    Charging Jackery w/ ARB plug

    Can't find in the manual, but on the website it says DC input is 12v-30V (163W Max) 163W divided by 12V is 13.5 amps am I doing the math for that correctly? I've been doing some reading about using third party solar panels with mine and going into the Anderson port. I would expect that you can...

    Bar Raisers - The proper way to install

    I can't tell if this is a serious post or not. Does Rox recommend doing this with their product? Looks dicey to me. I've never used risers on any of my bikes, but a lot of folks do.

    KTM 1190...in the right hands

    I completely agree. Sage advice for sure.

    KTM 1190...in the right hands

    This has been on my mind a lot. I was wearing my Sidi Adventure boots, and believe the results could have been different if I'd been wearing my Sidi Crossfire MX boots. There is not guarantee that different boots would have made a difference IMO because I've seen plenty of injury's where friends...

    KTM 1190...in the right hands

    These bikes are ridiculously capable. I've ridden my 1090 over some gnarly stuff, and when it's rolling it doesn't feel heavy. It feels like a big (Really Big) dirt bike. Slow speed riding around obstacles is pretty easy on these big bikes. You can get into trouble though, and when things...

    XT-225 Serow?

    Oh! In that case I have a completely different response! The CRF250X is an awesome trail bike! The headlight still sucks though..

    XT-225 Serow?

    Hey Paul, I have no experience on trials bikes other than a few brief rides. I’ve watched pro’s like Graham Jarvis ride their dirt bikes like trials bikes and make it look easy. The CRF250 has a lot of torque and the gearing is probably much different from a trials bike. It’s also way...

    XT-225 Serow?

    I think the XT would be great, and unlike the Kawai Sherpa you don't have to worry as much about somebody stealing it. I worried about my 74 Trail-90 every time I took it out, and ended up selling it because it was more of a liability than a utility bike. I would imagine that it all depends on...

    Dirt Sunrise: Tim and Kelsey get lost...

    It's gotta be hard to have to get back on the boat so soon at all the stops. Beautiful scenery!

    4Runner Cargo Hitch Carrier

    I have a nice Draw-Tite one I found on CraigsList years ago. It is very robust, and has these nice rails around it to help secure the load. It is somewhat adjustable, and sits higher than the hitch which is nice. I've had a few cheap ones, and found them to be just that, cheap and flimsy. The...

    2021 KTM 890 Adventure R

    Looks great, and by all accounts you are right that they hit it out of the park on this one. I took it easy on my 1090 to break it in. You're in for a great time when you experiment with the different ride modes.

    The cover shot of the new video is really cool.

    Show your Thumper!!

    I should probably start my own thread for the new 300 Rally.. From another break-in ride. I wasn't quite ready to attempt this log crossing since I was alone and the bike is still so new so I din't make it up the Pilot Peak this time.

    XT350 lightweight adv

    I know the feeling on my XR400. Mine floods easily, especially when I drop it. Warm starts aren't an issue for mine, but I know some of these old singles do have warm start issues. Maybe after it doesn't start the first few kicks yours is flooded. Have you tried holding the throttle wide open...

    XT350 lightweight adv

    Nice work on the electrical system! Part of the fun of vintage gear is finding solutions like this. I don't have your skills so I don't own much vintage stuff, but it's great to see your ingenuity. Your bike is a wonderful example of the XT350's classic styling and great looks. All the...

    Show your Thumper!!

    The plan is to ride it a lot. I'm thinking light ADV bike to fill the combined roll of my CRF250X and my XR400. A few of my obligatory bike shots from my inaugural ride around the city.

    Brought this little thumper home today. It's not that light or fast but should work well for me.

    Africa Twin reviews

    Hey Paul, I went from riding a KLR for years and moved up to a big bike. It's been a process that's for sure. Finding the replacement for the KLR has turned out to be the search for a unicorn of sorts. The closest I came to having it was my KTM 990 Adventure. The 990 had similar Ergo's to the...

    Play bikes...

    I think the Trail125 would be an excellent play bike. It would be great for so many different uses. I had a Vespa for the past few months and found it to be super fun, and useful for chores. I didn't like the ergonomics on it and it was fatiguing to ride for extended periods so I sold it. The...
