    Riding in Yuma

    Cool introduction video. That is the first time I have seen anyone introduce themselves that way. Good job!
  2. Something wrong with that file, MapSource says not a valid MapSource file. There are some tracks already posted on DSM. http://www.dualsportmaps.com/?link=107618

    ATF is great stuff for a lot of things.I soak stiff O-ring chains in it to loosen them up.

    Garmin Montana- Anyone using it?

    What about the Dakota 10 or 20.? Looks like a smaller version of the Montana with a lot of the same features and specs for less money.The Oregon 450 looks nice too. It has a 3" diag. screen for about 330.00

    Corral

    Some friends and I had a coast race down the South Grade of Palomar many moons ago when we were younger and dumber. Pretty crazy thing to do!
  9. Smiles like this one from my grandson Kingston tend to have an effect on my outlook on life also! He is 15 months old and has no plans for the rest of his life either. Maybe that is the secret of life, to take it as it comes and to make the best of it! "Pablo told us some good stories and definitely an inspiration to go on big moto trips and/or around the world. Very cool guy....he is 43 and has no plans for the rest of his life, this trip will basically determine the rest of his life. He said when you choose to leave everything you know behind and go on a trip like this, it changes who you are and your outlook on life...definitely something I hope and really want to do before I'm 60".
  10. I noticed the trees too! Why did they doctor it up with riders that skilled? After they filmed the first part of the video they prolly took it off and only a pint of gas in the tank. Was I the only one who noticed the tree's leaning a whole lot to make the climb look steeper. I could go over the bars like he did at 9:28. It's a great sales video.

    2007 klx250

    $4300.00 seems a little steep for a 6 year old bike, (the yellow DRZ). A brand new one is $6499.00( Base MSRP). This is a quote off Kelley Blue Book`s site 2006 Suzuki DR-Z400S "Excellent Condition $3,210" http://www.kbb.com/m...yname=dualsport Here is a 2012 at Fun Bike Center for $5600. http://www.funbike.c...uzuki-dr-z400s/

    Suspension 101

    Does George work on the Marzocchi forks and Sachs rear shock on older Husqvarnas? The newer models have Kayaba suspension. The new 650 models have Sachs front and rear.

    Keep your eyes open....OUCH

    Not that it makes much difference but he hits the front of a car that is parked on the wrong side of the road. He probably would have rear ended the other car anyway.

    funniest ride report ever!

    There is a town called Intercourse in Pa.! I don`t think there is a town called Foreplay just before you get there!
  19. I was reading up a little on Mary McGee and look who I found listed at the bottom of this page under "More great Women racers worth listing" Page 3 of the Gallery has a pic. http://motodude.com/...der-puff-years/

    Shoring up Truck Suspension

    I put coil over shocks on the back of my 94 2wd Toyota PU and hauled my Harley Sportster and my Mechanics tools from MA .to CA. Also had quite a bit of other stuff packed in around the bike and toolbox, with my wife and I in the front. Averaged about 22 mpg. and 75mph. I am pretty sure I was right at the load limit. Did about 2600 mi. in 5 days.
  23. Never said electricity doesnt kill. High amps kills not high voltage. Did not mean to imply that you could have amps with zero volts!!!
