    what rear tire to run for the knolls race?

    I've enjoyed my Maxxis Desert ITs a lot (front and rear). Of course, I'm only comparing them to a Kenda DOT rear that was worn to the bones and a Kenda TrackMaster front that had about 25% tread left. I can't remember where, but when I was researching which tire to buy I heard a few folks say...

    Tusk Winch

    Broke out the winch today for the first time since I bought it on Halloween. It's a Tusk 3,500 lb winch with synthetic rope. I was goofing around in the Teryx4 in the snow on Skyline Drive above Bountiful and buried it up to the frame. This thing is no ATV (1,650 lbs!) and without 10 people...

    Getting your bike prepped for the season? Whats on your list?

    So far I've let my temporary tags lapse and cancelled my insurance. Not really feeling the motorcycle itch so far this year, even after the great ride in St. George last month. I've had all the parts to redo my forks and handlebar setup sitting around for weeks now. Seriously considering...

    So now that I'm legal...insurance question

    To be clear, the lender requires comprehensive and collision coverage, and the state (for street legal only) requires liability. The bank doesn't care if my actions hurt somebody else, only the vehicle they cover. My desire is to purchase comp and collision only, but not liability. The forced...

    So now that I'm legal...insurance question

    Bringing an old thread to the top.... We bought a Teryx4 and due to having a loan we're required to have comprehensive insurance on it. I've had the DRZ insured with Progressive for a year now and like stated above they were the cheapest around and had good service. We added the Teryx a few...

    Gravy's Bike Rebuild

    Well, yeah. And I can ride circles around you! Nope, I just noticed I had my classes mixed up as I was reading the USRA rule book. Thanks for correcting me. I'd get flattened in amateur class.

    Gravy's Bike Rebuild

    Great videos guys, and congrats on the results! It's very interesting to watch the two different videos and the relative skill levels compared. Also, it totally looks like I could jump right into the amateur class with some suspension tuning and a little practice! That sand looks both endless...

    2000 Dodge Durango SLT 5.9L 4x4 with 7 seats.

    I recently got a free truck to use for work, so it's time to sell the family rig. It's in excellent mechanical condition and has the lowest miles of any comparable-year Durango I've seen at 110,123. I'd hitch up a trailer and head anywhere in it today without worry. It has some scratches on...

    St. George Winter Riding Trip Report

    Thanks for posting photos and video! I have pretty much zero to share other than the GPS tracks. I have .kml files of all three days if somebody can tell me how to attach them. I tried attaching them but I'm getting an "Invalid File" error. Jared

    I'm still planning on meeting you to pick up bikes at this point. Have your plans solidified?

    Southwest Bike Trip : St:George or Mesquite

    I'm doomed. My wife has influenza, and now I'll be in a cab with somebody hacking up a lung. I was hoping to make it through flu season unscathed! :-/ I'm running on a temp tag because I didn't have time to get DOT lights mounted and wired up. In fact, now I have no front lights. But the...

    Southwest Bike Trip : St:George or Mesquite

    So for passengers I have Cheston (shotgun!), Stratton, and Tyson, as well as a probable pickup of 2 bikes in South Jordan for Jeeper (Brian). I'm thinking if we want to have much ride time at all for Friday I'd better leave Ogden by 7am. This should put us on the following very approximate...

    Southwest Bike Trip : St:George or Mesquite

    Room for both of you as long as you don't mind 3 in the back seat of a super cab. Leg space is a little tight, but the seat back has a little recline to it. Not quite a 4 door, but not too bad. Fare is free. We'll be passing through SLC 8:30 am'ish Friday. Jared

    Southwest Bike Trip : St:George or Mesquite

    I can haul your bikes and Tyson's quad no problem. I've had 4 sport quads, my DRZ, and an 1100cc road bike on the trailer all at once before and that does not include the truck bed. Four bikes and a quad would be easy on the flatbed. I also still have two open seats in the super cab if...
