Re: Fall Bird Farm Trail ride Oct. 23 ,2021

Like Snarfie, I also plan to come up from Wichita. It does depend somewhat on whether I get my forks back from the shop in time, but they tell me they can get them rebuilt before Saturday. On my last day in Colorado last week my left fork dumped it's oil. If anyone is on the fence about this thing, ...

Re: Post pics or video from your ride today

Re: Post pics or video from your ride today

On October 12-14, 2021, Kyle, Sean, & I rode 3 days of trail in Colorado's Wet Mountains. This area is about 40 minutes W of Pueblo. https://i.imgur.com/s4qNQIe.jpg We rented a great AirBnB cabin outside Beulah Valley, CO. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6694203 https://i.imgur.com/420XS8z.jpg Kyle mad...

Re: Sep 24-26: Adventure Palooza 2021

So basically, Joe doesn't think the Palooza is enough of a challenge so wants to combine it with a Dusty Butt endurance challenge! :-o There was a solo rider who apparently did all of his route and captured every point inside of 24 hours. Looking through the Palooza photos & videos, you can see some...

Fingers crossed for good weather! I'm hoping to make it, although it might be mid-afternoon before I can get there that Saturday.

This is not fair. I deserve to be riding trails. Larry, why can't you just move the farm to higher, drier ground? :-D

Re: Motorcycle Training

Awesome! I think this says a lot:

It was the best motorcycle experience I have ever had.


You must have forgotten about riding Box Turtle Road--the most amazing dualsport road in existence. :wink:

Re: May 22 Spring Bird Farm Trail Ride

Unfortunate, but no doubt the right call. Josh, Birdman's farm is a great place to play for riders of all skill levels--including brand new riders. Look forward to seeing you put that Tiger through it's paces there if it works out! I'll bring my 300 2-stroke to play just a little bit harder. :-D

Re: 1986 XL600R Tire Help

Back in the day, if you wanted a good DOT dualsport tire that is aggressive enough to satisfy, the Dunlop D606 was the go-to.
