My buddies green 2008 KLR650 caught fire while riding on Highway 1 near Langley. Possibly a wiring short under the seat - seat caught fire at 110kph, burnt his jacket. In the video you can hear the tires explode and then the fuel tank blew up! Apparently there was a recall for the wire...

My friends 2008 KLR caught fire in Langley today on HWY 1. (not a DSBC inmate). He pulled over when he saw white smoke out the back and the flames quickly engulfed the bike. He burned his hand and his jacket and pants were burned. The gas tank exploded in a 10' flaming blowtorch and the bike...

I know this is last minute notice but if anyone wants to ride tomorrow.... I'm heading up on the Sea to Sky on Tuesday on my KLR. Meeting a round the world traveller, Noah, in Whistler at 10.30am. His ADV report is here. From there we head up through Pemberton, Seton Portage around Carpenter...

Good luck with that. Glad you found one. I love my 640 - so much fun :-)

A KTM butterfly visited us while we took a break Relaxing at the Sasquatch hot pools

What a day!! Sorry to hear of the injuries to BB! As the original group of 15 something bikes split up a few times here's the saga of our splinter factions ride!! The detour took us all at the back of the group by surprise as we were just following the pack like lemmings diving off a...

Hi Zoo, Yes that was me you met on 10 June last year after our Lillooet run. You were with your brother and I was with all the guys from the lower mainland. Good to chat again. Heres' a pic of that day at that restaurant with Farp and the gang. My KLR is on the far left. That sounds like a...

My brother is visiting from S.Africa in June and I'm planning a 6 day ride with him from North Vancouver. We'll be riding a KLR 650 and KTM 640 and doing 4-500km/day - hopefully more offroad than asphalt. :D I'm thinking of camping and hotels/motels and others can join us even if it's only for...

I cannot find this ride on DSBC?? :confused: I'm keen to do this ride leaving from North Vancouver via Pemberton and Lilloet. Is anyone going. Would be good to have a group ride up together. Over 130 bikes are registered so far.:) Not sure why this is not listed on this years major rides...

Dropped my bike in greasy mud last year and decided to fit the SW-Motech guards. These were so easy to install, a perfect fit and very strong. I'd recommend them. On further inspection of my bike I noted that the radiator fan was stuck against the radiator so I carefully bent the 3 attachment...
