    Anyone near Dayton, OH?

    Wrong part of the country as almost every road is paved. I live in Springfield. There are some fabulous paved roads in the SE part of the state. St. Rt. 555 is one. Best unpaved is Wayne National or Perry State forest. A riding permit will be needed.

    What year?

    Don't overlook a Gen 1. They are great bikes. You can customize it to your liking and they are very inexpensive. A flash (done by Anthony, a forum member), 14 clutch basket, and a rear shock revalve/spring will make the bike even better. There is a factory heated grip kit you can add too. Very...

    To ES or not to ES

    Not so fast! The Gen 1 has a great fork. Wide range of adjust-ability. The rear shock is not that bad either. For $350 or so Norwest can spring and damp it for your needs. Great capability now. Plus to make changes its just a handle knob change for preload and a twist for rebound. The...

    Later clutch basket,does it really make a difference?

    I did mine after 6000 miles on a 2012. Big difference. The 3800 rpm vibe gone but also the walnut in a can rattle is also gone. Quiet idle!
