funny and some of them sound accurate. I saw this similar video a while back. The guy does all kinds of motor sounds including motorcycles, and he's very good. He finishes with a VW Bug impression that's funny.

Exactly what I was thinking. "Record" my arse. That photographer needs to follow Eddie around.

Actually, Eddie, the difference is, the guy in the photo actually rode it out. It did not end with him picking the bike up. :lol:
