Ride To Work Day - June 15th

Apparently this has been going on for 24 years, but for those like myself who aren't aware of the movement, more info at this link: http://www.ridetowork.org/ http://www.ridetowork.org/files/art/2015/ride_to_work_2015.jpg Since I have a 45 mile one-way commute, I'll probably bow out if the weather i...

Re: Fuel Tank Rust Removal

Quick update for any of those following this thread: After 2 full days of vinegar bath, I was able to get quite a bit of the rust out. However, I anticipate my fuel filter will eventually clog once again, as there is still visible rust inside. Ace Radiator in Independence charges $65 to completely c...

Re: Fuel Tank Rust Removal

I had to have a few cleaned about 30 years ago and we would take them to a radiator shop. Years ago there was one off square in Liberty that's long gone but I know Avondale Radiator is still open down street from NKC hospital. Might be worth calling to see if they could boil out the tank. IDK that'...

Fuel Tank Rust Removal

Any first-hand experience removing rust from the inside of a fuel tank? As expected, there are a few different options on YouTube. I've got the tank filled with white vinegar at this point, but it doesn't look to be doing much. There is an interesting video using electrolysis which I make attempt if...

Re: Independence Day Weekend Ride?

Count me in for this one. The Mrs. is scheduled to work Friday and Saturday, so I don't even have to feel bad about leaving her home alone on a holiday. I'll plan on riding the VStrom to work Thursday (Legends / Speedway area) and meeting up with the group somewhere in Johnson County in the afternoon.

Re: TAR April 7, May 5, June 2 and June 30

For the June 2nd ride to Weston, I'm about 95% sure I'm "out". The family and I get back from Mexico at 1:30, and I doubt I'll have the energy to make a Weston ride and back as we start our journey home at around 3:30AM. I'll have to miss that awkward moment when I'm the only one at the table orderi...

Re: Title Issue

I just went through this scenario with my '05 DL650. Maybe I just got lucky, but I called the bank directly, and had a lien release in my mailbox 2 days later. I probably could have stopped in and had the same result. Regardless, if the lienholder confirms the account is paid in full, they really ha...

Re: Mountain Bike Thread

I bought a Mountain Bike earlier this year, and would like to start hitting the trails this spring. It's been many years since my BMX days, but the few times I've been out so far, it's been a blast.

I'm only about 10 minutes from Landahl park, so if anyone ends up heading this way, hit me up.

Sorry you won't be able to make it, Steve. Just PM me your credit card number, and we can pretend you came and bought a round. :lol:

Re: Chadwick 11/7 and 11/8

Mike:

Hayden and I are going to plan on being down there Saturday. However, we may not ride with the group, given Hayden's lack of experience, and the fact we're riding DRZs :lol:

We're planning on getting to Chadwick early Saturday morning (driving down from Pomme De Terre).

Re: TAR Fall 2014 Ride Oct. 17-19

The good news is two redneck AR boys at a dry C-Store tipped me and Scott off to Daffy's place back in 2005 when we were into riding the twisties on our sport touring bikes. The old "need a cold one" GPS has never failed us so worst case scenario we'll be at Daffy's around 5 - 5:30 pm. Bronco - If ...

Re: Walters Ranch

James and I have made a few trips down there. PROS: Much larger than most riding areas suitable for a "day" ride from KC (Perry, Deepwater, etc..) I think they have 1700 acres, which is nice. Their single-track can be challenging in places, but nothing close to what we've been on in Arkansas. CONS: ...
