I bought this bike brand new and it’s been a wonderful motorcycle but I’m not getting any younger so I’m moving on to something lighter. The bike has been used as a street bike and has never been off road. It’s never been dropped and is in excellent condition. 35,600 miles Jesse luggage...

I'm in for the Madstad bracket. PM sent

My advice would be this: First, you'll have way more fun on the WR. I've ridden most of the COBDR on various bikes and, while doable on the S10 the fun factor will increase 10 fold on the WR. There's no place on the BDR where you'll have highlight reel spectacular crashes, but there are...

We just made reservations for site 504. I'll be bringing a travel trailer so I'll probably throw the T7 in the back of the truck. I spent a few days exploring the paved roads in this area a couple years ago so I'm looking forward to seeing some of the non-paved stuff.

So, my wife likes to spend her birthday (7/24) in Ouray, and I figured maybe I could combine her birthday trip with this rally, but KOA didn't have room for our trailer so we went to Plan B for the birthday. Fotunately for me, Plan B will still let me come over to Ouray possible as early as...

So, last week I called Racetech to get a spring ordered and after being shuffled around their phone system for a while I ended up at Tyler's voicemail. I left him a message explaining what I wanted to purchase, and asked him to call me back. Today, since I hadn't heard back from my voicemail I...

Does anyone have a source for the spacer required for the Eibach spring? Racetech lists a 2 piece spacer, but it's not clear if it's the proper one for this application.

I weigh about the same as the OP and I've decided to upgrade the shock spring on my 14 ES, but from everything I've been able to read, it seems like it's more $$ and way more work than "less than $100 and an hour and a half". I'll be thrilled if the cost and effort is going to be less than I've...

SOLD

I didn't realize there was any motorized access to Mt. Princeton. I know there's a hiking trail to the top, and it's supposed to be a bitch. From Mt Princeton Hot Springs you can take a dirt road up to St Elmo, and then if you're man enough (no way I'd try it) you can go over Tin Cup Pass or...

I've put about 700 miles on my 14ES since getting the ECU back from AVC8130 and I will tell you the reflash absolutely transformed the riding experience. I've got a little over 4500 miles on my ES, and although there's a lot to like about the bike, I hated the abruptness of any type of...

Yep. Folks here just call it BV, Buny (beeoony), or Puny Buny ;D

Just trying to do my part to keep CO well represented in the S10 community :D. I actually picked up my 14 ES last fall after narrowing my choices down to the S10 or a Stelvio. I've been riding a KTM 950 Adventure the last few years and don't plan on selling it, but I wanted a comfortable...

WookinPaNub & blues bob.......This is Mark up in BV (hence my clever user name). I bought a 14 ES last fall to use mainly as a road bike and to do two-up trips with the wife. I've got a couple other bike for bashing the rough stuff, but I'm always open to exploring the back roads, etc, just no...
