    There's some primitive camping up in the National Forest. Several campgrounds around the lakes or on the river. Quite a few places around the lake where you can just ride down and pitch a tent without a problem. And I've got 5 acres that you're welcome to camp on as well.

    Who's up for an ADV lunch on Sunday, away from the pirate gathering? I'm off this Sunday and need an excuse for a ride and moto fellowship.

    Memphis is good. Got some good Q over there.

    I dunno. I'm open to suggestions. I'm ready for a day trip to somewhere though. Tired of only commuting on the bike.

    I enjoy it too. I even like listening to the bikes. But I like Nitro drags and things that go boom too. Yeah there are dipshits, but really there are dipshits involved in anything you do.

    Last night I put a Carbon VALE Slip On Two Brothers exhaust on the 650GS. Today I'm ordering a silencer tip, to take the volume down. Holy Cow, this Two Bros is loud.

    I'm hoping to be in Huntsville Saturday, to pick up a van. I planned to get it last weekend but my plans got changed. I figure if I roll up HWY23 before 9am, I should be fine. I may take the TAT to 123, on my way home, Saturday afternoon. Should I be worried about the dual sport pirates? :lol3

    I run the same exhaust, that tip makes a noticeable difference.

    Greetings goat lovers. Blew a fork seal on my KTM Sunday, wondering if anyone has any suggestions on who to let service my forks? Bill Eddy, Travis? Danny Williams is prolly too backed up.

    I dunno if you know Rick Owens or not? He has the shop above the Razorback Riders Camp near Mill Creek. I hear he left Eddys and is doing service out of there. He is the go to guru for KTM...or any other bike. I've got his number if you need it.

    Personally I'd do it myself, there isnt much to it. I've got a fork seal driver that will probably work if you need it. Read up on servicing forks/seals, it's not hard at all. If I have time I could help you, but I'm pretty busy the next 2 or 3 weeks.

    I would not take them to any of the mosikkle shops, they will rape you.

    X2, if they do service they will do it reasonable there. Call up Josh and ask him.
