The Santa Report
22 Dec 2010, written by moto 1 CommentsSo what’s on your moto list for Santa? There are so many farkles I have been lusting after for the upcoming moto season, things to make my bike ride better, things to make my riding more comfortable, things to keep my body intact in the event of an “off.” Most of them are rather big ticket items, so I didn’t put any of these on my list for my family to think about. I didn’t drop any subtle hints like “Gee, I’d really like that $1,200 KLIM Rally jacket. So Santa, this one is for you: I’ve been pretty good this year. I’ve had a few ups and downs. I had one mishap that scared the bejeezus out of me, and escaped with nothing more than a bad ankle sprain which is still quite bothersome when I go skiing, but I won’t complain. At least I’m skiing. But just in case you have any room left in the sled, here are a few things I wouldn’t mind under the tree:
1. KLIM Rally Jacket and Pants (Size small jacket. Size 32 pants).
2. Spot II Satellite GPS Messenger and 1-year subscription. Just in case.
3. Scotts Steering Stabilizer for the BMW F800 GS.
4. Renazco Custom Saddle. Without the 15 month wait.
5. Set of Xenon(HID) + Fog lights for the BMW F800GS from Touratech.
I believe, Santa, I believe.
Klim Rally Suit
07 Apr 2010, written by moto 2 CommentsHas anyone out there seen this new Rally jacket from Klim (besides you, Chris M., since you are the one who pointed it out to me originally. Thanks for that. Now I am utterly confused as to this, new BMW Rallye 3, or Rukka gear. Please post comments if you know where this Klim gear can be found. Word has it, this jacket is somewhere in the ballpark of $1,200, but is full Gore-Tex. Anybody?
We Got Dakar Rally Photos
04 Jan 2010, written by moto 0 CommentsOne of our very own Utah dualsport posse members found himself smack dab in the middle of the send-off of this year’s Dakar Rally, which started on January 1st in Argentina. Stanton Jones, owner of PCTV, sent us a few snaps of some of the bikes at the starting area. It’s on my to-do list to go spectate this event someday, preferably via motorbike. For now, I’ll just have to drool over these bike photos.
