Great photos! I ride a wr250r as my second bike to the S10, and absolutely love it. How do the trial type tires do in the mud?

Why is this discussion on a motorcycle forum?

Nice looking Jesse's. I have the same ones on my Tenere, and they have survived multiple hard crashes as well. Just bend 'em back in shape and hit the road!

I thought it was a good adventure story. They faced unique challenges, and it was interesting to see the flexibility necessary to overcome obstacles.

My front wheel bearing failed at 25k miles. My rear bearing exploded at 45k miles destroying the entire hub. I've never pressure washed it, never submerged the hubs, but I do ride in the rain. The other factor is I ride 2-up a great deal with camping gear. I will replace mine every 25k miles...

I agree! I finally got my 'Stich a year ago and wish I would have gotten it sooner. This is a highly refined piece of equipment with all the right pockets, vents, and comfort. I wear my Roadcrafter from 20 degrees to over 100 - all season long.

Sorry to hear about your buddy and the trip, but it sounds like you made the most of it. My rear non-drive wheel bearing failed catastrophically on my '16 ST recently. I have 46,00 miles on it. My bill is $1300 to replace/repair all of the parts you listed. I am surprised to learn of all the...

Hub, rotor, speed sensor housing, bearings, and a few other things I can't remember. The dealership said two ball bearings came out.

My Yamaha dealer replaced my rear tire, and when re-installing the wheel they did not install it properly. The mistake they made was they did not align the tabs on the speed sensor housing. The bike was fine for 1500 miles, but the first time I activated ABS, the wheel made a grinding noise...

Sexy beast!!

She's a beauty. Love the blue! Welcome.

I just got the Hippo Hands Alcan muffs, and I am able to wear summer gloves with my heated grips.

I have had success using inner tubes as a cushion between the box and the rack.
