What?! I call BS! Show me a photo to prove it! No photo = did NOT happen.

Oh, I thought this was a hard core ride. Yes, I was joking about camping. I am going to attempt to make the ride though.

I'm in, but will need to buy a new tent. You are camping, right?

I like motorcycles as much as the next guy, but never had this happen after a ride.

Thanks for putting the ride together Troy. I had a great time and the weather was close to perfect. Glad you talked me into getting a new battery and joining you.

I've read about this ride the past two years but haven't been able to go. I am going to try and arrange it this time. Sounds like a great time.

Great pics, looks like a good ride.

My thought exactly!!!!

Why you guys crashing so much?

Article talking about the new V-Strom and Crossrunner. Neither seems to be a serious offroad threat, but both should be able to handle what most people want. And it's always nice to see manufacturers sharing some love with the adventure market. I like the looks of the V-Strom. The Honda looks too f...

Does BMW or preferably aftermarket make an aluminum bash plate? Surely that would be better right? Like this one: http://www.farklefab.com/ Looks like it could take a beating. Yeah they do make one, and that's what I have on the bike. The problem is that it mounts directly to the oil pan rather tha...

Looked like it was a lot of fun! Wonder how much that repair bill is gonna be to get that hole replaced? I have a new oil pan on order. With the gasket, it's about $300. I think I can repair the skid plate otherwise double that. I also think that the hole can be fixed, so I am going to keep it as a...

I finally have everything settled, unpacked, cleaned, and put away. As Troy described, it was a great ride overall. I really enjoyed it even with the small issue, but the bike made it home so I won't complain too much. This was my first real ride on my F800 and I learned a few things. I learned the ...

I am interested. Sign me up. Took it last year, was great. Want to do it again on the F800 this time.

Interesting. Could save a lot of annoyance, but I hope the "reasonable period of time" doesn't get abused to the point they reconsider. Also, it isn't law yet. It has only passed the House I believe.

So you go out and get an F800 and don't tell me???? I just picked it up yesterday. :) Rode it home. Great ride, but I think the heater is broken though because it was pretty cold!! I was going to get some pictures and make a post. Mostly stock with just a couple small accessories (skid plate, tank ...

Agree. Thanks Troy! I'm sure it was nothing considering how much free time you have on your hands.

Not sure how frequently legitimate accounts are created or whether you have much control over the creation process, but one thing I've seen on some boards is to have people enter a short description of why they want to register and then have an admin approve the account. The paragraph of text is to ...

I use a Mac at home and Windows/Linux machines at work. My wife and kids use Windows at home. Two years ago I would have recommended Mac for sure, but now I'm not so sure. For under $1000 you don't have much choice in the Mac category. The cheapest one they sell is $999. For that price, you would be...
