Re: Opinions Please on 2009 WR250R

I remembered Big Dog had a WR and I think he liked it. Here is the link, I just skimmed it but as usual for him it looks detailed. I hope this helps.

Have you thought about a Rekluse clutch? Having a Rekluse and a steering damper are now must haves in my book.

Re: SPOT Messenger

Wow, she broke it good. When I saw the x-ray I thought surgery, but you just don't know. Make sure she does her Physical Therapy! I didn't follow through and I'm paying for it now.

Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Wanted the XR 75, but parents wouldn't go for it so I took all of the lights off the XL ...

Re: Independence Day Weekend Ride?

Troy put me down in pencil for this ride. It will all depend on my shoulder rehab and of course permission from the family. Daryl, man it would be great if you could ride with me! I do know from years past that the 4th is a pretty big deal for you and your family. Think there is a real possibility ...

Re: 5 trails, 5 states, 5 days

Great ride report....thanks for sharing. This coming May I'm planning on riding my GS back East in the Great Smokey mountain area of North Carolina. Great GS riding but also some really good mountain bike riding. Thinking that I couldn't haul my MB on my GS, I've been looking into renting a MB at t...

Re: 1984 Honda XL350R Needs our help!

I was going to say try the XL 250 because they are likely the same. I remember a guy in high school had one of these and thought it was the fastest around. That was until he raced my Yamaha IT 250 E, it wasn't even close :lol:

Re: It's all about the kids...should it be?

Well Troy if the ride was on Saturday I could attend, just not Sunday because of the soccer game. What I didn't add that on Sunday after the soccer game I'm picking my son up for a boy scout camping trip. So I'm putting my children first and me second which means no riding for me. My daughters socce...

Re: 2014 Hillbilly Dualsport Tour

Really enjoyed the ride and I will do it again! Phil is too kind, he is the one with mad skills I didn’t see him put a foot down once. He even jumped a log, which at first appeared to be a shadow across the road, at 40ish mph. He also didn’t mention having to help me pick up the F800 after a small g...

Re: New Dual Sporter

Welcome and it seems like this question comes up often. As others have said there is no perfect dual sport bike and they are correct. For my money the DRZ400 comes the closest as it will do everything well and you will be able to determine what type of terrain you like best. If you notice a lot of u...

Re: LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2-DAY!

Well did you break your wrist or not???? It is almost as good as mine when I broke three ribs tripping over a hose at the gas station with our bikes in the back of your truck. :D

Either way I hope you heal up quickly.
