I've been the only bike in the bike parking for the last 3-4 months. Yesterday at work the bike lot was suddenly full. Its amazing how many bikes show up once the temp breaks 60.

Screw that I'm not riding in the cold. I got nothin' to prove. I just want to enjoy riding. Although I think I've ridden the bike at least once a month so far this year.

I was referring more to the "rich urban biker" crowd. There's no shame in not riding in the cold. Just 'cause some people do it, doesn't mean it's for everyone.

I love the grease on the throttle.

This is the throttle grip. Rub some grease inside your throttle grip to get a smoother, faster, easier rotation when you apply the gas.

Although, I have to confess... I do love his philosophy on maintenance and modifications.

Also rub some grease on the handle bar for maximum satisfaction!! If you are a good mechanic, you can repair the vehicle good, if you are an enginneer you can make a good engine, if you are a designer you can designe a good vehicle, if you are a truth Driver you know what your vehicle is missing (!!), If you are all the above, your vehicle will be the best when you fix it because you know every thing. This small rub greasing that i showed in this picture came from all of the above.

That bike is gross but you have to admire the effort put into it.

He's a pretty hardcore rally rider, from what I understand. Most of the serious rally competitors run multiple GPS units, and quite a few have auxiliary fuel tanks, massive lighting upgrades and all sorts of electrics.

The super long distance rally guys are their own type of crazy. I admire them for what they can pull off, even if I don't quite want to do it myself.

Jesus christ. Why is everybody so damned intent on practicing roadside medicine?

Accident -> Call 911 -> Answer dispatcher's questions clearly and succinctly -> Do exactly as dispatcher says. -> Police/fire/ems arrive -> The end.


Because the unfortunate truth is that accidents happen, and there are places where cell coverage is non-existent, or that are so far out it will take 30+ minutes (on a good day!) for an ambulance to reach you. The last accident my wife and I stopped at to help, another guy had to go ride up the road for another 15minutes before he got enough cell coverage to call 911.

Reasons like this are why I encourage everyone who rides to take a CPR class, and learn basic first aid. Would you rather have someone with half a clue taking charge of your accident scene, or would you rather have a bunch of people who mean well but are completely ignorant standing there doing nothing, or worse, moving you?

I never would have thought something that big could maneuver that well.

Neither did I till I started riding one! A lot of the bigger sport tourers get a bad rap because they are so big and heavy, but once moving, they are really pretty nimble. Sure, it's not Motard nimble, but still :)

Guy I compete with in the nerdiest form of racing (r/c :downs: ) just built this in preparation for some big gravel ride up in WI. He bought a wrecked Ninja 650 and gave it an adventure bike makeover. Older RM forks, a (much longer the stocker) R1 shock, some spoked wheels and dual sport tires and you get this.

That's loving awesome, I'd ride the poo poo out of it.
