I thought at your age guys have to stop at gas stations every 60 miles to pee?

1 liter of “medicine” will make that walk more interesting and, can be used as fuel

If the bottles leak, this layout is ideal for wheelie-ing around Not so good for stoppie riding Keep it pointed 12 o’clock Mr @shutterrev ! Enduristan https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/enduristan-bottle-holster?sku_id=1161306 Nelson Rigg version https://a.co/d/gTaA12t

https://www.msrgear.com/water-treatment/storage-bags/dromedary-bags/dromedary-bags.html Nice addition to the chat! The 4 Liter is currently $37.39 at REI Looks like a nice middle ground between the @Zubb BMW Members Only Starbucks bag and the Armadillo bag. The Armadillo Bag appears to have a more robust shell which may be helpful when lashing it down.

Oh no not tire burnouts, I meant us dualsport knucklehead burnouts!

Room for burnouts?

Wow @tntmo has a Lot of gas 🤢 @A 2 thanks for sharing, you earned a TOM Sticker!

We need to see this video! Expose yourself!!

@jjjulien Welcome! I believe @moto_rph is near your neck of the woods but he is on the mend. @shutterrev likes to get out and ride, he has a 690 if I recall. Next Weds is the First Aid Training and could be a good opportunity to meet some folks and maybe take away a tidbit from the class.

To extend the life AND temperature range of your existing bag, consider a sleeping bag liner. There are a variety of options from $25 to $110. A liner can restore your old bag's temperature rating and/or extend it's service life. A more heavy duty liner can substitute as a very light sleeping bag / blanket for warm summer trips. This is a higher end one but it has the most reviews on the REI website, many of them are very positive. https://www.rei.com/product/797114/sea-to-summit-thermolite-reactor-extreme-sleeping-bag-liner

Finally! the recognition I deserve! Also @tntmo you have tires and oil older than your sleeping bag!

Nice! I bet there is still a lot of water from this past winter up there now.

Rumor has it you and @Strega only wear black and are often mistaken for DualSport Vampires.. Any quality PMB pics from this past season in the Park?

I stand corrected: great shot Mr @Covered in Dust Any info on which is the preferred way to run the canyon and other routes in the area? I may start a different thread on it actually

the @Mr.JAJA selfie is great! Good to see you out there and enjoying it. @shutterrev excellent sunset pic with the @tntmo CT Monster 125 @padu you're smiling in ever picture - awesome energy @DSM8 great pic of Green River, Utah. I may need to bribe you with burritos for info on that area for an upcoming trip. Looks similar to what @Bagstr and @PbdBlue rode from La Sal, Utah staying at the 3 Steps Hideaway: @Zubb that looks like a big low tide in San Quintin. We'll see how many swigs of "medicine" it takes before we pry Secret Spot info out of you! @moto_rph excellent contribution! how are you healing up? @Pokey151 is that the water near Bee Canyon? @350thumper I'm sure you have some great desert sunset pics to share! @paulmbowers that's a classic pic of the dustman @Covered in Dust. Maybe you and @DSM8 know, aren't permits are now required for White Rim Trail? (unsure if they were in the past)

Besides tires, our feet are the next most common part to touch the ground while riding. From stop lights to trail photo opportunities to the impromptu foot dab in a corner, our feet and ankles can carry the weight and momentum of us on our bikes. Broken ankles, tibulas and fibias are all too common. I’ve seen a rider break his foot right in front of me - it can happen fast. PPE won’t prevent ALL injuries but quality high protection boots can and will help. On the market today, Motocross boots have the highest protection. “Adventure” boots are marketed for a more casual coffee shop look and marginal walkability gains but they compromise top level protection. I think the advertised “ease of break-in” isn’t worth breaking your foot in them! I largely agree with most of this video below. I would still take the moto / SG12 style above the one he recommends. Also the Obenauf’s products he mentions are top notch, check out their oil and heavy duty preserve. I personally use both: Obenauf's Leather Conditioner - Leather Oil https://a.co/d/bV09AV2 Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP Leather Preservative https://a.co/d/ahT8hxe

“Adventure is a marketing term” Don’t Fall Victim!

Would be good to see you and hear about your experience and recovery!

PLENTY of dummies in this group! I’ll ask about a mannequin.

@Rjg967 REI is having their biggest sale of the year starting tomorrow. The Nemo “Disco” sleeping bag line will be 40% off which is killer. https://www.rei.com/product/163032/nemo-disco-15-sleeping-bag-mens Hope this sales news is helpful to you and other members!

14/44 is same as 15/47 Since you have the 44 rear installed, it’s easier to swap the front sprocket to experiment. For summer riding / faster & smoother fire roads 15/44 is great. Come winter if you are trucking to the desert maybe 14/44 would be a fun trial.

Yes! And it was a Yamaha YZ250 that made it history this year: It was the first 2 stroke in 17 years to qualify for a 450 Supercross Main Event and it happened twice! https://dirtbikemagazine.com/inside-jared-leshers-sx-built-yz250-two-stroke/ @tntmo didn’t you see this guy at Houston? @Wintyfresh do you still have your YZ250?

Huh? Never see them on the trails I ride My mirrors don’t have a zoom function!!!!

Front Sprocket $20 Rear Sprocket $30-40 Check out Rocky Mountain ATV / MC for lots of goodies. Also checkout those Kenda K270 tires You can have a Lot of great times on a DRZ for not too much investment

No wonder you’re hosting the “strip and flip” moto medical class on 5/31 !! @Zubb bring some Idaho “medicine” please!
