Except along the tracks or jumping the hills, which would be fun.

I would like to hear from Eddy and Andy about how different this is from the GS qualifying stuff they did. I mean tightness on the single track and the rutted hills at the platto and the donut. I would imagine the stuff at the GS would be much more difficult. This is pretty easy stuff, but good training.

Jeremy - forgot to tell you that the GPS is back in action. Plugged it into the computer, called Garmin, did a software update, and - voila - appears to be good as new! Thanks again for the problem-solving tip.

AAARGH!!

Ifin ya go to Dr Keeney (rides mc offroad/dirt) you will feel no pain , Guy. Even after he put in the implant no pain and no pain after the novacaine wore off. Saved the scrip for when I get bucked off the high side and 'fook' up my back/legs

Who has the best prices for Heidenau tires for the 12GS? Jersey Mark and I need to order a set.
RevZilla and Bike Bandit are both around $320 a set, delivered.

Sorry guys...running late & won't make it to the training grounds...riding around Williamsburg & West Point.

Nicole had her first OH SHIT!!! Moment today.

A little dirt in the gear...she pushed a little hard on this dirt road...

Proud of her...she knew right away what she did & is hopping right back on after a 35 mph low side on this road.

Guy Young · 12-01-2012, 10:30 AM

MADSTROM · 12-01-2012, 10:33 AM

She needs some serious motorcycle boots with real ankle protection.

Her Sidi boots are on order. We ordered them Wednesday. She has motor cross boots, but does not like the look. After this she will always wear boots!!! Her calf is gonna have a bruise and she said right after it,"I should be wearing my boots." I think she learned the easy & not so hard way.

skychs · 12-01-2012, 12:11 PM

Are those her new Gerbings pants?.

I'll second this. I just ordered a pilot power from him for the SV Thursday, and picked it up Friday afternoon.

On a side note, the SV is sold now. Now to search for a WR250R.

Michhub · 12-01-2012, 01:58 PM

As I said at lunch Friday...we are full of ideas (some bad) but mostly expensive

I ordered the Sidi Adventure Gore Tex boots today...found what I think was a wicked good deal on Ebay...$329...
