Oracle

You weren't kidding about bringing a raft...it would have allowed us to ferry the bikes across the "creek" and would have saved us a 50 mile detour... The Oracle and Vanjoosten standing by....

Already done with this, but thanks for thinking of me...

I purchase a used Garmin 78 that will be used on my 950 Adventure and 530 Exc. Both bikes will be hard wired for the GPS. During my research, I've found two option for the hard wire. One utilizes the mini USB connector and the other uses the round 4 pin connector....so, which connector is recommended by the people in the know???

Step into an "Adventure Bike" for $2800... http://www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/chinese-built-250cc-adventure-bike-coming-to-the-us/ Regardless of price, this is not my cup of tea. But I wonder if there will be a market for it here. I guess we'll find out.

Maybe do that Arizona Banck Country Discovery route? http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/ Run it north to south and get the higher elevations out of the way first.

No. And I'll sue for misuse of my brand. Aw, maybe it was Saturday.... http://dualsport-sd.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18809-fun-sat-am-ride/

I've been wanting to do this trip too. A little more notice next time and I'm in.

Yes please! Hey, PMB, were you southbound on highway 67 Friday around mid-day?? If not, you have a twin, riding a twin bike, wearing twin Motoport gear

Yes, it does. Charlie, if you are adjusting it a lot, that is another sign it needs to be changed out. Definitely change at least the back sprocket. If you plan on doing a lot of dual sport (i.e. dirt), than go with a Supersprox. They are a hybrid sprocket that is light, but last long

Time for a new chain buddy. If you need help, I have a chain tool.

Yeah, that part does suck!

Sounds like a KTM? Have you actually heard one run? I have not heard of any collaboration between KTM and Yamaha, so I'd have to say no.

It should not be that difficult to move links. How much use on it??

How about a 660?? Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré

Thanks for the input. I just made the purchase.

This seems like a pretty good deal for a first time system??? http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=763&products_id=1323

Great lookin' rig! What motor are you running? Thanks! I'm running a 450HP LS1.

This is just amazing...I love watching this guy drive!

Kevin, here's a pic of my Potter Production dual sport. Obviously far from a Class 1 car but still fun as hell and Baja capable. I did get a chance a few years ago to ride shotgun in Penhall's Class 1 out in Havasu...which is enough to humble the average man!

Just things I've read over the years. Comparisons of him to Robby Gordon and Jeff Gordon, both of which have reputations for being pretty conceded and egotistical. And I've seen him drive with little concern for others around him, including my group of friends, while out in Glamis a couple years ago.

Thanks for the first hand background. I know a bit about BJ based on what I've read over the years and have always admired him as a driver, but not necessarily as a person.

Oh man, you are way off. North of $500k

Like Spaugh said, drain a little, then add a little more water...

Crazy.... Even my three kids (7, 10, 13) bring water when we go rides. Even in the winter... Even when it's cold... Even when it's raining... Even when they are not thirsty... It's the second most important element in the entire world!!

For the first time, I'm not bummed to be missing a Sunday ride because of work....have fun baking...I'll be soaking up free A/C
