Goofy Footer 539 Posted May 30, 2014 BMW is sold pending funds so no ride for me this weekend. Have fun! Excellent, congrats Mr Vacman! Now it's time to sell that puny lil 565 and step up to a 640 Adventure! It's the perfect for this Sunday's ride (well Any ride really...). Really. It's been said that once riders throw a leg over the legendary 640A, an uncontrollable sense of euphoria overwhelms them and the first twist of the throttle on the mighty LC4 instantly leads them on a lifetime of eternal bliss.

the shoe 0 Posted May 30, 2014 That's funny... I thought that was just their a$$es going numb from the vibes?! ...... Just joking, 640's a great bike! I used to have an SXC back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha. No 640 in my future. Next bike will be a twin capable of dirt duty... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted May 31, 2014 Bolts are pretty generic. Dixieline always seems to have a good selection of metric stuff. Even if you have to shim it a little, it'll prolly do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find this Tusk 180 piece bolt kit from RMATV to be great when I need a random bolt/washer for the bike: http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/988/16415/Tusk-180-Piece-Metric-Motorcycle-Bolt-Kit?term=tusk%20bolt%20kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted May 31, 2014 If a guy wanted a hearty breakfast in Alpine before this ride, where would be the hot spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted May 31, 2014 In the same parking lot is a Greek/American Grill; good prices, decent food. There is also a flapjack place in the same lot and obviously, Carl's Jr. Steph's donut hole is also in that lot.........for a "hearty" breakfast, one mile East on Alpine Blvd is Janet's Montana Cafe- HUGE portions in a rustic decor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TdubLady 1 Posted May 31, 2014 If a guy wanted a hearty breakfast in Alpine before this ride, where would be the hot spot? Let me know where and I'll meet you for some coffee. I'm just gonna ride up and say Hi anyway-my knee is for sure not ready for any more than that yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
