I'm constantly surprised with the helpfulness of this forum, thanks so much everyone. j

We are planning some riding off road experience for her this year for sure with some of the great options that thread helped me find. In my mind a bike would take the better part of the season to get up and running or at least her save up the needed money for insurance / gear etc. So maybe more...

Great stuff to get me started. Thanks everyone so far. I guess in my mind I had this 'barn find' and strip it down / rebuild. But maaaaybe that is a lot to chew on my first go-round.

Looking for some guidance as even getting my bearings is daunting. My daughter is 16 and interested in riding and we wanted to use this opportunity to find an old bike (70's?) and fix it up thereby learning the mechanical basics as well as a daddy/daughter thing. I'm pretty confident and...

My wife bought an '07 DR200 which has the original tires. (!) There are a set of Shinko 705 (dual sport) tires that seem perfect but when I use the original sizes (knobbies) I can't find many tires. Will the Shinkos work? Stock are: Front - 70/100-21 44P Rear - 100/90-18 56P And the Shinkos I...

I ordered a 2 piece leather suit from the US and was charged tax (of course) and duties (argh). They calculated the duties at 13%. I have loaded the Duty book PDF from CBSA and looked up the code they used 4203 and see this: ----- 4203.10.00 -Articles of apparel 13% CCCT, LDCT, UST, MT...
