Thanks just saw it says powerlet on it, I didn’t recognize that style plug

 

Debating whether or not I will work as an MSF instructor again next season. Kind of sucks working every weekend on the range teaching people to ride motorcycles, but I like doing it, if that makes sense. The time it takes away from recreational activities is the problem.

 

Gold for $1100 or black for free

 

Gold.

 

No way. Crash bars are more important for that cost

Im still figuring out tires. Its at least an hour to trails, so will need something that is street friendly. Either a 60/40 street or a 50/50. I also like the big block tires, but i hear TKC80 don't last long

TKC80's will get you about 3K miles, from what I hear.

Try to find something with a solid middle of the tire for on road manners, like the K60 Scout, Trailmax mission (not really a center stripe, but the offset pattern means part of the tire is always in contact) or Motoz Tractionator GPS's. I don't know if I'd ever want to go pure big block knobs, just because if I really stop and think about it, as much as I want to be mr. adv 98% of my riding is on the street haha and the riding I do do offroad I don't need barely street legal knobs to do.

 

So Michelin Anakee Wild?


I really liked this video, but wasn't 100% paying attention because im not in the market yet

bike tires are cheap compared to your tacos 35s dont cry poverty here guy lol....

70/30 or 60/40 would be great

 

Those don't look bad at all. Maybe I'll have to give them a go in the Spring. Tread reminds me of my current trailmax missions, with the big blocks and zig-zaggy pattern down the middle vs. straight horizontal grooves that can get vibe-y.

 

what about Pirelli Scorpion Rally?

 

Nah I wouldn’t buy those. Horizontal bars means low speed bumps and vibration and the lugs don’t even really look all that deep. Just my $0.02.

On a separate note, you joined ADVRider yet?

 

I wouldnt get them either. But they do come standard on the Duc Scrambler Desert Sled.

I have not, just africatwinforum.com

 

65 in Indy yesterday. Nice for riding, but unnatural!!

decided to burn all the ethanol laden swill on my carbureted bike and get some non-e in the tank with stabilizer for good measure.

warm temps meant I wasn’t the only one…



Hope ya’ll are having a safe holiday

 

This guy was enjoying himself.

 

You should really join ADVRider. Lots of good people and great source of info.
