That looks 50 lbs of crap hanging in front of the bars over the front wheel. Luc, with your rally experience, do you have a good idea how much weight all that stuff is?

McLiney skid plate! Yes, McLiney makes the best skid plates. They also make the best chapstick. Thanks for also sponsoring my NMBDR ride!

Yeah, one of the 5 oldest Suzuki dealerships in the country.

A friend sent me this link. I did not know Donnell Shiflett, owner of Donnell's Motorcycles, but the obituary tells an interesting story. I assume some of you knew him. Sounds like the man was a bit of an icon. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/kansascity/obituary.aspx?n=v-donnell-shiflett&pid=187235...

Great post, Creekside!

That was interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!

You might also consider a Honda XR650L. I don't know why I forget about the Honda XR650L. Yes, those are a great dualsport motorcycle, and surprisingly comfortable. I had a friend who put a really comfy seat on his and would ride it on gnarly trails in AR as well as longer road trips. Many of us wi...

Great video, Savage! Glad you finally got out to ride and camp the mountains!

And to snowman's point you'd rather drop a KLR on the rocks than a beautiful Africa Twin.

Likewise it does not hurt near as much to scratch up a used bike than it does a brand new bike

......... ...... It's a swiss army knife that does not do any specific task well! (Let the flaming begin!) ......... Not flaming but maybe too harsh? A KLR650 can do about any task just not very well. Almost exactly what I said. Loved my KLR650, but it's not a great street bike, it's not a great of...

I suggest a Suzuki DR650 as a "first dualsport motorcycle". Like the KLR650 and DRZ400, they are relatively low cost, can be found used, and if you want to sell it a year later, you might get your same money back out of it. The DR650 advantages are low cost, very easy to ride--tamer and lower seat h...

I guess my attempt at humor kind of missed a bit. You posted this in the Classified section, not in the Rides section. Maybe Troy could move it for you? I caught it as humor, but thought you were asking "Are you looking for SOMEONE TO RIDE WITH YOU or are you looking for SOMEONE TO RIDE WITH?" An i...

If I were Bird man with 5+ miles of trails on my land, I think I could get a ton of fun out of an e-dirtbike. But $60/mo rental for the battery & charger? Ugh. Nothing is free, though. If the alternative is the overall bike costs $1,440 more, well--that's 2 years of $60/mo rental fee, and at the end...

That would definitely be cool. I loved watching his YouTube series.

At least from an aesthetic vantage point, wow did KTM get this thing right. Looks great--better than the other electric dirt bikes I've seen (photos only).

Rachel (10 years old) and I plan to join in on the fun! THANKS, Luc!
