    talk me out of a ktm 640 adventure

    This is going back 20+ years, but I think that company prepped Audis for Buffum...did a lot of Mits work...built Hyundais for Choinere. I knew several of those guys when I lived in VT. I was a road racer. All the racers knew each other, no matter the type of racing. How's the bike? Looks like I...

    talk me out of a ktm 640 adventure

    I think the enduros are shakier than the Adv's. The vibration bothers me for the first 15 minutes of a street ride. Then everything goes numb and I feel fine. I think it feels more like a paint shaker than a washing machine. I'd be cool with a washing machine... bb

    California smog check for Light Duty Diesels

    I'm not so sure this is true. Using biofuels in my diesel vehicles has reduced MPGs and power. A gallon of veggie diesel has fewer BTUs than a gallon of dino diesel. There is a valuable study on fuel additives, however, that supports your last statement: using veggie diesel s a fuel additive...

    talk me out of a ktm 640 adventure

    There are a few minor tweaks required of earlier LC4's (640E and 640Adv). But they are just a bulletproof as the later models. So, I would not shy away from an earlier one. Creeper (on AdvRider) was very helpful to me in my purchase of a used '01 LC4E. It is the most fun and versatile bike I...

    Several Flip-pac's for sale, some under $1000

    This one is mine. You can see it here in the ExPo Vehicles for sale. I am NOT selling the FP separately. I hope to keep it and the truck. My wife is not very keen on the truck, however. Ain't Momma happy; ain't no one happy... So, I would sell the truck separately and try to find another truck...

    BMW? Yamaha? Kawasaki? Suzuki?

    If you plan on real Adventure Touring, I'd look at the load capacity of the DRZ. I doubt it can carry 1/4th of what the KLR or DR can carry. But it is a better bike in every other way. Lighter, nimbler, better suspension... The other thing I considered when shopping for a similar bike was air-...

    BMW? Yamaha? Kawasaki? Suzuki?

    I think the KTM Adv tank is 28 litres. I had one but I forgot the capacity. I swear by my existing KTM. It's an '01 640E (enduro). I have it set up for motard and dirt wheels/tires. It is the best bike i have ever owned and find the maintenance an easy do-it-yourself operation. I find the 640...

    Bicycle Racks

    We went low tech with our bikes. Rather than figuring some elaborate contraption that we'd have to remove to get in and out of the back of our (now sold) van. We mounted them on the front. See: This rack was about $75 bucks... A concern I had was for the cooling. I think there is plenty of...
