DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

It's not uncommon to come back from a big trip and step away from the bike for a while.

Gotta run close to 30 psi to keep them from wearing as quickly on asphalt especially the front. I recon that is the same for any nobbie on asphalt. Most importantly with rim locks, gotta run 3 to 4 Oz of weight opposite the rim of rim lock. I used trial and error with using weights that screw lock onto the spokes. Massive difference!
For me...I got to say I'm more concerned riding a dirt bike any more than 100 miles in a day. Anyone try it? It's tiring big time. I'd imagine riding with a group may be less tiring but at the end of the KAT, I wonder if I'll hate my wonderful new dirt bike.
I know I'm likely in for this trip but in may I will need to ride to Tasker's, ride around all day then ride home b4 I commit to 5 days consecutive of a similar.

Nothing more thrilling than jumping into the unknown. This will be my first forte into multi day 100+ mile rides too.

You might be a little sore that second- third day. But you get used to it.
By day 3 you may not want to do the Hard sections.

Which is cool. Remember, you are doing this for fun.

My guess is beejaytee will kick ass on this ride!
The couple of times I've ridden with him he definitely had his s**t together and knew how to hand his 525!

The worst part about a long, multi-day ride on a dirt bike? The SEAT. I spent a good many miles standing when we did that Elk County ride.

Sounds like a buncha women in here with all the whinging!

The best part of a multi day ride is when you get up in the morning you get to ride! And the next day... you get to ride some more! I love these trips, as much as I love the big trail trips we do out west. We will get to do more, and more interesting, riding, see more stuff and test yourself and your machine further in 5 days then you will in a whole year of day trips. This will be a trip you'll look back on and laugh and smile about for years and years! Don't worry about the seat, don't worry about the soreness, don't worry about the break downs! Think about the scenery, the roads and trails you'll ride that you've never seen and might never see again! Think about how good the ice cream will taste at lunch, how cold the beer will be with dinner and how good you'll sleep in that cheap, flea bag hotel and all the awesome, hilarious stories you'll have to tell!

I got a pitcher of you from that ride too, mister.

Thanks for reminding me, I owe Junior a payback for that one.
