    You get to design your own colors and they build them to your spec. Here's a link: https://thrillseekerscollection.com/products/gripper-seat-cover

    seat upholstery in San Diego

    Just put one of these on my XR and my EXC; very happy with the product. Haven't finished stapling on the XR one yet.....

    Check out this cruise control device!

    There is a Stone truck running around that says on the side "It's not too expensive; you're too cheap"! I like the first one

    Hey 2 smoke guys, what's the bike to get?

    I am not nearly as good of a rider as I suspect you are; so take this with a grain of salt! I love my 650 for some things and I love my 500 for others. At the end of the day, "ready to race", even for me, is not even close on these bikes, which is kinda disappointing. I did pull the smog and reed valve, cleaned up the muffler, added a JD Tuner and had George redo the suspension and I am finally happy with the bike. Good luck on making your decision!

    Lower Profile Rear Tire

    I work too much (have three jobs) and just can't seem to get away as much as I would like to. House goes on the market in spring and I sell a portion of one business in June and move to Utah; with any luck I'll be able to do 300 miles a week once there!

    Lower Profile Rear Tire

    Always pinch flats, and usually on the front. I tend to use the front brake a lot and I have heard that may be contributing to it. I do have rim locks (was not running them for a while) and that seems to have slowed the flats. I usually run around 12-14 psi in both bikes. The XR has been used as a double up bike with my wife on mostly road trips (around 200 miles) and I have raised the psi then. Only 1 pinch flat on the front of the XR on the road; rest were all dirt (probably around six total; bike has about 3,700 miles on it). No flats on the Shinko's yet, but bike (unfortunately) only has about 300 miles on it so far and I ran the stock tires for about 100 miles in the beginning.

    Lower Profile Rear Tire

    I run the Dunlop D606 on my XR and the Shinko 505 on my KTM. The XR seems to spend more time on the road (actually probably about 50/50) so that tire works well for both surfaces, and I am very happy with the Shinko on the KTM (I have 3 Ocotillo trips on that as well as one Big Bear trip; probably about 400 total miles and it still looks like new). The Shinko is a fatty but I like how it handles and have had to flats at all (I seem to get them every time I take the Honda in the dirt with the D606's).

    Sur Ron-Anybody ridden one?

    Buddy of mine in Santa Cruz just picked one up and says it is a blast; anyone around here rode one? https://lunacycle.com/sur-ron-x-bike-black-edition/

    Sur Ron-Anybody ridden one?

    That viddy did NOTHING to talk me out of one! I have the exact same fear, Kelly! I am almost done with my Chevy Volt Lithium battery conversion in my golf cart so my eyes are catching electric stuff currently (no pun intended!)!

    Pio Pico fatalities

    Very sad. From the looks of the debris field it was quite a collision

    Sur Ron-Anybody ridden one?

    The Sur Ron is one I would definitely have to budget in....... That makes the CAKE bike just a bit farther out!

    Sur Ron-Anybody ridden one?

    I'm not ready to make a move on one yet but they sure do look interesting (and stealthy!).

    2020 KTM 500 exc tuning

    That is the statement of the year! That said, once I did the smog delete (shhhh!), JD tuner, took out the reed valve, opened up the exhaust and swapped out the tires it was a completely different bike. Then after I got it back from having George put a set of his Gobblers in the forks it transformed once again. From a bike I kind of liked to one that I now love!

    I swore I would never share but this thread broke me.

    Fish Creek ADV

    One time I was out in a sand wash and saw what I can only explain as a torpedo in the sand. Visible from the surface was a breathing snorkel, fresh air intake nozzle and a GoPro. As it approached me and the sand starting turning to dirt, out popped Zubb on the big Beemer. With a tip of his helmet and a twist of the throttle-resulting in one of the longest wheelies I have ever seen-he was off. Definitely a sight that I will never forget.

    2009 Ktm 400 no spark

    You know what they say; good things are worth the wait! I am in Escondido and made the drive out and am super stoked; it's a whole new bike! By the way, I am not a paid spokesperson, nor do I play one on TV; just a happy customer!

    2009 Ktm 400 no spark

    Bummer!! Mine were leaking as well and I took the bike to George at Suspension 101 and he added the Gobblers and did the seals at the same time; you may want to give him a call
