Calgarians that dualsport

Check in if you are a Calgarian and like doing dual-sport rides.

I have a KTM LC4 640 Enduro (just converted to an Adventure model)
and a KTM 450EXC

I think there is a thread for this somewhere already... but im easy.

F650GS Dakar.

It's probably 80% road miles, but i like to break things offroad.

cool. let me know and we can go sometime. Do u ever ride with Alberta Dual Sport club?

My bike is still spending its winter vacation in my buddies garage. Got my service all booked for early march... so she'll stay inside and warm a bit longer.

Havn't ridden with any of the alberta dual spot guys, but i have 'stolen' and re-hidden the flash cache last summer. Mostly ride by myself and add my buddys on to that depending on the day.

I've been out but i also have to set the valves on my 640. i did the 450 late in the fall and changed the oil on the 640 while in California but the valves need 2 b set. I just received the tank for the LC4 640 but the other parts will be a couple of weeks. When they come in my bike will be out of service for a while.

I have a DR650, and a broken back. I'm in a brace for 3 months, hopefully will be able to do a bit of riding after I heal up.

2 hours south of Calgary does that count , gs100 it gets up to Calgary once a year for service .

Check out 'AlbertaDualSport.ca' Lot's of Dual Sport riders in the Calgary area frequent the place.

I'll ride the dirt roads on my f650....I always end up out around bragg creek, millarville, or turner valley.

we'll have 2 get a bunch of people out in the spring

I have a WR450 Registered and Insured in Alberta.

macuser - you also might want to check out http://adsmc.ca for DS group rides from Calgary... McLean Creek, Ghost/Waiparous, Cypress, Nordegg, etc are some of the riding areas we head to. Most of the group seems to be on 400-650cc thumpers (I ride a Husky TE610).

husky 610 street legal cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

I'll have to keep an eye on this thread. I may be moving to Brooks- is that close enough to Calgary to count? Seriously though... Where do you all ride? I grew up about 2.5 hrs South of Calgary. We had enough fun in fields and out at the Ridge, but seriously. Coming from where we live now back here... I think I'll go crazy without my single-track!!!


-and I'm on an '02 LC4E. Currently it has SM wheels- but that can change in a couple of minutes. Spend a fair bit of time on old Hondas too...

I'm on here as well. Current rides are a 07 KTM 450 exc, 03 Strom 1000, and in the middle of a 77 XT500 resto. I'm also on Alberta Dual Sport under the same name. I organize a backroads Kootenay trip annually, check it out and see if it tickles your fancy!

I'm headed out 1:00 today - SW of Calgary. I was out last week twice - it was good.

Stand Up

A friend of mine just bought a street legal XR650R today so that will add yet another one of us. He already has a KTM 250XC so he knows how to ride. lol

When are we all heading out for a ride???

Best of luck with the back. Take it easy and make sure you make a full recovery before getting on the bike. Let us know how your progress is :)

Hey Macuser, I am in Calgary and frequent the foothills of southern Alberta at every opportunity. Even yesterday!
