Helo everyone, looking for some contacts to ride with this coming season. I can't find any groups online so this is my first attempt other than posting on craigslist. I ride a 94 dr650 and like tearing around on mt spokane an such. If anyone could guide me to a group or something with rides that'd be awsome.

Dillon, are you switching shifts?

Kootenai Rider · 12-30-2012, 09:04 PM

Welcome Cobain! We'd be the perfect group for your kind of riding. Watch this thread, this is typically where we post up our rides.

We'll be having a get together here in a few weeks. I'll post it as soon as I come up with a location. All you new people come out and meet the other riders. There is a variety of riding styles you be able to connect with some that enjoys the same type of riding you do.

More to come.

I saw somebody riding an XR650L up Indian Trail on or about Christmas Eve... anybody on here?

Cobain · 12-31-2012, 09:53 PM

I mounted, dismounted, and remounted my first rear tire today. Pinched the tube, patched it, then it leaked again, and i tore up the bead of the tire pretty good. That will be the last time i try to do that. I realize why i pay $25 now.

#1...never do this job in the winter. If you do, place the dismounted wheel/tire next to a heat source to soften the rubber. I prefer to change mine in the summer. I pick a particularly hot day and leave the wheel out in the sun (along with the new tire(s) I am going to mount.) They go off and on much easier! Also, use lot's of lube (yeah...that's what she said!)

#2...buy a proper changing machine. No-Mar makes a dandy that pays for itself after just a few changes where you are not paying the grease monkey down at the dealer to do it for you. http://www.nomartirechanger.com/ Some here have also had success with the cheaper Harbor Freight changer but it needs to be modified for it to work consistently and w/o scratching your rims. If you are serious about riding and plan to have bikes for years the No-Mar is a good investment IMHO. I use the 'Cycle Hill' blue model myself and it does a stellar job.

OK, going to bed hugging my bottle of antibiotics.... Happy Frickin New Year!!

WU7X · 12-31-2012, 11:26 PM

Happy New Years everyone! It's been a real pleasure to meet and get to know many of you. Here's wishing that 2013 is a great year for riding/driving. See you on the trail!

These little sweet green machines ALWAYS catch my eye!

Ladybug0048 · 01-01-2013, 09:16 AM

Instead of one catching your eye you need to catch one in time for riding season. Only six months and three weeks until Hells Canyon.

mcjunky · 01-01-2013, 01:10 PM

With the right gear it isn't bad at all, got about a 40 minute ride in.
