I passed a couple of (experienced looking) DS riders heading south on the Pat Bay @ about 10:30 am today, and I was just wondering if they participated here? One was riding a Blue & Orange Adventure and the other was on an older white bike that my son thought was a Honda.

I'm just trying to take inventory of those of us who don't mind going riding even if it's ugly out. So how would you rate yourself in general(what will you go out in, what will you stop at): A - Anytime, all conditions B - Stop riding when I can no longer see (rain sheeting on Goggles or...

I'm hoping to find someone really good at setting up a bike. I've been trying my best at playing with it, but frankly I just don't know enough and I'm getting frustrated. I realize that many of my issues are rider related, but I'm sure I'll settle down a lot with proper setup. I've been told...

We (the family) just got back from Vancouver today, and got to watch Galiano burn on the ferry ride back. While we were watching the bombers work I heard about Benson. So......what's left?

So one of my indicators is broken, as well as my multi switch (horn, kill, headlight) and I'd like to salvage them. What adhesive could I use that might work and last? At the end of the ride that caused this damage there was some talk of this around the table. Unfortunately all I picked up...

So upon getting home after our ride on Sunday, I proceed to change, but get a gasped "what is that?!" from Tracy when I take my shirt off. Unaware of anything that should cause such a reaction, I look down and find this on my stomach. While it may not compare to some other's toes, I thought...

Since I put a little extra bend in my bar on Sunday, I thought I would get everyone's opinion on replacements. I figure I should go taller and probably change the bend, but I really don't know what I should be looking for or at. I'm 5'9" riding a DRZ400e with the stock bar. As I understand...

Well I finally dropped my bike off to be DS'd today (but my appointment isn't until thursday), so hopefully I'll be on the street for the weekend. If all goes well, is there anyone not going to "the Zone" who might be up for a ride? It's been 5 weeks since I beat myself up on Benson with...

Looking at the manual, it is recommending Engine Oil for the airfilter. When I inquired at the shop about what to use, they sold me the sticky air filter oil. And I used it a few times, till I got access to the manual. Could I have damaged my bike as a result? Do some still recommend the...

So, can anyone tell me why a Canadian Kawasaki ZZ250R costs $6299.00 msrp while an American Kawasaki Ninja 250R costs $2999.00 msrp (about$3450.00 CDN)? Considering they are virtually the same bike (a few minor differences), double seems a bit much. I think I'll see what it'll take to get...

I never know if these videos are real, but WOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n23_IsU4Uic&search=Shamu

Can anyone tell me about my suspension adjustments? I see the different adjusters, but I don't know what each one is. I'd like to return the bike to it's stock settings (I bought the bike used and question it's setup) and then play with them from there.

I posted something in the KTM forum ( http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/forum5/1914.html ) about trying to find out about Spunky's and Action, but at this point I'd like to open it up. So... Which Dealers do you love, and which do you love to hate? Please PM me so as not to offend any sensitive...

Since I'm considering a KTM, I'd like everyones input and experience with the different shops. Please PM me though, since some opinions might offend others.

Well, my wife has really been enjoying her new hobby, but she's been wanting a bit of a "burn". Not a burn like an experienced rider's idea of one, but that of a 6th time on a bike kind. Considering she's only gone out when we've had the boy on his PW50, I'd say she's been terribly patient. So...

I just got a nice SLR digital camera that I'd like to bring with me when I ride. The problem is that I don't want to scrap it when I turf. Anyone come across a good system for protecting them on the trail?

I was at Action Motorsports today, and I must say that I found the 450EXC mighty appealing. Just wondering if anyone has ridden one? It's been inferred by some that it's grunt and pop could be hard to use. If so, does that mean the 525 is a bear? Keep in mind that I'm thinking for trail use.

So after riding on Sunday, I couldn't help but think that there has to be a lighter way to travel. I mean, how much stuff do we duplicate in our packs when we ride? So here is what I'm proposing: #1 - Everyone put together a list of the minimum stuff needed just to ride to meet up with others...

I've got a DRZ400E and I'm wondering how far I should expect to be able to go on a Tank? Until I started looking at a ride for tomorrow, I hadn't though much about it. So..... How far is everyone getting on a Tank? What kind of bike? Stock Tank? Volume?

So....DRZ Cam Chain Tensioners? Who's had problems? Who's running a manual tensioner? (Did you have signs of trouble?) Who's been running the Auto forever without problem? The reason I ask is that I just picked up a little used 2001 DRZ400E, and I'd like to find out more about this issue. I've...
