    Northward ho! Getting squishy in Squamish, and beyond...

    This will be Adventure with a capital "A". Last gas stop (before the great unknown) is in Goldbridge. We'll be moving quickly, as there's alot of ground to cover prior to getting to the good stuff (which starts past Tyax). This will be a long day, and may result in: a) riding home in the dark b)...

    bc ferries and motos

    I've avoided ferries for some time, but the rules as they used to be (may still be) are bikes are first on/first off. Here's the related bits from the FAQ: Q: Do you handle motorcycles differently from other vehicles? A: Yes. Here are some things you should know: The motorcycle fare is up to...

    You can join us, help check the grammar on all the park signs and interview the locals (wildlife) re any notable transgressions. :ROFLMAO:

    Northward ho! Getting squishy in Squamish, and beyond...

    Heading up/past Mud Lakes on Friday. All that are self-sufficient (carry tools, tubes, water, etc.. and know how to use them) and have proper tires are welcome to join. Prolly head back East along the Yalakom, and then take the Duffy home out of Lillooet, vs the very long and slow going FSRs...

    Does anybody have a KTM 690 Enduro R?

    @04klr - I've had my share of 690s, and yes they're awesome. (I'm actually the antagonist in this story, and have been pushing @Reza to check out a 690 ;)). As with anything there are compromises, but the 690 is the closest thing to one bike that might be able to just do it all (save for the...

    Battle Royale! Post up yer epic head to head bike comparisons here!

    Provided yer talking 950 adventure and not 950 Super Enduro, they're near identical, save for the 950 is carb'ed, and the 990 is fuel injected. Pick yer poison, although the FI 990's were well sorted post 2010'ish...

    Battle Royale! Post up yer epic head to head bike comparisons here!

    790 may already be a relic, as 890 is coming next year. Sadly, there's also some evidence they'll be made in China and/or India. Depending on how/what you ride - if you know of the greatness of the 990, you'll only be disappointed with the 790. If your needs are simpler, and you dont...

    Dont let my "jaded" :p perspective deter you. As per @leebob's point- the 790 is a HUGE step up for many, and thats great. I was "cursed" with having come from the ultimate adventure bike - the 990. Alas... That being said, I give you a seriously fixed/farkled 790:
