gloryracing Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 What the 'Ass" above is referring to...picked up a puncture early on a Saturday morning. Attempted to plug with a sticky string but it would not seal. Tried twice. I have done this many times and they have always held. The only thing I can figure is that the strings had sat under the seat for to long and lost some of there mojo. Don't know for sure??? So...if your strings have been around for a while, you may want to consider replacing with new. Regarding tire changes, I am always willing to help another rider! Unless of coursed they are an 'Ass'!

Member Contributer 00Yeller Posted April 18, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 18, 2014 Never, never argue w/ a "Versys" rider... They will beat you up w/ that 49 "F'ing" horsepower all day long and wave at you while they are doing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted April 18, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 18, 2014 Amen brother! Fortunately an Arkansas hound dog took care of that machine so we will be spared future humiliation this summer!

I will never forget that 4 finger waggle as that versys walked away. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Yokel Posted June 1, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yeah, it really is coming up quick. God, I can't wait. Going for a ride with Miguel and Rolomarr tomorrow and am already thinking ahead for the AR ride. Terrible. I finally live in one of the better motorcycling states and just want to ride in AR. Geez... it's never enough is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VcFR Posted June 6, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hey guys, my daughter and her friend are wanting to come with us this year. One of the girls can ride with huntinggunns, but the other will need a ride. I have yet to have a pillion, and I don't know that even if I started practicing now that I would be confident enough to have a pillion for this ride (especially on 123). So, I wanted to see if she could ride with one of y'all? Sent from my SGH-T999L using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Yokel Posted June 6, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 6, 2014 *raises hand* I don't mind running 2 up if she has gear and a sense of adventure. ;-) Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted June 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 7, 2014 You're not bringing any wildlife with you, are you? I hope to sneek out of town w/o the bastage's notice. And avoid riding near dusk and dawn. However, my eyes will remain Wide Open. We did have to hit the brakes for them several times while riding in the area last year. Saw more there than the on the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted June 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 7, 2014 I imagine you're coming down I-35 and I'm not real close to where I-35 goes through KC but if you're needing a place to overnight, or take a break for a few hours just let me know. I'm over by KCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted June 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sounds good to me. I need two days to get there. KC is a convenient place to stop. I'll let you know more as the time arrives. p.s. What is KCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
