    AltRider’s Taste of Dakar Weekend

    I went. It was good...nice to meet one of our board members on the only other ST there (in a group of about 50 BMWs, heheh). This was the first time I'd taken the ST off road...had my Conti TKC80 on the front, so it was pretty damn good I gotta admit. (Be sure to lower the air pressure on...

    Alt Rider crash bar install problem

    Alt Rider crash bar install problem

    Long Beach International Motorcycle Show

    I was there first thing Friday nite. Saw three STs in the parking lot, one very dirty with the knobby TKC tires...ooooh, dirt cred, heheh. Bought some AltRider crash bars but they wouldn't give me a show special discount, bummer. At least I didn't have to pay shipping. The Touratech booth...
