Greater Phoenix Chatter

I need a good route to Taos, NM....headed to the KTM Rally in Sept.....a pack of big pumpkins looking for as much dirt as possible

+1. Set the date and I will be there !

I didn't do to much dirt, but check out the ride report I did about my ride to Santa Fe last summer for ideas (link is in my signature line). Also, the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route might be a good option for you as well.

I'll see if I can batch something up.

Yes, that is the place. And 'Dos, you crack me up, bashing hipsters while working your sushi habit into the conversation.

Goddamm yuppies and their sushi.......Geezus.

hey man, sushi is the food of middle upper working class hispanic redneck.

you classist bastid!

We stopped in there Saturday night after Sushi, one helluva voice booming from the coffee house turned out to be the girl who works there.. Zero hipsters though, actually zero people

What do you guys have for gloves and why do you like 'em?
I keep looking and looking and the only thing I've come to realize is you can spend anywhere from $30 to $250....my current top 3:

1. KLIM Adventure
2. HELD Sambia
3. Tourmaster Intake Air

I have a pair of Held gauntlet style all leather gloves that are now over ten years old and still in excellent condition. The only issue is that they have lost some color. I paid $200 for them back in 2003, and have no regrets.

I can't say what the quality is like on the ones you list above. Kilms are probably overpriced, like all their shit, and thet Tourmasters are probably a good middle of the road quality.

all mx style moto gloves suck IMO.

I recently bought some leather gauntlet gloves from a company based out of Oregon for $40 and they are excellent. They are not motorcycle gloves but the guy custom made the extra gauntlet part after I called him and asked what I wanted the gloves for.

If I had to do it again I'd get the Elkskin Ropers from Aerostich which is actually the type of glove i was after in the first place but me being a cheap bastid I wanted to try something even cheaper.

Do the Elkskin Ropers come with a tassle option off the sides? I need a pair to match my riding jacket.

Try and fire this back up. Im in the area and looking to do some touring and dirt trails. Anyone has anything planned for upcoming weekends let me know.

You need to just keep an eye on these threads, something usually comes up.

There is one being planned for this weekend on this thread.

Anybody savvy in hard drive recovery? beyond the typical CHKDSK /R....my laptop crashed and I have an adapter and the drive is recognized but fails various tests....not worth sending to the pro's for big $$$ but if anyone has any tips or tricks to recover data I'd appreciate it....

I'll take one.

Tell me more!
