Re: WHERE to ride
I emailed Soggy Bottom camp a while back to make sure, and the were very helpful and said they are "dirt bike friendly". My wife is getting a new bike on Monday and I am hoping to go and try out this area. Did you find anywhere Hockey Dad? I am in Smithville and would love to find some areas closer ...

Re: Ride through Mexico June 3rd
Will the pre-ride be street, gravel, or minimum maintenance? Have to plan out which bike
Hoping to make the meeting if work can manage not to get in the way! It's been too long!

Re: DRZ400 Valve adjustment advice
I checked my DRZ at about 12000 miles and they were all in spec. I would check it before worrying about ordering them and just plan on trading them out at a bike shop. A few of the ones in Leavenworth only wanted $1 per shim. Just my .02. It is VERY easy and there are a number of great online walk t...

Re: Heartland Park bike track day
I have done track days at Heartland and have found the tech requirements are stricter than many other tracks in the area because of the number of yahoos that show up. Pay particular attention to your tires. They are the item that tends to get the most scrutiny and they want something like 80% tread ...

Re: V strom skid plate
I have the motech and the highway bars. I love the setup. I can't give much of a testimony to off road capabilities as my vstrom is 99% road use but it saw 15k last year and I love the highway bars just to change the seating position and move my legs a bit. I remove just the rear bolts and loosen th...

Heated First Gear Jacket
Good morning all! IF any of you are debating on buying a heated jacket liner this year, stop debating! Now! Simply run out and drop the dough! Don't wait until it is too cold to really enjoy the heated gear! I bought mine and used it this morning and I am in love!!!! Best investment next to the oxfo...

Re: November 5 TAR
I'm missing tonight thanks to some sort of sinus cold thing I'd rather not share....but I agree with ajayhawkfan on Freedom cycles as a regular place. Though I have not made a meeting in a while, it would be more challenging to get down there after work. I think the midtown area is a nice middle gro...

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
Link's was a lot of fun. Hopefully next time my bike won't run out of gas and I'll be better prepared for the heat. It was fun, but it was steamy out there. Thanks for towing me back, Troy. That will be a story I retell for a while. Nothing like a little humiliation to put smiles on all your friend'...

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
One more logistical type question...I don't normally carry cash and it occurred to me that link may not want a check and most likely doesn't take credit cards. Not a huge deal if I should hit an atm on the way out, but I won't if I don't need to. I am bringing out my KDX and drz and a ton of tools a...

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
Ok guys, I forgot to ask and don't ahve time here at work to read back through the posts. How is food going to work out there? Bring our own? Go out to nearby places? Buy it from Link? I've never been and my wife is headed to the store this very moment and offering to grab stuff if I need it. Thanks!

From all of the details, I can only imagine that finding this in the dark will be an adventure in and of itself.

Thanks Troy! I throw this on Google earth later and make sure I have a pretty decent idea of where I'm headed.

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
Pretty sure I 'm in! Providing I can get the bike maintenance done in time (and I should) I am good to go. I am assuming I can search either here or Google for an address for the cabins. This is my first trip in about 7 months! \m/

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
Thanks Troy but I should be able to haul the bikes. I have to drive my truck either way.
I think I should be able to swing the trip in the end. Trying to get it nailed down today. Fingers crossed.

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
Troy, things are still up in the air for me. Go ahead and plan on letting someone else have my seat. Hopefully I can manage to go but I wouldn't be leaving until later Friday afternoon no matter what. I should know tomorrow or Wednesday for sure. I will plan on driving down there after work and just...

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!
I am hoping to attend. Just waiting on a few things to fall in place. I would love to carpool if someone had room and needed some extra gas money
I would most likely bring out my DRZ400 and/or kdx. Not sure which one is more appropriate.

Re: Indianapolis Moto GP
My brother and I are going out as well but I don't think that we are riding. It should be a great race! We are meeting some friends from North Carolina and making a long weekend out of it. I am very excited! I wish I could join you for the ride out. Maybe next year though! Check out the thread on AD...
