  • Referring to Rekluse’s “auto clutch” systems is much more simply stated than achieved. Auto clutch technology has been meticulously engineered, tested, and developed through several generations in the engines of many different brands and types of motorcycles. But, what are the benefits of running an auto clutch in the first place?

Vacation to CO in July
My wife and I will be in CO visiting some of her family in the Golden area on the 4th of July holiday for a week. Not sure if I can swing it but if I can what are some areas to ride around Golden.

Rekluse Core Manual Torq Drive 250/300 RR, RX
Any of you use one of these? Especially curious about the late model owners w/the new clutch setup.    I do have the Torq Drive clutch pack already, probably wouldn't cough up the full $1140, but found one for about 45% off, so figured why not?   From most accounts, probably not necessary, seems like the Beta has a great clutch as is. Biggest downside is having the stock components just sit in a box(although I have read some are switching the old style for new) and the ex

Fz8 dirt off road must haves?
Hello, got my hands on an fz8 for dirt cheap and want to convert it as much dirt oriented as possible for fun  original tires are 170 55 17, which would be the most aggressive dirt tire and do I need to stick to 170 or can I go smaller?

Toyota 4 runner
Anyone have one from the last few years? Does the base 2WD model have any undercarriage junk that has to be removed for oil changes? I always do my own.  Have learned that the oil change shops can't be trusted. 
Knee aching after trail ride - exercises to help?
Today I went trail riding with my 23 yo son.  We rode about 20 miles, in 2nd and 3rd gear, mostly switchbacks with no real elevation change other than lots of water breaks. I stood up while riding as much as I could, but eventually had to sit down.  Hours later, back home, my knees are very sore.  I've been doing 30 min sessions on the stair climber at my local gym and thought that would prevent knee aching, but it hasn't. Are there specific leg exercises that should minimize k
