Trials bike ride-McCain Valley Saturday?
robertaccio replied to captcham's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
if there I am always game for trials on my hushky, its great training. if there will look for the no seat machines. -
simple stuff first got air? (filter clean) got spark?(fresh plug is good too, kill switch short to ground check) got fresh fuel? (got fuel getting in to engine, petcock screen, water in tank, inline filter) got clean carb? (all clean and jets unclogged) got valve clearance? (important, very) got compression? got good cam timing? (cam chain stretch throws off cam timing=hard or no start) good luck and go step by step easy stuff progress to the more labor intensive (dont jump the gun). good suggestion posts above

MotoGP 125
robertaccio replied to kellymac530's topic in Roadracing - Upcoming Events, Results, Discussions, etc.
alot of the 125 GP bike expansion chambers are shouded for aerodynamics and they present a really strange profile like a big bazooka looking pipe. That is maybe how it was viewed, but mechanically internal they look like your basic 2 stroke pipe from FMF or other. RN PS Spain is just going off this year in international sports from F1 to MotoGP to Moto2 to 125GP to tennis and to Soccer!! They are the action sports/big money sports winners for 2010!!By a long shot! -

Single track trail and Tot Lot at C.C. January 9th, 2010
robertaccio replied to Metal Twister's topic in Adopt a Trail and Other Trail Maintenance Issues, Volunteer Trail Days, etc.
challenge it or stay on the jeep/quad/regular single track moto trails, impassable to many is simple second nature to some. I liked the original trail as it was,,,its just that everyone focuses on the groove and gets deeper and deeper from all the wheel spinning. The rocks offered the best line you just gotta commit, this trail is a real natural trail, and commendations go out to the design team. Need to get back out on it for some back and forth burn it in time. stand up, or sit, less wheel spin more clutch slip more weight onto the rear and more active on the bike in all 3 axis of movement. got it on Hcam from the original layout. sorry to rain on anyones parade but this is one of almost only one trail out there that is not for everyone. reroute to make it easier is wrong. my two pence. -
November 7th
robertaccio replied to bikeslut's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
xr650 rider, Try to modulate (slip) your clutch a little more on the big girl and maintain more constant throttle. You're riding over tough, bumpy hard stuff in good body position from the photo view, but the on again off again throttle (gas) is upsetting your smooth flow. You can smooth out the terrain with the clutch both under acceleration(less advanced) and deceleration (more advanced) my 2 cents worth of advice, good video. Looks like y'all had a good ride, conditions looked great. BS is a great trail leader and solid/safe rider. Once we get past this upcoming event I would like to join you all again, maybe on my big girl DS TE610. RN Albert! good to see you in the peleton, I still remember your never say die effort on that loose hill(advanced climb) at the mccain zone, we went up that thing yesterday, the loose sandy area is still the same but the rock steps are getting uglier by the minute. Did you get a softy(lower) seat for the 530? -

For those of you who like the mountains
robertaccio replied to dirt dame's topic in Articles, Movies, Videos, DS/ ADV Related
good points, and uphills for all to remember use your quick transition moves on the uphill pivot, its best to JUMP with real commitment over to the other side of the seat (learned this from world enduro champ) and plant your foot and get your weight transfered to the low side (against the hill) quickly to avoid that dreaded highside tumble and remember to adjust position from forward to aft to weight your rear wheel in the power range/band slipping clutch to prevent loop out wheelie. But pivot wheelie can be good for advanced riders, just dont let the bike get away or it will piroette right off the trail. Thanks for posting, that area looks epic! -
I've driven the mountain roads of Italy in a 3 cylinder diesel, in a rainstorm... I'm not scared of antyhing any more now thats some stuff,,a real adventure ride.!! done a few like that as well. on 2 and 4 wheels but never in 3 cylinder diesel!!hey welcome back!!

I would rather drive down through Tecate to Rancho Sta V and ride/race single track for days, then visit many parts of LA, NY, Baltimore, Detroit, DC etc etc . estimated just a wag by me that at least 90% of those killed in Mex are in the biz. for historical context follow the Columbia story, when the pressure was strong against the trade the killing and terrorism skyrocketed, until the whole big org collapsed and common working folks reclaimed their country. Note also: Hey US dopers stop buying the blood stained dope that you love so much!!!without a market the biz owners will wither up and their empires and violence will crumble. my 2 cents

11/03/10 Weekday Dualsport
robertaccio replied to dirt dame's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
That was a great trail/DS ride report!!! That NAU helmet is very nice!! see below, Also for full face helmets you may want to explore the possibilty of procuring an AIROH Stelt Sr (top line) or one of the mid range AIROHs. My Stelt Senior is 1000 grams (super lite, its one of my secret weapons), its what all those fast MX and enduro Euros and some select US riders are using. -
