Author Message   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2018 - 05:07 pm:        So a customer was in today, he's a big ADV style rider (wee-strom, GS-A, couple other toys in the garage), and he was telling me that Touratech is about to put out a new, east coast "Mid Atlantic Back Country Discovery Route" ride map. Release date scheduled for 2/1/18. THIS, I'm gonna have to try...been looking for an excuse to toss Avon Trailmasters on the ol' Uly and start getting 'er dirty again... http://blog.touratech-usa.com/2017/12/20/august-20 18-is-mabdr-month/ http://ridebdr.com/MABDR   Etennuly Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2018 - 11:58 pm:        Joe.....did you say get her dirty again? . Would that not be just dirtier? You didn't wash the beast did you?   Etennuly Posted on Friday, January 19, 2018 - 12:05 am:        I would have been all over that upcoming ride when I was ten years younger. Looks like pure awsomness. Nowadays I feel fortunate to ride a couple hundred miles in a day around my neighborhood on smooth pavement.   Doz Posted on Friday, January 19, 2018 - 08:15 am:        Very interesting as I'm just getting a bmw g650gs up and running   Natexlh1000 Posted on Friday, January 19, 2018 - 08:44 am:        They just get more and more dirty to a point and then it just flakes off. Leaves a pesky clean spot.   Dr_greg Posted on Friday, January 19, 2018 - 11:43 am:        Nowadays I feel fortunate to ride a couple hundred miles in a day around my neighborhood on smooth pavement. Having had you lead me around that "couple hundred miles" at a merry pace a few years back...I might beg to differ . --Doc   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, January 19, 2018 - 11:56 am:        Perhaps I should say "muddy again". Had PR4's on it for this last tire cycle, since they quit making the 616. I miss my fire roads! Although, there is an annoying clean spot - a smartass coworker thought it would be funny to clean HALF of my flyscreen. I told him that's going to cause loss of control via unstoppable headshake...   Glenn Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 - 09:19 am:        After breaking a brake lever on a trip, I bought new and drilled holes in clutch and brake lever arms. This is an old dirt bike trick. It forces the break at the hole, still giving you a workable lever.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 - 04:57 pm:        My old 1980 KLX250 has stubby levers. I don't know if such a thing is available for a street bike but They work damn well at not breaking.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, February 21, 2018 - 12:55 pm:        Yep. CRG is a brand that comes to mind; there are also countless chinese knockoffs out there.
