I'm not afraid of valves. I just don't put enough hours on my bikes for that to be a maintenance headache. I feel like I've ridden my 450 hard, but in 3 years, it has only needed a simple valve adjustment. Mechanical slides, like roundslides and especially flatslides are better performers than CV ca...

I liked going to different places and having dinner and talking with others. If Freedom is chosen as a regular meeting place, I probably would not be attending many future meetings unless it is a very interesting presentation. I think we all like going different places and eating, but the point was...

Thanks for the input, Jim--you've ridden a lot of bikes, and I figured you'd have some intel. Yeah, guys who own them and articles I read say the 300 EXC is really a different machine because of it's low torque that allows you to keep it a gear "too high" and tame it down or kick it down a gear and ...

KDX SOLD.

While I'm more familiar with the KTM, and it sounds like the normal maintenance stuff has been recently taken care of, I'm drawn to that old KDX. It looks to be in REALLY good condition.

That KLX 300 looks in great shape, too, but for pure off-road trail fun, the 2-stroke excites me more.

OK, let's hear it. Assume you have $1,400 of "extra" cash and you want a beater dirt bike to ride farm/woods trails and to allow non bike-owning friends to ride. WHICH of these do you buy? 1997 Kawasaki KDX 200 2-stroke (has since SOLD) http://kansascity.craigslist.org/mcy/4076742842.html http://ima...

As for locations for meetings, my sons went to Sadlers Racing recently and loved it. I haven't been in a long time, but I believe they have a meeting room and it could be a fun option to look into. http://www.sadlersindoorracing.com/index.php My employer recently did an event there and the meeting ...

I can't believe I missed this! Dag Nabit!!! I was bored out of my mind yesterday too! RideForum.NET should be the first website you load in the morning and the last you view before going to sleep. I thought everyone knew that?! I do want to remind everyone that you can "subscribe" to a specific for...

Awesome. 10 of us set to arrive about 10.

I wonder if we could get someone to speak to our group via a streamed av feed? Skype might be the easiest. Technically this isn't a big deal. Reliable, broadband would be a necessity...on both ends. This idea does expand our options...again, it's down to actually identifying, contacting, and gettin...

I'd be up for a lesson on lightweight dual sporting. I guess the only way I know is the bring way too much stuff, even though I thought I packed light method. I'm trying to think of a suitable place, but nothing comes to mind. I would think last Fri - Sun would be "lesson" enough for you! Nothing b...

A new club dedicated to Oakland has formed in the effort to preserve this riding area.
Shawnee County Trail Riders Club (S.C.T.R.C)

I've been thinking hard about this. If we have an agenda, such as "hammer out ride event details", "share moto stories", "GPS training", or "listen to speaker X"--a restaurant environment simply does not work UNLESS a private room is available WITH necessary equipment and resources. (computer-compat...

Damn! Looks like I missed a good ride! :( That first day report had a little bit of everything. Actually, it was a whole lot of the same with just a tiny bit of gravel road and pavement. The lot of it was NASTY, ROCKY climbs and descents! You would have loved it, Kendall. Plenty of places down ther...

SHAWNEE COUNTY TRAIL RIDERS CLUB Figured I'd help spread the message. Surprised these guys didn't find us and come online to garner support for the cause. I stumbled onto a craigslist ad that said this: Riverside ATV Park (locally known as the "Oakland trails") is a place where you can ride your at...

I'll be going by Charley Browns market tomorrow , I can pick up deli meat and cheese and we can have sandwiches at the farm. Having sandwiches at the farm will be great with me. It will give us more time to ride trails and do a farm tour for those who would like. If you plan to be here confirm and ...

I have not produced my movie yet, but had to get this raw video up quickly for you guys to enjoy!

My little video camera takes crappy photos.
