Roseann (Desert Rose) has one in Tucson -- kinda far away from you though.

The problem with 'slow' glass is that it is, well, slow. Shooting in low light (dawn, dusk, deep canyons, etc) with slow glass pretty much requires you get out the tripod -- which may or may not be realistic. Even at F4, I find myself skipping a lot of shots because I've already missed so...

Rex, be aware that aftermarket handle bars can create a problem with the master cylinder used on the CM-400s. If the reservoir is mounted at a different angle than provided by the OEM bars, they tend to weep fluid out between the reservoir and cap. Even with a new reservoir, cap, and gasket...

My first bike was a brand new 2007 650GS. I put 25K on it, and it never hit the pavement. I dropped it off road plenty of times -- but it was far from wrecked or destroyed. In fact, when I traded it in after those two years and 25K miles, they gave me $500 less than I paid for it. I am...

My '99 had them on it when I bought it. I don't know that I would have spent the $$$ to put them on it myself. Drain plugs are a great feature -- but anyone that can weld can put a drain plug in the OEM covers (just weld a 2" square piece of 3/16 or 1/4 plate to a low spot, then drill/tap for...

The KLR is a good all around bike. They are cheap, abundant, and have a lot loyal followers who have worked through all the little nagging problems (and posted solutions all over the internet). The downside is that they are under powered and the suspension isn't that great (keep in mind that I...

To the question of 'will the IFS live' -- sure. It's fine as long as you aren't getting crazy with it. But there are a couple issues created by IFS lifts. Keep in mind that these are all relative to the amount of lift -- the more lift you attain = the greater each of these problems will be...

I'm just north of two bills (but far south of 6'2") -- the 800GS won't have any problems moving you around. It's geared a little low for the freeway IMO (it'll do the ton all day long -- but it's revving a lot more than it needs to). On the other end, it's geared a little high for picking your...

Actually, she is on her second bike. She rides on occasion, and enjoys it -- but she isn't up for any trips beyond half-days of poking around the back roads. Nothing wrong with that -- motorcycles aren't for everyone.

Marisa doesn't like riding long distances on a moto -- so she doesn't go on moto-trips. It's just not her thing, and I'm OK with that. She does go on the non-moto trips though (~90% of all trips are in the truck or Jeep) -- and I'm OK with that too. We find that it is nice to do trips w/o...

Now that you spent some time on a stock 800, how does the OEM suspension compare to the Race Tech stuff?

So you're saying you got proficient at loading/unloading your bike from the bed of your truck? :elkgrin:

I think it is pronounced "thooper therial". :sombrero: (Southpark reference, for those that don't watch it . . . )

Wil at Sierra Expeditions is selling his dcab taco. All it needs is some gas in the tank . . .

:xxrotflma My dog does that too -- except she can't get herself out since she screwed her knees up a few years ago.

IMO, the price is high -- unless they are just selling for more up north. A couple months ago I paid $8500 for a 99, auto (built), 4x4, full gauge package (EGT, trans temp, boost, fuel pressure), new BFG AT tires, 4" exhaust (from the turbo to the tip), fairly new injection pump (was replaced...

Or you could buy the Easi-awn that used to be mounted on top of my TJ . . . (see for-sale section)

One demerit for you! :sombrero:

Any of the moderators can bring it back. If you want us to do it, just let us know. :)

Bummer (for those of us who enjoy watching this thread).
