  2. Meet at 4 Corners. That’s the parking area at the top of the hill if your not familiar. Small bikes. Intermediate riders. 2-3 hour ride.
  3. See you in the morning. Silver F150. Red and white Beta. Fat guy with a grey beard.

    I got tired just watching that
  10. I have the Scott’s dirt version stabilizer. It definitely helped with head shake on the slab. If I turned it up tighter I’m certain it would help. The TKC80 that came stock shook less. I shouldn’t be riding that speed anyway. It’s 90 - 105 mine does it. 75 on your bike would be quite annoying. Im no expert on this. This is my first Adventure bike.
  11. I’m running that on my 1090 front and rear. Very good in the dirt. I probably won’t run the front again. Great in the dirt but head shakes badly from 90 - 105. Tire balanced and a Scott’s Stabilizer.
  12. Once ran into a Porsche Cayenne trying to go up 38 Special in Big Bear. One of the most difficult trails up there. Had a flat tire. Was in his early 20’s. Probably his dads car.

    Why it's best to run DOT tires

    Just picked up new Golden Tyres for my 300 2 smoke at C&D Cycle today. Steve is well stocked now. They were hard to find for awhile. Anxious to try new GT333 Gummy. It’s DOT but very soft - wouldn’t last long on pavement.

    Why it's best to run DOT tires

    I’ve ridden Glamis a lot on a paddle since I was a kid. Most fun I’ve had though is a Golden Tire GT333 (DOT)with Tubliss and 2 lbs air on my 500. Out run my buddies on there 450 MX bikes with paddles up the big dunes. Ability to slide the rear while going around a bowl WFO in 5th and 6th is a hoot. GT333 is my go to on my 300 and 500.

    Congrats. If it doesn’t make you smile it’s the wrong bike. It think you’re going to be smiling a lot. Hit me up for a ride.

    The 1090 takes clutch and a bit of technique to wheelie. It’s not going to wheelie like Rory on a 500 EXC (or anything for that matter). It will drag race Cruisers very well. I’m always kicking myself afterwards thinking it’s not a good idea doing 140 on knobby tires.
  19. 1090R owner. Lots of mods but S101 Suspension revalve took it from street bike to dirt bike. I don't ride as well as the guys Robert is referring to but I can ride. I don't ride it enough but makes me smile every time I do. My experience on it. Dirt road riding that is boring on my 500 is fun on the big bike I can ride all day on the Seat Concepts Comfort seat. I don't ride single track alone after dropping it down hill and it would have been bad with out a riding buddy helping out - Thanks Mike - SanRider Speeding tickets - I haven't got one yet but its inevitable My next mod is a slightly taller windscreen - I'd rather have bugs on the windscreen than my visor. My last Imperial Valley ride was a mess Your welcome to test ride mine before buying one.

    Local Fatties

    C&D is out of the Golden as well. Steve is hoping for an order in about a week. I got about 25 hours out of the Shinkos and the side knobs were tore badly. I have 50 hours on a newer Golden. Side knobs are not tearing off. Just wore out from riding slab. To me the Golden is worth the extra $50.

    2020 KTM 500 exc tuning

    A Recluse clutch works amazing on that bike as well. PM me and I’ll send you a parts list to quickly turn it into a $18000 bike of your dreams. Don’t forget to visit Suspension101. George turns that bike into a full on Desert Race winner. Enduro ready competitor. Or just about the best all around play bike for us normal folks. Unfortunately these bikes are not Ready to Race as advertised.
