Thanks for the help. Got sorted out.

Hey, I bought an SV as my first big bike, now over a decade ago. First ride out I **** my pants, the second tipped it over... Thought I made a wrong decision big time. Then after a few more (longer) rides i got more comfortable, then fell in love with it. Give it more time, a few longer rides...

Does anyone have recommendations on a place that can match my bearings (I.e. I don't have the spec, just the old part, so need someone to measure and assess the size)? These are for a set of chain rollers so nothing fancy, but not something I have the tools to measure precisely myself...

Completely disagree. That's what they are there for. @Iceman - Pictures please, or it didn't happen.

Skipping out tomorrow to go riding Oak Ridges and possibly into the Ganny a bit... anyone interested? Expecting to leave from Sheppard and Morningside Timmies bu 10 AM, back by 3-ish..

I find it useful to carry a mini 1/4" drive ratchet (like the one below, but with longer extension) + plus 1/4 to 3/8 drive converter to accommodate a thin-walled deep spark-plug socket. Dedicated spark plug pullers seem a little bulky/wasteful to me. For open-ended wrenches, try to find...

Looks like a lot of fun. I'm considering the electric version, if only for playing around in the ravine behind my place.

...problem is that we are perceived to rip up the trails and at faster speeds more 'dangerous' to pedestrian traffic than the hill-billies in sporting crocs and overalls on their ATVs... I think OFTR needs to step up the PR work/activities to start (visibly) showing that 2-wheelers care about...

...soooo? How did the newbies do? :) :) Hope everyone had fun.

I really hope that Desert Sled works out for you. I'm a little of an opinion that these are fad bikes, hipster attempts at Instagram adventures, but i could be wrong. Nice thing is that at least in Ontario, the terrain is generally quite forgiving (not bone-rattling rocky as down south), and CAA...

It's a 2007 BMW XChallenge thumper with a HDB front fairing set-up. Here are some more shots, from Death Valley last weekend:

I shipped my bike down and have been returning to visit it a few times over the winter. 10 riding days in all (would have been more, but one trip was cancelled due to extenuating circumstances). Some of the flights were via Air Miles (paying $150 per flight for the 'fees') and one on a detour...

Wanted to share some footage from my last two trips to Nevada and SoCal. Great riding if you can get out there while we are watching the flurries pile up back home... https://youtu.be/ZxgCI66lz9U

Warm days are getting scarce, let's go riding! Heading out tomorrow to ride Oak Ridges and Ganny double track at 10am with flexible return time. PM if you would like to join. Video from last week's ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaaWi_2gnvY

In, on a bigger bike though. Likely going to just strafe through the park with a buddy (on an even bigger bike).

Anyone up for riding this Friday? Thinking of heading to Ganny or Creemore area...

Going to pass through and rip a few side trails while en-route East.. Honk if you see a white X-Challenge.

I've designed and printed a dash mount for my enduro and so far after almost 8K KMs of bashing rocks and falling off the trailer it's doing great. Having used Shapeways for the prototypes and then switching to a local provider Objex Unlimited, I would say that their resins are not as great as...

OCT 16th: East of TO Off-Road Ride Anyone interested in riding tomorrow? Starting in Oak Ridges and going East. Thinking of a 10am start, earlier if desired.

I'm thinking of taking off on Wednesday Sept 7th for a 10-4pm ride east to Oak Ridges, Raglan, Coates Rd and possible to Ganny. anyone care to join in?
