990 riders in colorado

You definitely need to be able to do them yourself.
That said, in town I buy tires and get them changed at TFOG

Jim is a member here and a great guy.

I don't know if we're the best group of peers to ride with...

























...but we do go to pretty places

I sent you a PM about getting together to talk KTM Adventures in person some time

That is a nice collection, Geek.

I wish that wasn't true-- changing 990 tires makes me want to kill myself.

Feeling so left out...

Hey...tell Rick to give me my bike back

Mine likes napping in the shade, what can I say?

Paul: for a minute I thought "but I don't have any pics of your 950;'s taking a nap "

...but just now I remembered a day on Hayden that you decided to keep the SE



...and Singletrack Sean on Tomichi that same day:

...it is so hard to restrain myself to only posting KTM Adventure/SE pictures

I think you have a picture of me dumping my 950 somewhere on Webster as well...

They do like their afternoon naps.

I finally got the bike ready, oil change, KN filter, wings slip on... Now of course need a remapping.

I have no tunEcu and no clue of switching maps. Any good samaritan in the area can help?

I will try to keep an eye on the forum to see if there is any riding I can join.

Thanks for all the help

Hey y'all, yes I am resurrecting an old thread rather than start a new one! So, my brother and I are coming out late August this year... on a 950 and his 990... we've been out before and ridden stuff like Engineers Pass and some crazy trail that brought us down the mountain into Salida from the north. We found some ATV trails too that were fun. We rode up to Clear Lake and foolishly camped up there north of Silverton. I'm looking for some more challenging riding this year. I had heard about Pearl Pass and the Devils Punchbowl and thought they sounded awesome but then watched some videos in another thread... one with some GS guys doing Schofield Pass had me crapping my pants from here in Atlanta.

We are both good offroad riders. Any recommendations on roads to check out as far as something more challenging that won't become more of a chore than fun? I know thats kinda vague, looking for 9X0 rider input for that reason. To be honest, Pearl Pass didn't look that bad, Schofield looked worse, but that's just in the videos I watched so I could be way off base.

Most of our time will likely be the San Juan Mtns but also really like the area around Aspen and into Gunnison as well.

Thanks for the assist. If any of you boys are ever in Georgia, I'll happily return the favor. Cheers.

Blackbear, Pousekepsie(sp) Gulch, Imogene(Silverton area) can be interesting, Hancock, Tincup, Tomichi passes. American Flag, making it a loop thru to Spring Creek(Gunnison Area).
Do not think Pearl is easy, the baby head section is brutal , Schofield and the punch bowl is a chore also.
On my 990, I have done Tincup, Imogene, the Alpine Loop and Blackbear(I will not do Blackbear again on it)
I am a fair rider, do not push my limits and I do not think I would try the others on my 990 and enjoy it. That is what my little bikes are for.
There are some good ATV tracks in Taylor Park.
That is my 2 pennies worth.

If you need help with the Farkle options these guys really know what they're doing.


If you need help with packing as much stuff as possible Tha Rick and Hellsickle are your guys.




Proper riding gear is this man's passion. He's a slave to fashion.


But if you want to go ride some cool places there's lots of us willing to show you around.

I've been working on my PhD (Piled higher and Deeper) in preparation for an Alaska trip this summer.

Be honest. Is this going to make my butt look fat?

No but your straps are skinny....

I looked at some of the old posts on this thread and had to be in awe at pfb's picture from 2015

Many many other good pics on this thread too.

There is industrial velcro between the Rotopax and the case. When I mount directly to the rack, I've got a couple of bars it sits on to keep it from moving at all. The straps just need to keep it held down on the bars.

I'm rethinking my rear top case...
