Hello and my new-to-me 610 Thought I would introduce myself and my 610. This is from the first ride on it. The ice was a bit slick. John
Thanks. I do think it is in great shape. There are of course some glitches that I am working out but nothing major yet. Looking for a stock seat, believe it or not, amongst other things, if anyone has one. By the way, I really like the look of the doggy panniers on your bike, do you mind telling me the brand? John
Sure! They're made by Mountainsmith. I have the medium size and the large... http://mountainsmith.com/products.asp?productId=111&categoryId=16&subCategoryId=0&subCategory2Id=0 The work great. I had to sew some buttonholes in the pad at the top, then I threaded some nylon webbing through them and and cinched them down on the seat. I have photos of that somewhere if you're interested.

I knew that logo on the side of the bags looks familiar. Thanks for the info. I've been trying to rig up my Ortliebs but not having much luck, and was thinking yours looked great and low down for weight. John
I'm moving up to Seattle in a few weeks, and I have a seat I'll be bringing with me. If you haven;t found another PM me around the 1st and we'll figure something out. I'll be in Federal Way.
Awesome, thanks so much. I will shoot you a PM. Federal Way is maybe 15 minutes from my doorstep so lets go riding too. I'd be more than happy to show you the neighborhood up here on both sides of the water. Thanks again for the offer and i just made a note in my email to PM you. John
Finally, after a month of waiting on the shipping company to deliver it, here's my new-to-me 06. Forecast is calling for 64*F here tomorrow, so I'm taking her for a spin over into Bama with a buddy on a KLR and one on a 690E.
congrats, Tagalong. Having had mine for a few weeks now, I'm pretty sure you are gonna like it. have a great ride tomorrow. John_L
New to you?? that bike looks New Period!!! Has it EVER been in the dirt? My 2008 looks 10 years older than that bike does
This bike photographs very well, in person it has scratches and scuffs all over it. Must be the colors that hide it well. Put in a little over 200 miles Sunday. Wow, this thing is awesome. I love the wide ratio transmission, and being able to loft the front tire without having to clutch it . A couple of pics from the ride
Motoz tractionators suck in the wet! STUCK!! The Dunes.....Where the 610 shines! Freshly rebuilt after drowning! Stu
Nice pics Stu. No need for a kickstand out in the dunes. I see you've got a MotoZ on the rear. Desert HT ? I really like the MZ's. I've been running the Tracula's all winter and it's been really good for wet, muddy terrain. I'll probably be ordering another Desert HT for the summer months. I bet you see a lot of bikes with MZ's down under being that they're an Australian company.
Georgetown trails. Great place to ride and one of the only places in the Sierra's that you can ride during closure season, weather permitting, of course.
I recently moved from LA to Seattle. I stopped in Pismo beach cuz I'd never been on a dune and didn't know when I might get another chance. Pix by ADV rider JaminMathis This is me about to not make it What can I say, it was way steeper than it looks Next attempt I went a lot faster and off a little smaller spot.
