Zubb 1095 Posted May 1 OK ok ok already. I'll give it a go. I don't know if the 1250 GS is pouting, or just relieved. Maybe a little of both. But I put a splash of orange in the garage. Like a salmon swimming upstream to it's first home, a certain members KTM returned to La Mesa and took refuge in my garage. Am looking forward to exploring desert and single track with a more appropriate machine. Am looking forward to getting familiar with this thing! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zubb 1095 Posted May 13 Tube's I believe. I haven't looked inside those tires yet, LOL! I hope to take it to AZ this weekend for a few days of squirreling around. Will then jump on the 1250 for a week of AZ/UT BDR camping. Geeze, 2 bikes in the truck.... I'm starting to look like @MacDuncan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zubb 1095 Posted May 15 Well there’s 3 but only 1 takes air. If we added a couple more rim locks there probably wouldn’t be need for air, or mousse! Kidding aside now, 13lbs each front and rear w 2 rim locks per wheel. This thing is a hoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shutterrev 504 Posted May 16 (edited) Well I just fixed a broken subframe mount on my 690, not bad for 17k miles of tomfoolery (no offense Tom), and the unlit tail light is now no longer ticket-worthy. I may be in for a Black Mountain, etc shakedown run this weekend if i can get the bike buttoned up before then. Just make sure to wait for me on my big flabby 690 lol. I started dirt riding on big ADV bikes a few years ago, then went what I thought was skinny with the 690, now everyone I ride with is showing up to dirt with trailered 500's or smaller, may need to go for a 450RL, or 500ish skinny one of these days, I just can't seem to want to let go of the 690 as it's road manners are too fun.

Zubb 1095 Posted May 21 About 18 of us leave Globe this morning on the AZBDR for 6 days. There’s every kind of bike present from 450 RL, to 660, 690, 901 and 1250’s. We’ll split into 2 groups, a faster and a slower. We’ll see all sizes of bikes in both groups, proving once again it’s the Indian, not the arrow. We had a coaching ride day yesterday on part of the BDR for some to play with new skills from the weekend class. Spirits are high! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found more water and trees on the AZBDR than I expected. Watch the heat towards the rim. Young has a nice little deli (emphasis on little) but the sandwich was good and the people were friendly. Definitely grab food there. The Mogollon Rim section through the forest was probably the most fun riding. The black sand in the Cinders was cool as well. Plenty of gates north of Winona. It's a good ride and should be fast, enjoy! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.JAJA 393 Posted June 7 I did all this before it even was the AZ BDR. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
