Well, JamesJWeg brought up talk of the Taproom, so I'll defer to him to suggest a time. Paging JJW.....
I am off all day Monday and Tuesday if anyone wants to ride also.

kliff · 07-31-2008, 04:49 AM

James hasn't checked in since we named the thread....hope it didn't P.O. him.....maybe he's out riding....

Me and my monkee · 07-31-2008, 01:35 PM

I guess we'll see if JJW chimes in over the next few days, and if not make plans ourselves.

Anyone know any gas stations that sell ethanol free gas? I only know of one just south of exit 5 in SC (Corner of Hwy 25 and Ascauga Lake Rd.), but everywhere I stop in Disgusta has that 10% ethanol sticker on the pump. My SV650 has been running like crap for the past month, and I just moved back here 2 months ago. Just enough time to burn through my NC gas, and fill up with GA gas. I have a slip on and no rejetting, so there was always a little popping on decel, but now its mor like backfiring, and below 4000 rpm is all stumbly, esp. at steady throttle.

I had to open the pilot adjustment screws on everything I have, Yami's and Urals, 1/2 turn approx, and go from 87 to 89 octane.... still lost about 5-10 mpg on everything to... 4-7 on the cages.
It costs more, doesn't go as far, so you need to buy more....yeah, adding alcohol really helps. Just NOT the consumer!

A few pics from last evening's ride after the thunderstorms passed. Just outside of Gray GA.

kliff · 07-31-2008, 04:41 PM

I thought you had a KLR?????

Great pics tho!

canoli · 07-31-2008, 04:54 PM

Wow.. nice shots. Looks like great riding around there.

Google says that you are about 120 miles outside Augusta, have to do a lot of highway riding or is it a lot of cool back roads?

I sold it and bought the DL1000. I'm going to try and find a good deal on a DRS 400 S soon.

Great backroads, great dirt roads, lots of mom and pop eats too!

kliff · 08-01-2008, 04:45 AM

I hear ya! Got a DR350 coming, but sorta shoppping for something a little newer, and waverring between a DRZ400S and a DR650 myself....

So far, the DRZ400S is in the lead...but who knows what'll happen between now, and when I get the cash...LOL

I have been looking for Ethanol Free gas myself and so for ever station here in SC has it.

halfcab · 08-01-2008, 05:26 AM

I would lean toward the DRZ if your planning on riding dirt more then pavement, it a great do anything bike. With the right mods my DRZ performed nicely.

I bleed Orange now (again) with two KTM's and wanting to add a third, I really like my LC4 for Dual Sporting.
