One problem...ya'll ain't got a V-Strom representative in your group. Give me a holler next time you ride and I'll come balance the group.

Sure, waited till I had to leave to test out my on-the-fly carb vent upgrade to take a picture. I know us NJ guys are ugly but how often am I gonna get to do some good dual sport riding with some good people 1000 miles from home.
Seriously, it was a great time (after walmart saved my cold bones) and I really hope we can get a good weekend of riding in two weeks. -Keith PS, Anyone of you guys ever come east, look me up for a ride! |

 Have you done much ADVtype riding on that new 400? I did not get to test it out. You do know that we had our eye on the 400 before someone offered up the 200

I absolutely have to go with you guys the next time there's a ride but being a total newb, I'm a little intimidated. Any recommendations to get acclimated to your type of ride?

Follow Buzzez around on his next gravel run....
You will be assimilated.Actually there are riders at all levels...fast guys, well ....go fast....the more cautious types play sweeper.....depending on who goes on that particular ride...sometimes that's me....  Feel free to come on the next ride.... Quote:

I would like to try and join you guys for one of these rides as well, but I notice most are on lighter thumpers, not pig GS's like mine. Not sure you would have the patience for me, as my experience off road is limited to recent rides on gravel close to home, and some experience 30 yrs ago (that probably doesn't count) on a little Yamaha 125 enduro.
I'm considering at least mounting knobs on the GS instead of the skittish Tourances, but I sure like a spirited ride on pavement as well! Anyway, I'll keep monitoring this thread and hope to someday catch up with few of you. Sure enjoy the ride reports ... keep 'em coming!

We rode in Potosi 2 weeks ago and there were 3 GS's.....honz was leading that ride on his. I have also been on other rides following Buzzez on his, where once he was riding 2 up with his GF. ....I never see them, not even tail lights until they stop....
 They ride these on gravel roads like flat tracking dirt bikes. Quote:

Sooner or later I'll make one and I'm sure you guys will get some good laughs at my expense, unless of course, I can keep it upright the entire time!
