    Taking Chances...Toronto to St John's via the Translab

    I'm also posting this in ADV which is why some of this may seem obvious. It was a rainy spring and downright cold in St John's this year. Perhaps that is the why the price of a used bike seemed elevated once the fair weather hit. Further there just didn't seem to be any that I liked ...er not...

    Customization

    One of the best youtube videos I have stumbled across for ideas. Some real skills at work here. It's worth watching all 4 parts of the video.

    A new project started today.

    Nothing like a week of rain to get the wrenches turning. With no understanding of what is involved, mechanical knowledge or connections with people who have done this before, I have jumped into a project bike. You know: a "Barn Find". It's going to be fun! I'm going to stumble my way...

    Kawasaki KE100/G5 parts wanted

    It's a long shot that anyone would have parts for this bike but putting it out there just in case. I might even buy a whole parts bike if one were to be found.

    fun trip

    I really enjoyed this video. I really like to watch regular guys ride instead of pros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDl0NRpoddI

    Discussion point: Dual sport or conversion?

    I've been wanting a dual sport for a long time. While my finances still dictate I don't buy any more toys I still shop and think about the possibilities. Partly because I'm a big, fat guy but also because I like the idea of riding my bike to the trails I gravitate towards 350cc and up bikes...

    Looking for a few things....

    Hey team, SO there are two things I want to do to the Dero this year. Gel seat, and Highway pegs mounted to my SW Motech crash bars. For the pegs there is an abundance of inexpensive options. What I need is a good sturdy clamp with an inside diameter of about 23.5 mm. I know I can get a...

    The 2016 Soiree

    Last year's event was a success in my books. I had great fun and it was really interesting to put faces to the posts. This year I have had 3 people suggest Lockston Path provincial park already. This is located on the Bonavista peninsula and you only have to read the discovery trail thread to...

    La Manche Valley Road?

    So I had a go at this but it was simply too rough for the beast. At least by myself anyway. I had a hell of a time getting the bike turned around as the trail was only a few inches wider than my bike is long....and it was covered in water. It looks like a very interesting trail for a lighter...

    Big Bore Bike Trails.

    This is the place for posting routes and trails suitable for large displacement adventure/dual sport bikes. 1190, GSA, Super Tenere, Varadero and so on. Not every trail can (or should) be attempted by these bikes. Sure some expert riders can ride a GSA like a dirt bike. And pick it up off the...

    neeeeew tiiiiiiiressssss!

    Gotta love that new tire feeling! Took off the Heidenaus. The rear had around 13k on it and was bald and square. I`m cheap and certainly got my money`s worth! Replaced them with some Shinko 705 radials (did I mention I am cheap?) which actually had pretty good reviews. They were on a big...

    Breakdown Planning

    Because I had a few (luckily) minor bike issues at the Soiree and have had occasional intermittent electrical issues (finally found and fixed) I've been turning my thoughts to what to do when something goes wrong. The flat I had on Fogo island could have been very serious as there just isn't...

    Iron Butt this weekend anyone?

    I mentioned this before but in person and not on the forum. I don't have a lot of time outside of booked vacation this summer. So weekends are really the best I can do. This weekend is looking quite nice with temps neither very hot or cold and little chance of precip. Good riding weather...

    EAT FRESH! (camp cooking thread)

    I haven't noticed a thread for camp food so I thought I better start one. I was having a chat with Gnu today and was horrified to learn that he was thinking of eating dehydrated food at the Dildo Run. ACK! Is there a barf smiley? He asked me to write down some of the tips I was giving him...

    2002 Honda XR200

    ok the response has been underwhelming. price reduced to 1200. Looking to sell a 2002 Honda XR200 dirtbike. 2 new tires and wheel bearings. She's a lot of fun but I dont have a trailer or a car that tows so the same trails over and over get stale. Looking for something around 1500...
