So I have a lot going on at the moment. New job (same company, huge step up in responsibilities,) upcoming vacation (first real vacation I've taken that didn't involve the family,) and found myself unhappy with the handling of my bike. The latter may sound like no big deal, but I'm traveling a tad over 1100 miles to ride the gap. The last thing I want to worry about while so far from home is issues with the bike behaving poorly.

I spent several evenings this week and most of...

My vmax clutch needs replaced. I am thinking of going with Barrnet spring conversion kit and friction plates. Has anyone used these kits on there vmax, and if so what are your comments on them. Thanks, Tom

Man, what an amazing weekend. A weeks worth of planning to surprise my brother for his birthday and it went off almost without a hitch. The 1 hitch was I had set my gopro up before I left to start recording when it was turned on. By the time I made it to his house, the damn SD card was full and I could not for the life of me figure out how to clear it. Oh well, I got the surprise itself with my cellphone. I burst into his house in full dirt-gear "LETS GO RIDE FUCKER!"

So I guess someone here informed the dirt of my intent to punish it. Well, it tried to get back at me today and nearly did it really well. I showed up at the ranch that my club leases and was lucky enough that there was another rider there. I won't ride alone out there as I am new to riding dirt, and do not know my way around the property very well. The guy is an older gentleman and really nice. I explained my situation and he said he would be happy to lead me through some of the unmarked trails...
