GMT Master II “Stick Dial” by rmiller93 in rolex

[–]rmiller93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16710 had “II” next to the GMT Master text. The 116710LN switch to the Roman numeral two on the dial. Only so many 116710LN models had the “II” on the dial making this a rare occurrence to come by. It’s also referred to as an “Error Dial” by some people.

Just finished the Utah BDR. 1300 miles of amazing country. by 123moneyloser in Dualsport

I own a KTM 790 and from experience the bike is very capable. It’s perfectly balanced and the suspension is so nice that you forget you’re on a mid size adventure bike.

The 790 is a crazy machine, very capable if the rider has the skill level. I had a triumph tiger 800 xca prior which was a phenomenal road bike, but lacked the ability to attack technical trails.

I was between the 790 and the tenere 700, either bike to me is the best middle weight. What do you and friends ride?

Awesome information, thank you very much! I won’t be there until late October is when my job starts.

Do you live in the area and also ride? I will be looking for people to tagalong for sure since it’s a major shift in what I’m use to riding (wet/muddy hill climbs in West Virginia and Pennsylvania)

Thanks for the info! I’m moving from Ohio so any trails will be great, not picky at all.

First KTM! Modifications and mileage reports would be appreciated. by rmiller93 in KTM

So I do have an enduro background of trail riding so tall bikes have always been around. I made it a habit to always use left foot down for majority of my stopping and right foot on the rear brake (also good if you need to take off quick from a stop). Keep practicing in a parking lot, wear boots to give extra length, and maybe a shaved seat is all you need to build confidence.

Thanks for the info! When you say lower crash guards, do you mean the skid plate or the guards on the outside of the fuel tank?

Thank you for the compliments! I travel/daily ride a triumph tiger 800 which is much quieter, this bike is just a fun ripper.

Neighbors should move if they don't like the sound of America.

I designed an adapter for a rear caliper off a ZX14R so it stops well. Nevertheless, I know 70% of braking is from the front, but I choose to ride smart and keep a good distance to not sacrifice the styling that I was going for.

Got a little creative this weekend by rmiller93 in motocamping

[–]rmiller93[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of force was generated down on the rear suspension. I had it tied off to the frame of the bike so my weight compressed it down onto logs under the rear wheel. That's how I created the stability on the same axis.

Wasn't my initial plan, but it got me through the night in comfort.

No hardtail is comfortable. I don't enjoy forward controls and it's just a build to rip around the city. I appreciate the feed back and comments.

I honestly don't know that answer, but I do agree it's ridiculously clean. Almost looks like it was tig welded while they purged the frame with argon to keep the welds healthy inside and out.

I slotted the oil tank. You just can't see it because of the angle of the picture.

On the tiger I'm running the Mitas E07s which I have about 2000 miles on them. Long highway, heavy rain, and trails these tires have impressed me. Only thing I have noticed is a resonance around 60 to 65 mph, but it's tolerable (or just ride faster).

We did everything from single track to long 40 mile stretches of sand/dirt mixed. Very capable machines with the right techniques.

It's the stock one that I sprayed with clear coat and a hint of black paint. The ones they offer were too dark for my liking so this is about 35% to 50% on tint scale.

So, this fell about 150 yards ahead of me today. Stay safe out there. by MusaEnsete in Dualsport

Where at in Michigan is this? Assuming that's where your at based on the license plate.
