Thought it worth a thread discussing/detailing the "incentives" manufacturers offer, usually at the end of season/end of year. Apparently there was a "2011 KTM Fall Sales incentive program" in October. Here's what I could find re details: From October 24th 2011 - October 31st 2011: Option 1 )...

In the interest of maintaining sanity, I felt it necessary to create a thread for those thick skinned enough to ride during the winter months :o I'm planning on heading Northward (where's that Sea to Sky section again ?) tomorrow, the 10th. Will be riding Furry Creek, Brittania, and perhaps...

Need a decent light for the 690, and hoping someone can chime in re the Trailtech X2 halogen ? KTM Bryon was nice enough to let me try the HID X2, and its awesome, but not street legal. Any feedback/advice re improving the "woeful" stock lamp would be appreciated. Thanks.

I need to get the 7500km service done, and would appreciate hearing from other's re the competence of the local (lower mainland) service shops; where to go, where to avoid, etc... I can live with less than stellar customer service, so long as the mechanics know what they're doing... Thanks.

I'm about to put a pair of Michelin Cross AC10s on my Beta; DOT approved, aggressive tread, reversible, and more: http://www.michelinmotorcycle.com/index.cfm?event=CrossAC10 I've read that some prefer an MT21 front, but I'll try a matched pair to start. Anyone tried these yet ? Thanks.

Gate was closed today at the entrance to the Furry Creek trails above the golf course. This is due to shooting in the area (we have repeatedly witnessed innumerable piles of shotgun shells littered everywhere). While initially "No Shooting" signs were erected, these signs were shot at/up, and...

With the addition of a non street-legal steed to our stable, I'm faced with the inevitable towing conundrum. Thankfully there's no shortage of trailer options available, but I'd appreciate input from the vast treasure trove of experience that DSBC is, as I'd hate to head down the wrong road...

Hi all, I'm searching for a dirt bike for my girl friend, who's around 5' tall. While she's got a road ride, we need a smaller, lighter ride, but one that can still handle rougher terrain, and low enough that she can dab when necessary. Not specific to any brands, but does need to have electric...

Hey gang, I'm lookin to move to a more dirt oriented ride, and have whittled my choices down to either a Husky or a Beta. The Beta RR 400 or 450, or the Husky TE310. Would greatly appreciate any/all opinions re one or the other, ie: parts (availability), warranty, reliability, after market...

Hi all, Thought I'd start a thread for those riding out to the show. (weather permitting) I'm riding out to the MC show in Abbotsford to do a shift in the DSBC booth on Sunday (23rd), and wondered if anyone wanted to tag along ? If you're planning on seeing the show on Sunday, and want to take...

With an homage to all the great rides that came out of the "weekday newbie ride" thread (http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/showthread.php?7784-Weekday-Newbie-rides), and a tip of the helmet to MtB :clap:, here's a fresh forum, to post any/all 2011 newbie rides ! As not all our rides were during...

Winterization; A dirty word to some, a necessary evil to others. While I intend to ride throughout the year, if your bikes coming off the road/going into storage for a few months (sniff...) you need to prepare it for hibernation properly. Here's what I've put together re BASIC (read: minimum)...

Heading out tomorrow morn from Vancouver for the newbie ride - those looking for something more enjoyable than taking the #1 are welcome to join me. If other groups/riders would like to meet up at some point, that would also be welcome: Here's my proposed route, if anyone can comment/make...

Hi All, I finally got a pair of Heidenau K-60s mounted on my BMW F650 GS (twin). While I'm a relatively new rider (started this year), I'm pleasantly surprised in that they arent that much noisier than the stock Bridgestone Battle Wings, and while they certainly feel different - ie: softer...
