Dirt Bikes
Please,some advice would be nice
Hey everybody! I have a dilemma and would like an opinion about it from people who have more experience than me. I'm hesitating between 3 motorcycles to delve deeper into off-road work. I have the choice between a KTM 400 EXC from 2004 and 80 hours with full maintenance history, a Yamaha WR 450 F from 2006 recently checked in the garage and inspected for sale and an AJP 240 PR3 from 2017 with only 3000 km and inspected for sale. I can only make a purchase after selling my current motorcycle, whi
CO Bike Rental Options
My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to CO the first full week of Sept. My idea was to haul both bikes from MD out there and ride with a friend who lives in Minturn, but with things on the farm I can't get away long enough to justify it. She has no spare bikes for us to ride unfortunately.
Does anyone have suggestions on places that may rent bikes? Our plan is to try and see as much of the state as possible (minus the Kansas looking half...I get enough farming at home LOL) so I am open

Any ideas on how to make some good tie down points on both corners and middle? Planning on hauling a klx110 and a Drz 400 or yz250f. I am replacing the wood right now. I work at a machine shop with waterjet and press brake, but my welder is broken at the moment
the wood will cover any good tie down points on the inside of the walls
and yes, I used ropes last time for a short trip
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
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? (don’t need it to be DOT)
Any recommendations on sprockets? Won’t be going more than 70mph maybe gear down for lower speeds?
