    Not sure if everyone has seen this, but I have a habit of keeping a bunch of zipties on the bike for whatever comes up. Simple to install and forget till you need them on the front forks. Put one loosely around your fork tube, then slide a good handful of zipties underneath it. When you...

    Clutch problem

    So i was riding on Friday near Barstow, and after a bit extra labor in the sand I had a problem with my clutch. Couldn't get the clutch to disengage with the lever. Figured it got some air in the lines and so I bled the clutch out and got good feel back in the lever, but still nothing in the...

    Moto Gymkhana

    Took the Super Tenere out for a Moto Gymkhana practice day recently. Did surprisingly well but no where near as nimble as the 500 I usually use for these events. Still had a good time and really helps with confidence on slow speed moves. This is the GS500 I have been normally been using for...

    Yosemite Fee Increase

    Can't claim credit for finding this, but national parks are bumping fees for Yosemite and bikes are getting an unfair share. From ADVRider post http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1019043 Sign the petition if you aren't a fan of this, fee increases happen, but a bit more equal raises...

    2014s spotted at Bert's Megamall

    Found 2 2014's at Berts yesterday. Blue one was a standard, and the flat black was the loaded down model. Not a fan of all the extras on the loaded, the suspension preload adjusters look too easily damaged to me, but to each their own on that one.
