Gotta love it when the call for rain and snow all day and not a drop or flake falls![]()
Sean, Leah and myself did some dirty riding Saturday, it was fun and wet..
The pictures don't do the hill justice, it's steep!!!
A bit of a hangover Sunday am but we were riding againSean, theiglue, PB, Bob M and myself took off for some dual sporting. We got yelled at by some lady driving down the road, yelled at again by some horse riders (maybe next time we shouldn't stop and shut the bikes off while they pass by? ) and chased by multiple dogs

Yeah, the KTM left me stranded on the side of the road!! It's fixxed now and ready for action again though
That's all, just a quick report with a couple picturesThanks again to Sean for leading

It looks like a lot of fun; espcially the action shots.
Is it feasible to ride a dual-sport, year-round, without the need for a sportbike?
Ie. street tires/wheels/sprockets for the summer; and dual-sport for the fall/winter.
I plan on riding mine year roundI'm kinda losing intrest in sportbiking so I'd say yeah, it is feasible to have a dualsport and not a sportbike

What happened to the chain on the KTM? Now ya got me worried..
I'm all registered for the state of NH. Now I gotta set it up for street so I can put it on the road in Ma.

Lost a master link, I guess I need a new one every time I change from dirt to street wheels. I got lucky, no damage to the case or anything seeing the chain was bound up up frontOriginally posted by FireNutzRR

You're using a new clip each time, right? With the flat side always towards the outside? Look at it closely if you can't tell -- it's a punched out part, similar to a retaining ring, and it's got a flat side and a rounded side. The flat side should always be the one bearing the load.
No damage to the case? That coulda been nasty. Once had to drill the heads off of all the case cover bolts to get one off after the chain packed around the counter-shaft sprocket.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. - John Stuart Mill
Where were those pics taken? Where were you?
[sob] I wanna woods ride!!![/sob]
ChR1s, I hadn't been using a new master each timeLooking at the replacement one vs the one that came off, the new one looks much less likely to fail. The link itself is larger than the clip by quite a bit so it seems the chances of it getting hung up on something are not as good. I'll give it a test run in Pachaug tomorrow and see how it is, i'll have a spare in me pocket

Yeah, I got real lucky with the case, especially seeing I had no case saver on at the time (it's back on now though), I had taken it off with all the gearing changes I did when I first got the bike. Who knows, maybe the case saver not being there helped by letting the chain ride off to the side of the sprocket??

That sure was fun! Thanks for the ride guys! (and lady)
