offroad excursion...

[KnightofNi]

Wish I had a dualsport to tag along one. I don't know if Travis wants me around though, his shit breaks around me. 

you're gonna have to buy one in the next 2 weeks 

and i don't mind you being there. i just have to remember not to try and cross any streams 

NW PA actually.

Oh, and it's not orange, it's black

nw PA..we could possibly meet somewhere in the middle...or WV if i can get out of work early enough.

Bulldogs2k has a Honda 230 and lives in S.E. Virginia. Sound like just his kinda deal. Send him a PM.

i think i'll post up on a few local boards too. thanks for the idea!

I don't know how well this is put together, but when I lived in NY it was getting going.

I just found this thread, and HELL YA i'm down!  Although, N.E. is a bit of a stretch for my CRF230l.....(Though my ass would fail before the bike would). 

[KnightofNi]

i'm just outside of philly. I can prob get around 4 hrs away after work on thurs if you know anywhere down that way.

Wish I had an offroad bike, I would definitely be into that.  If you want any info about ultr-light compact camping gear or food/ drink let me know and I will try to help.

get dehydrated food, cheaper than MREs and just add 2 cups of boiling water. have fun

that's pretty much what I meant by MREs. I'm an ARMY brat and anything of that nature is considered part of it. (i still have quite a few of the heater packs stored away)

I'll check with my riding budy who is a GPS guru.  If you're willing to ride down here, we can plan out a place to camp, ride, and ride some more.  What do you have?

You can ghetto balance.  2 jacks stands and a greased up broom stick (insert anal joke here)

Put the broom stick through the wheel where the axle goes and put it on the jack stand so it won't touch the ground.  Rotate 1/4 turns and wait.  It should rotate to heavy side down.  if it doesn't it's balanced, if it does rotate to a heavy bottom, the top is where you put your weights. 

I did this to the monster before I got a balancer and it worked fine.  Make sure to triple check everything.

[He Man]

I want a DRZ-400 now. you make me want to cry.

you lazy make the beast with two backser, I know you don't want to clean anything but c'mon!

it's $30 to have them mount and balance the tire. i'm fine with that. i can and will do my own tire changes if i need to, but they can generally do all of it in the time it takes me to just get the tire off the rim.

I have a DRZ 400 and I am not afraid to use it! 

[bulldogs2k]

I want a DRZ 400sm....I just need to figure out how to buy the SM and a DUC at the same time.....  Maybe I can sell the house  ....or trade in my CRF230l, but that bike is stupid easy to maintain, and not to mention the 70 mpg it gets with my not so small frame  .

I'll check with my friend once he gets back from Maine.  What sort of time frame are you looking at?  I'm thinking NC mountains or George Washington National Park in Va.

Argh!!  Missing my DR!    

Sounds like fun T! 

Gonna post up some more "getting stuck in the water" clips, I hope?!
