I have been reading about this and would like to do what little I can to help.
The elderly couple Lyle & Marie McCann went Missing on July 3 2010. That was the last time they were seen. They were driving a Motor home and towing a 2006 Light green, Hyundai Tucson.
The Motor home was found...
I dropped my GS while going up a hill exploring around the Elaho Gaint. The mounts for my Light Bar broke and was wondering if it could be fixed. I spoke to Piaa who made it and they no longer sell it or have parts.
I just want to thank Mark and everybody else for their hard work and time in putting on the Dead Zone.
This was my first Dead Zone and I was happily surprised how much the community was involved.
The whole event was great. :clap:
Thanks

I was changing a tube late Saturday afternoon and saw that the rubber ribbon that covers the end of the spokes is torn. Great it's 5:30 PM.
I was just wonder if anybody knew of places that sold these that would be open on a Sunday or Monday.
Thanks
I was looking to get some JB Weld. And was wondering if this is the right stuff. The box says that it has to cure for hours and I have read about guys putting right on their Bikes and riding just after.
So is this the right stuff and how long to have to wait before you can ride away.
Thanks

When the Bike is cold, the clutch play is fine. When the Bike warms up, the clutch / lever has a 1/2 of play, that was not there when the Bike was cold. It's a newish KLR, one year old. Any ideas on what could cause that?
Thanks
This is a link to a UK, BMW-GS site I belong to. Anyways it's 4 guys riding their bikes to Mongolia and back. They did have a Land Rover with them.

I, like everybody else on this site, am gettingmore and more upset aboutriding areas being closed to us.
Than to pour salt on the wound,I see logging going on in areas that we are toldwe cannot ride in. I have nothing against logging, I am just against the restrictions being put on land use...
I had a great time on the Newbie ride and have a ding in my header pipe to attest to all the fun I had.:clap:
I am now wondering if the ding can and/or should be fixed. My bike has lost of power, by it does bug me to see the ding.
Are there any shops in the lower mainland that can fix it...
I thought that before I take the rear shock off to replace the spring I should find out how you remove the spring.
I am assumming that the bottom of the shock bolts apart, but I really don't know. And it there a trick to putting the spring back on?
Thanks
Rick
Well, I should have my new spring in a day or so and I was wondering if anybody has any tips on replacing the rear shock spring.
The bike is an 08 530 exc-r.
I was wondering what happens when you do remove the shock, as there will be nothing now holding up the rear of the bike.
Thanks
Rick
Twice I have tryed to buy a stronger rear shock spring and twice I was talked out it. Well after trying to set my sag, I know I need a stronger spring.
I was wondering what rear spring rates people were using and what there riding weight is with all there gear, tools, water, etc, is.
Thanks
Rick
I have heard of a good place in the Lower Mainland to get Bike Batteries from. But I can remember the name. :spl:
Does anyone know of a good place.
Thanks
Rick
I stopped by Rubbersidedown today to have a look around and left with some riding pants.

I was not crazy about the camo, but they fit really well and look alright on. But then I am the kind of guy who looks good no matter what he wears. LOL...
I have had my 08 610TE for a year and I have just over 11,000 km on it.
The bike has been a blast and it's been great for 600 plus km a day rides. It's got the power up kit on it, but it had more than enough power with out it.
So far it's been trouble free and I am very happy with it.
