Fall / Winter riding in the NW...

Really? Sheesh, I've ridden in plenty of gumbo.

Yeah, we hope so. The spark plug cap kept cutting out on him last Saturday on his first ride on it. If it wasn't in the exact right spot it wouldn't start. Pretty frustrating, but Bill's got another one on the way right now so it should be good to go soon

He's 6' tall and says the Husky fits him a lot better than the GG's but he still likes how the GG's turn better. It'll probably be different after he gets it all dialed in the way he likes it.

I read this over and over yet have NEVER had an issue with it.

Maybe you got a good one? Eric's plug cap is, indeed, a piece of non-functioning crap. He kept muttering "90%" under his breath in between the swear words. Not a good start. I gently reminded him he still has $3000 remaining in the "bike purchase" bank with which to purchase a fully-functioning plug cap

Also, cut and flip the peg 'spacer' if Bill didnt already do it to get a bit more leg room. I notice on my 300 that the steering is sensitive to suspension setup. First I got the rear where I liked it and then ended up moving the forks down 1 line to make it steer comfortably. Each line on the forks made a noticeable difference on a hard semi-fast track (Eddieville).

Yeah, I would imagine that stuff will make a big difference once he gets to it. He basically just put handguards, skidplate and spark arrester on, softened up all the clickers and rode it as it came. Eric is a tweaker when it comes to set-up and I'm sure he'll spend zillions of hours on it once he gets started on it

Uh oh....this sounds like the start of a trail riding cult!

Bring your SPOT device, GPS and map.

First time I met Wally he had strayed from his flock.... Apparently not for the first time ......

Where's Walto

Its a given, we lost him in Utah, several times a day.
