Thanks, RD!

...and the 890 is supposed to be even better! This past Monday, I returned from 6 days of riding through Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, and other parts of Southern Nevada and California. My steed was a KTM 790 Adventure R . https://i.imgur.com/yxGAwa9.jpg As you can surmise from the title of this...

That is as bad as I've seen mud in a tire! Wow.

Thanks for your generosity to put these events on, Luc!

The time commitment is pretty important as well. Couldn't you ride a bike? Luc With travel to ID and back included, this is a 2 week commitment. That is a consideration for sure. I can definitely ride a bike! :D Did you mean "rent a bike"? Possible of course, but a rental for that long is $$$, and ...

No definite plan, but it's on the bucket list. I've wanted to get into Idaho single-track for a decade. 1,900 miles on a dirt bike for 8 to 10 days carrying camping gear is more aggressive than any motorcycle adventures I've had up to this point, and not to brag, but I think I'm up for this challeng...

10 days and over 1,900 miles in Idaho's back-country?! Oh yeah! Tour of Idaho (T1) http://www.motorcyclejazz.com/TID_Route_Description.htm The Tour of Idaho is more involved and difficult than just riding the trails from one end to another. In 14 seasons there have been only 78 riders to finish the ...

Thanks for the report, hbadventure! As for route choice, I was thinking same thing--while the West route is obvious choice for convenience from Kansas City area, it has to be the most boring of the routes...all things being relative.

Ran into a couple riders this past weekend who told us about the Adventure Palooza. Adventure Palooza 2021 https://adventureridersllc.com/palooza/ It's a 3 day moto-camping event with multiple routes so you can choose based on where you want to start.

KTM 790 almost for sure, and probably the 790R, although either would suffice. I'll let you know around March 30 when I return from a week riding and camping off a KTM 790R in Nevada and California. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. I believe a Yamaha T700 could put big grins on, too, and it's a ...

Oh, I KNOW the bike I want....but right now my needs are met with satisfaction by these 2 in the stable: 2014 KTM 300 EXC 2-stroke: (4 strokes is 2 strokes too many) 2011 BMW F800 GS: I have beat the CRAP out of this bike, but it still gives me grins In case any of you are wondering, here's what a r...

I don't know much about this bike, and it would be hard to imagine it knocking BMW off the throne, but couldn't help but notice it in this latest Klim marketing email. The face of this bike is mean! Looks ready to attack.

Thanks, savage....


Now if I could just a few million more people to do the same... I've always said, I don't want a million dollars--I want a million friends! ...and I want them each to give me $1.

Starting immediately, I have instigated a $10/mo fee for RideForum.NET members . Studies show that even a low fee will weed out most of the losers . Please mail your checks to Troy. If you pay annually, I'm offering a generous " 2 months free " price of $100 for annual membership. SILVER PREMIER MEM...

People suck.

This list needs some updating!

I know some of these options closed. There are probably some new options not in the list. Contributions welcome!

Unfortunately, we ran out of disk space, so the command I ran to revoke his membership failed.

$50/year for a photo management tool like SmugMug stings a little, but if it allows you to efficiently manage many, many Gigabytes of photos, it's probably worth the $4.17/mo. By the way, you can configure the SmugMug app on your phone so your photos are automatically uploaded into a SmugMug folder ...

Thanks for posting this, Larry. I loved having Dave along on rides. I remember his big smile the most.

...except savage's. His membership has been revoked.

My bad. I had updated my security tokens with Imgur. Apparently, this change required me to "re-authorize" RideForum for upload access. Fixed. Note, however, that I do occasionally notice errors when uploading photos using Imgur. Seems the larger the file size, the greater the chance of an error. Fo...
