This guy shouldn't ride alone
Re: This guy shouldn't ride alone
At the BMW off-road school, we intentionally dropped their bikes with the feet up hill. Grab it by the front tire and spin it around until the tires are down hill; then just rock it back up on the tires and be ready for it to head off back down the hill - with or without you.

Actually, that bike is easier to get back up than my KLR650 was. When the KLR dirt naps, it's flat on the ground. The BMW can be easily rocked up on to the cylinder head bars where it's a lot easier to lift. Mine has all the scars to prove it works.

Bring the Bimmer to the farm and we can use it to check distance between trees on the loop. Bring back bad memories of the 3 wheeler days, sure it will fit, just hit it hard enough. Few to many times launched over the bars when the trees won.

Re: This guy shouldn't ride alone
My friend in VA says some places to ride down there have the typical posts at trailheads in the ground to only allow motorcycles. They have little protrusions at the bottom wide enough to only allow a moto tire. Apparently these go high enough to exclude the boxer BMWs too

Re: This guy shouldn't ride alone
I just cast the knobbies off the Bimmer in anticipation of doing some road miles April through the summer. Maybe we'll met up in Bald Eagle though for some of those trails.Boom Boom wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 1:28 pmBring the Bimmer to the farm and we can use it to check distance between trees on the loop.

Re: This guy shouldn't ride alone
Stephen, they've got those in Bald Eagle also. I found those trails on my WR250R but did not on the 1200GS. But from what I remember, they'd be wide enough to let me through so no excuses for not taking the bikapotomus off into the wild.smdub wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:30 pmMy friend in VA says some places to ride down there have the typical posts at trailheads in the ground to only allow motorcycles.

This is one of the trails in Bald Eagle that is for motorcycles only:
