I have been running Mitas Dakar Tires since purchasing this V2 in July 2015 Mitas tires, (Dakar) sidewall E-07: 50% Street/50% Dirt tire E-10: 40/60 E-09: 20/80 Harder Compound . My Standard set-up is the Mitas E-07 Dakar tire that work great on all surfaces and weather. During winter and spring I go with the E-010. Now I am trying the E-09 on the rear for spring riding plus I have some off road trips planed in CO.& UT this year. The E-07 did fine on the Kentucky Adventure Trail (KAT) The Dakar has a very stiff sidewall that helps with my cast wheels and lower air pressures during some off-road works. Check them out, YMMV B.

Yes, very much so. Very Quiet and easy to use. I purchased them 5 years ago for the Wife to use while I was deployed away for short periods I made her a video of set-up/operation and she had no problems during storm related power outages.I keep the fuel fresh and change oil annually. If you need extra power the EF2000iS has a parallel function lets you connect two generators to deliver up to 30 amps with a kit. 30amps is also good for a RV/Camper off grid.

This cold weather sucks!! Not a Motorcycle but.. Motorcycle Ground Support Equipment, Servicing my Motorsport generators today for summer 2017.

The Two Gentlemen that stopped by to help were the Malta Township road crew members. That BIG man picked up the front and set it aside like a case of beer. Saved me about 2hours of slow winch-en. Good people from Malta.

Well, The V-Strom required a rear tire change to a harder compound Mitas E-09 Darkar Knob! from the E-10 Dakar. The Z1K required a harder Pirelli Angel GT to match front. JIM, Thank you for the OR stickers for both bikes. Will were them with pride and defiance. .

On Asphalt, I have only ridden with you twice and the epic rides I've been on I have been attached to Jschaf's wing. I have ridden with Derek twice. We just finished a ride yesterday in the Tar Hollow area. It's always a good time with lot's of laughs.

The ADV Ohio Columbus Gent's Have a (TOT) Trans-Ohio-Trail gps route You could jump on at East Liverpool and ride for day's. It is a mix of gravel, back roads with some chalgen sections thrown in for a skills test. like the creek I was stuck in. The owner of the route is (Swingset) on ADV: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/adventure-in-ohio.28732/ PM him a msg and ask for the TOT GPX Route. I think he is on here if you can find the old Adventure thread. Brian.

This System is a must have for old fat has been's that get stuck alone in the wilderness. Motorcycle Recovery System (MRS)? The MRS is a z-drag rope-and-pulley system originally developed for mountaineering and rescue teams. That system was modified for motorcycle recovery operations. Recovery refers to the process of getting the bike back on the road or trail after taking an unexpected detour, or the process of getting the bike out of a bog or a sandpit. https://bestrestproducts.com/shop/recovery-gear-mrs-system/motorcycle-recovery-system-mrs/

Yea, garmin virb has many dashboard data to pick from.

Unseasonably warm weather this Presidents Day weekend gave many a opportunity to knock the dust off their bikes and the local roads.

On another note. Wife and I had lunch at Blue Bell Diner today 2/21/17 in McConnelsville. Wife had a BLT with ice cold bacon and my breakfast had cold bacon. It was 11:30Am. serving cold bacon is a no no. Waitress stated she was trying to teach her daughter how to cook in the kitchen. Owner/manager was not on location. Will not go back for long time. YMMV

Nice meeting you gent's once again. Thank you for the stickers Jim.

The wife and I have had breakfast and lunce there. Great food and clean. B.

Middle age Belly Fat will mess-up a man's riding gear.. someone could make a killing on 2nd hand riding gear store.

What Time do you expect to be in McConnelsville. I will be out that way riding. Do you carry Donuts and ohioriders stickers this early in the season. May be able to hang till Woodsfield and return home on 78. B.

Jacob, Get well soon.

I have had B-Fest and lunch at this place. Great food and friendly owners and staff. Great ride destination from all directions.

I can attest to the outstanding condition and care this owner has placed on this bike. Anyone looking to venture into the dual sport/Adventure riding, this is a great catch. IMHO B.

ADV Ohio riders lunch: City BBQ in Westerville at 12:30p.m. 4, OR Breakfast: Waffle House on Hamilton Rd around 2:00pm Is Iron Pony open New Years day? need to justify the mad ass trip north,
