I've just relocated from the Denver, CO area and did a good deal of riding in Colorado, getting off the pavement as much as I could including doing the COBDR. I'm in Durham, NC now. The mountains in western NC look like...

    YES Warrenty - Some Kudos for Coyote Motorsports

    I picked up a used 2012 S10 back in 2013, the original owner purchased YES for 5 years. Lucky me. Anyway, a riding buddy pointed out I have the old time chain tensioner rattle last fall. Thankfully he reminded me to get it looked at. My local dealer, Coyote Motorsports Denver took care of me...

    I know it's short notice but does anyone in the Denver area want to hit a quick right in the Golden Gate Canyon State Park area? Temps look nice for Saturday. I'm thinking mid to late morning and finished mid afternoon to ensure we get all the nice weather / temps we can. Later

    Off Route Adventures Course Review

    I took an Adv course at Off Route Adventures in Fort Collins, CO. I figured the group would like to hear how it went. http://www.offrouteadv.com/ If you’re pressed for time here’s the take away. The course is worth your time & money, if you’re fairly new to adv riding (read back roads and...

    Increased MPG in Sport Mode with Uni Filters?

    While coming home a week ago from a riding class I decided to put the bike in sport mode. I don't know what prompted me to do this, I guess for the heck of it. I was surprised to note my MPG went up, way up when running down interstate 25 at 75 mph. I found this counter intuitive. In SPORT...
