Re: Learn about rallying and roadbook navigation July 1st

On our way back from Wyoming, we had a lot of time to ponder on what made the experience so interesting and can it appeal to other people or not. I have been told several time so why a road book, my GPS can just do as well, or a road book in KS why? Here is my take on it, over the years I have a don...

Learn about rallying and roadbook navigation July 1st 2016

I am just stealing my own words from last year: You probably have all heard about the Dakar rally or other races to remote places. You actually do not have to go that far to have a lot of fun! https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Yellow-Stone-Rally/i-VZDfRwB/0/L/G0080447-L.jpg This year I had the ...

Re: Sat May 21st, 5th Manhattan Fun Ride! (for all ages)

It was a good time! Quite a few people showed up, most of the trails were in pretty good shape with good grip, though wet and slimmy in a few places! Kids had a good time, people had fun! I got to ride a GS and I was very impressed on how it makes things feel easy, though I am not sure how Ajayhawkf...

Re: Sat May 21st, 5th Manhattan Fun Ride! (for all ages)

I failed to post it this year, but like in years past, it seems like when people start to show up around 10, it works pretty good with the flow of the day. But we'll be here anytime you show up :-)

see you tomorrow!

Ordering sandwiches, so if you are not listed at the bottom of the first post, speak up so we have food for you!

See you all Saturday, not sure if I said it already but we'll start around 10 for the earliest.

Léonce and I went to try the new lay out of the trails, the ground was perfect!

Re: Birch

Yep, that is why you do invite your friends when you want to take teh big bike to those places ;-) A couple of things, first he is riding some pretty aggressive narrow tires, not the TKC80 or other more dual sport tires that most of us run on our big bikes. On the really gnarly stuff, it is interest...

Re: NMBDR

Looks like another terrible ride in desertic places ;-)

Do you have any advice on soft luggage, if you had to do it again, would you recommand the giant loop versus one that would let you mount a duffel bag easier on your rear plate?

I plan on bringing a Honda XR50 (a bit small for Lars), Yamaha TTR 125 (a bit large for Lars), and my KTM 450 (way too big for Lars, but just right for me).
Excellent, looking forward to see you here Mike!
