I had a great time, another successful ride.

Rick and Jim- thanks for handling the business ends of it

You guys are rocking the party. wish i could make it

You guys may want to check this place out- https://www.facebook.com/Twin-Hills-Cycle-Ranch-195473783841635/ They have everything from fire roads to super technical stuff the dorks with trials bikes play on. I have a hematoma on my hip that is from 2009 i got riding there but don't let that scare you...

I did not mean to try it out on a ride. I would put a little gas in it and hang it over a bucket and check it everyday until the bag is jelly and you have a mess to deal with. probably best to do it in a neighbors garage.

I am in with 3 others so far. 4 counting Jim ( I am not sure if Jim over there is the same Jim as here???)

regarding the longevity of a camel back holding gas--- I will bring an old bladder to the ride on sunday if you would like to run a trial. it is super old and has been out of service for a while so no loss to test.

the two rides were done separately but we are working on joining them up.

Interesting, so this is a soft bladder to carry gasoline externally on your bike. I'd think soslow would be all over this. hahahaha from the website: Note: The Gas Bag Fuel Safe Bladder is not a portable or long-term fuel storage container as described by ASTM, EPA, ARB or other state or federal ag...

RIDE IS OFF!!! we will try again next weekend for better weather.

the weather is not looking great, I will post up if the ride is OFF early sat morning.

Hello everybody, We have a moderately paced ride set up for saturday. Please join if you can, we will have lots of fun and pretty good bbq. The company we keep is a bit marginal but at least the bikes are nice. Will be leaving from the usual sonic in White Settlement and have lunch at Loco Coyote. T...

Wow Shane, that is awesome. I want a button for sure on my next bike. Are you looking at a pure mx bike or thinking about the cross country machines. You mentioned KTM and totally agree with you. I like the new Yam YZ250x and think the ktm 350xc may be the perfect biek for me. I have also been consi...

are you transitioning away from dirt? you have a ninja as well? i did not know that.

I have looked at that place. you can rent the whole track mid week for 1500 bucks, 5 people. I am down for that sometime, we will be ballers. my buddy and i got nocona race track to ourselves on mlk weekend. we showed up- nobody at the gate but the track is freshly prepped. go to the little house in...

katoom! there is something cool about kicking a bike but my next one will have a button for sure.

most likely and plus 1

do you find that it works well on the GS? I could see how on a dirt(ish) bike with abs it could be great because you get braking without compression. When i rode the telelever last (it was 15 year ago), I found the front end felt very vague on the brakes and in corners. I am sure it would be somethi...

next you are going to tell me that 2x4s are not 2"x4".

somebody clearly has never worked construction.

looks like a cross between the old yamaha GTS 1000, a bimota tesi and a boss hoss. 'They' used to say that swingarm front ends were the future and BMW used that silly telelever set up (maybe they still do?) on lots of stuff. I have ridden a bmw r1200s with the telelever and it felt odd. Seems it is ...

i have raced with torn, they are really well run events. way better than the local tmx races i would do, you feel like a real racer at a real race. well at least until it starts, then i am back to being a very non-real racer in a very real race. all kidding aside, torn is awesome and i am hoping to ...

Wow, what an awesome ride and starting right by my house. I cannot ride that day but I may come by in the morning to say hi.

wake up and ride. don't be scared.

Hello everybody,
We are planning a ride this saturday leaving from McKinney at 8:30. details here: https://www.meetup.com/Texas-SportBike- ... 243708629/

Hope you can make it.

Mike
