I did the maint. and used Rotella.

The information regarding the Stampede is available on the Backroads Touring, Kansas site. 10-12 June '11 in Eureka KS. They have to limit the number of entries and it will most likely fill up soon. Lotsa dual-sport goodness and a view of Kansas you don't get from I-70.

I've decided that I needed some more Chadwick abuse in my life so after missing many years of riding offroad I'd try again. I have a Scorpa Longride trials type bike that's been taking up room in my garage. Figured it would be a better choice than a Dual Sport bike for down there as it only weighs a...

I just bought a pair of Michelin T63 dual sport tires for $114.00 shipping included from M/C Superstore. Have read good things about them on various sites and decided to try. Not as aggressive as 606 or Metzler 6 days but hopefully not as sketchy on pavement. If we ever get some "global warming" I'l...

What's scheduled for the 9th?

I've got a '07 450 EXC that I use for dualsporting and love it. Larger fuel tank, tall seat, changed gearing (1 tooth smaller counter), hand guards, radiator guards, skid plate, etc. I'm in Platte City, if you want to look, e-mail me at clfarren5944@gmail.com Also have a KLR but it's a street bike, ...

We'll probably leave on 29 April, AM. Three days on the road, spend Fri. night in Tonopah than go on down to Gold Point on Sat. AM. Leave Gold Point Sat. afternoon and head down towards Vegas and work and work our way North and East through Zion? Or maybe West through Death Valley for a while before...

I just got my latest Thumper News. The May Thumper Cafe get-together is a ghost town north and west of Las Vegas on 2 May. I'm planning to ride out on my KLR. Anyone interested in going along??? I always try to stay off of the Interstates as much as possible. Probably a Southern route depending on t...

I was able to see two days of the National Trials at Duluth a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to believe how talented the Pro riders are and how painful their crashes are. Imagine falling backwards off a 12 of 15 ft cliff than having your bike land on top of you. Get up, shake it off, and ride the ne...

Aerostich Combat Touring boots for about 5 years. Touring, dualsport, etc. More flex than MX boots but much more comfy for all day wear, walking. Also a little shorter. Around $250.00 in their catalog.

Anyone want to go Dual Sport riding around Moab late Apr. or early May? Will be hauling out and Motel staying. Millions of miles of DS roads and trails for all abilities. Fantastic scenery. I'm going to make my 450 EXC more of a dual sport, bigger tank, more oil capacity, better seat, etc. My riding...

Hey Troy, David Knight can be beat! A young Polish rider beat him at the EnduroX final in Vegas Sat. night. One of the best races I've ever seen. He had just become Knights team mate after winning Erzberg. Knight was pissed! Geoff Aaron rode a new elec start 2-wheel drive KTM/Christini 250cc. The co...

Was able to go to both rounds of the EnduroX in Denver and then Guthrie OK last weekend. Fantastic racing at both races. If you're not familar check out their website. You get to see the best offroad racers in the world from your seat. David Knight,KTM, proved why he's the best there is by winning b...
