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...

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...

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...
