for reference, the $78 (including parts) 600 mile service on my bike got me:

change oil & filter
change gearbox oil
change rear drive oil
change fork oil
retorque steering head bearings
valve adjust
reset ignition timing
verify coolant mixture ratio (replace if needed)
clean/inspect speedo inductive sensor
retorque brake line connections
readjust clutch cable
sidestand linkage/switch check
check fuel line connections
verify tank vent lines work
readjust throttle cables
retorque engine mounts
retorque exhaust system mounting
retorque shock mounting
retorque center stand mounts
retorque side stand mounts
retorque rear wheel bolts
retorque front axle bolts
adjust tire pressures
check CO2 level
and road test/check of:
clutch
shifting
steering
brakes
ABS
all lights
any optional equipment

I'd list the $50 4,500 mile service items but I don't feel like typing that
much right now.

it's true that you'll spend a lot more money up front for a BMW, but BMW
fully intends for that bike to be running properly after 100,000 miles.
it will also retain its value better. when steve bade traded in his k75
for the exact same year & model but with ABS, he basically paid the price
of the ABS system. his old k75 had over 9,000 miles on it. it's an investment.
if you wanna do that, then go BMW. if that's not one of your primary concerns
then don't. if what you really wanted was to twist a grip and have your
genitals torn off then you should have gotten a ZX-11.

Where I grew up all the farmboys rode dirt bikes.  This was back
in the days of metal tanks, so severe denting ocurred in many
cases.  One method we found successful for removing the dents was
to make a fitting on the filler cap, and connect to air
compressor.  Giving slow shots, until dent was pushed out, seemed
to work until a guy burst his tank at the seam.  To help prevent
this, a bunch of belts were tightened around the tank to help
support the seam.  This seemed to work fairly well on large
dents, but a small, sharp dent may be too far gone for help.
I cannot comment on the safety aspects of the above procedure...

brace
holds everything intact. My doctor told me that as long as I hold the 
knee still it will prevent further injury to that part of the leg.


    If you were to ask me if wearing a brace was a good idea as far as 
prevention is concernd, I would say definitly so. After 25 years of pro
racing I only wish that I had the brace years ago.

My Thor Vertabelt disappeared on the trail at the first enduro of the year
(no, I don't know how!). I replaced it with an AXO Axis belt and am very
happy with this belt. It offers excellent support and is still very
comfortable. It looks like it would provide good crash protection as well
but I haven't tested that feature yet :-).

There are lots of adjustments for belt height and an extra pad that you can
screw on for additional lower back support.

SERIOUS
  1. Out break him.
  2. Charge all corners.
  3. Bump him when you get close.  This will intimidate and demoralize.
     He'll say, "Damn, he's getting serious about this!"

NOT SERIOUS but you would make Bradshaw proud.
  4. When he gets into a blind area, cut across the track.
  5. If you are in a corner and he's closing in, grab a hay bale
     and pull it around into his path when you exit.
  6. Grab his throttle cable when he's coming around.

It's really so they don't have to get out of the car and walk around

Someone asked about mags. Here's the scoop: 

DIRT BIKE - By far the best DB mag in existence. I have back issues of
this mag and I keep every issue because I find myself always saying,
"I *know* DIRT BIKE had an article on that..."  DIRT BIKE gives unbiased
opinions. If a new bike sucks, they SAY "IT SUCKS!" and they are not
swayed by their advertisers. DIRT BIKE also offers REAL-WORLD advice
on lots of different dirt bike stuff. It's also worth mentioning that
DIRT BIKE was around way WAAAAY before the days of monoshocks and
water cooling. Absolutely the BEST mag.

MOTOCROSS ACTION - Put out by the same printing company as DB. Where
DB focuses on the bikes and riding, MXA focuses on MOTOCROSS expressly:
especially pro motocross and lots of racing coverage. MXA is an 
excellent mag but I've noticed recently that MXA has had an awful
lot of advertising and fewer articles (one issue had *40* pages of
FOX ads in the front! Ugh!). Still a good mag.

DIRT RIDER - This mag has some good articles on riding techniques
every once in a while. I don't trust their reviews though - I've
noticed that they hardly have anything bad to say about any bike.
They also play favorites and promote bikes/gear/etc that have
advertisements in their mag. Boo. DIRT RIDER is also the youngest
mag - if I remember right, they only started up a couple years ago.


I'll take DIRT BIKE any day. I read it cover to cover and then pass
it around to the buddies, who also read it cover to cover. Good stuff!

Russ:  Of course, you KNOW this is a bad idea.  Unfortunately, somebody,

under the influence of ANY drugs or alcohol.  

Anyway... that off my chest.  Welcome to the group.  It's good to have another

Riding on ice? Of course, but I don't actually race.  More like, in the spring

No, I don't suppose it's because bycycle riders pedal all the time 
cause they don't. They go uphill and then downhill or they pedal
on a level road and then coast. BUT that's not my question. You
think bycycle riders work harder, I don't think so, but then again
I don't ride a bycycle, I ride a open-class motocrosser. Johnny 
O'Mara or Mike Bell could answer that since they have done both. 
You would think if you had been to a National Outdoor MX race that
riding a 500cc motorcycle was harder by looking at the dead bodies
around the pits after a moto was harder than a racing a bycycle.
One guy on the net  got pissed cause I asked why don't bycycle 
riders where protective gear in a demanding way. I still don't
accept the reasons he gave. Call me arrogant, but if technology
can develop a bycycle that is more costly than a generic motorcycle,
then there got to be gear you can wear which won't hinder your performance.
I still would trade a slower speed for protection when I fall.
The guy asked me to go pedal up a hill with full gear and then ask  
me to say how I felt, well, unless you plan on staying there at
the top forever, I would be tired but happy to know I'm proteted
when I come back down the 3000 ft. drop.  Speed is speed, don't make a        
difference if you're on a bycycle or on a motorcycle. 
I just want to know why not wear a lot more than lycra shorts and
jersey.  I personally don't give a s**t what anybody wears NOW.
If you want to pedal your ass around in fruit-of-the-looms,
that's fine with me.  The AMA has a slogan, Dress for the Crash,
Not the Ride. Seems to me you won't hurt as much if you do crash.
I don't plan on going to the ground with bare knees and elbows.

  It's not a question of working harder, it's a question of cooling
Even going uphill, an MX'er will keep an nice full breeze going through
your vented Fox Roost II.  

  Downhill bicyclist definitely could benefit from protective gear, but
it's stupid to suggest wearing MX gear on a bicycle all the time.

HI,

My husband & I are looking for some good places to go riding.
We live in the SF Bay area and have gone to a few OHV parks,
Hollister, Stonyford(excellent riding!!!)...

Where are some other challenging places to go.   We are going to
someplace called Black Lake or something(near Tahoe) for Laber Day(i think).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
