report

When you are 54 years old and have owned quite a few motorcycles there is one constant, most every motorcycle you buy will need a battery within the first year of ownership. For some reason, wet batteries and I don't play well together. Imagine riding your KTM DUKE while your battery sprays...

As I had hoped for, most of our friends decided to take advantage of the epic riding conditions and beautiful weather. Teanaway would be at its best. All together 9 rigs, and roughly 20 friends showed up. Friday night did require a "recon" trip farther up the Teanaway valley in search of Fro...

I come Chinese, rarely in our this brand of car, power but I like vehicle accelerating performance. We hope a lot of attention, thank you! Today, riding 260 kilometers in 3 hours, only when the rally car.

I have been riding on and off for most of my life (37 years old) but not a lot of single track riding. The new neighborhood I moved into has a few guys that are pretty big into it. About 6 months ago I traded a street motorcycle for some dirt bikes for me (DRZ400) and the kids and it started to...

:D First off great site and thanks for all the helpful info posted I have been lurking for the last few months and now have become completely addicted to the 70' motor. Picked up a few new additions to the garage 2009 FE570, 2010 FE390 with Factory connection suspension set up for 180lb rider...

Cant believe its been 4 years since the 550 arrived in sunny doncaster 8-O Cant say that the bike has been 100% reliable but its with a sorry heart and a red face that i say that most, if not all problems Ive encountered have been introduce by old sausage fingers himself - yes thats me...

Hi all, Just installed the CV4 battery, FMF Ti Mega bomb system. My bike already has a number plate setup. No lights. I put her on the bathroom scale today and she was a nice 256 pounds with a full tank of fuel. (116kg for our metric friends). Today was my first ride and I can honestly say...

Well I got to ride the 2011 FE570 and I must say that It lived up to and exceeded my expectations. It's my friends new bike and I brought along my 05 FE650. I have 2 650s and this one doesn't have the Pro suspension and handling but isn't that bad with the 84kg shock spring and softened up 48kg...

UK Force Ride 2011 Wow where to start. Friday morning 9am I arrived at the site and met up with Taffy, Arkley123, Husaferg, Mark2e0. Plan for the day was an easy ride around getting back mid afternoon. Weather forecast was for sporadic heavy showers, which given the fact that we were in North...

1. Charlie Mullins 2. Cory Buttrick 3. Mike Lafferty Russell Bobbitt had a bad day for some reason, I did not hear why. Thanks to two days of high winds, the course was dry and dusty today. Only a few days before, the conditions were perfect. Oh well. I think we had close to 400 riders...

yesterday i returned from Marocco from the 2010 Tuareg Rally. ( http://www.tuareg-rallye.com) I had a great time riding my 2009 husa through the great planes of marocco and finally 3 days in the great dunes of Merzouga. It was my first experience in the dunes, and cetrtainly not the last...

First ride out on the new 570 was quite amazing, 130 mile round trip. She (yes I have given her a name) :) handled better then expected, maybe a little hard on the back end, but I will see if she loosens up after a couple of rides if not will try adjusting the rebound a bit. She did cough once...

The Tough One was a great day out, can't believe Knighters pace!! He made it look easy. There were many broken bikes and injured riders. I got a photo of one rider spectating the Hot Laps Qualifying with his arm in a sling, & another rider was air lifted to hospital after apparently braking his...

Dave Klug and I still have 'new bike' fever .... and Cary Scholer had "go ridin' at all costs" fever ... *real bad* ....so we wanted to get out for a ride over the weekend if possible. Sunday looked like our best bet so off we went. :cheers: Everyone met up at Kennig Creek on Sunday...

First things first: I LOVE MY FRACKING NEW BIKE!!!!! :roost: :D There. I feel better. One of my riding buddies Dave Klug just got a new '10 KTM 250 XCW and I just picked up a '10 Husaberg FE 390. Finally got all of the protection pieces and bling-bling installed on it and...

On the 17th November I picked up my 2010 FE450 from Bairnsdale KTM. It had been a bit of a mini saga over the last year, but finally it happened. I ran the bike in over the next week on three good rides and had the first sevice performed on the bike on Tuesday. Yesterday I went out on a...

This bike is AWESOME!! Brookester

Hey all, I have decided to write one last ride report for all those who have PM me with questions and concerns. I have owned many new model bikes over the years and never have I seen a bike create this much interest. It is like a large breasted woman on blue wheels. First off I will give...

I purchased this bike about 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. To anybody out there that that doesn't think the blue kool-aid is for real, well they're wrong. It's everything the hype says and then some. I have owned mostly KTM's in the past with the last being a 2009 300 XCW. This bike has it...

All right, a few fact on the riding area. This is area is almost exclusively tight single track. Some a little more flowing then others, but would be considered very tight by most. We crossed a river four times. The crossings involved lots of boulders, some of which are super slick. We had one...
