Adventure riding short rides and BS thread

also, one can always turn a BARF rally into an adventure riding meet-up opportunity. my happy place, Weaver Bally, above Weaverville and the 49er Motel, BARF Hoho party central this coming weekend. think BARF has done the Hoho Rally in Weaverville almost every year since 2016:

I "adventured" about 50 feet off the pavement for this pic :ROFLMAO:


( jeez, barely have 100 miles on it, and the rear brake has started squealing terribly!)

I keep looking at that open area right behind the cylinders as the perfect spot to cook a burrito on the road!

Sounds like possibly contaminated pads/rotor. Clean your brake pads and rotor with rubbing alcohol and lightly sand both with 320 grit sandpaper.

Thanks I will try that.
I also have a hone made for discs i'll probably try (on one side only, since i'm too lazy to remove the wheel/disc for this. For now.
 
In keeping with the New Adv announcements, here's mine!

2026 KTM 390 ADV X. Its the short one (825mm seat height) that I can get one foot (or 2 sets of toes) on the ground. After a couple hundred miles, we have bonded nicely. Ergos fit me well. Handles surprisingly well with it's "Apollo TRAMPLR XR" tires. LOL! :ride

Nice bike!
wow 825mm is 32.5"
I thought my Ibex450 was low at 33.5
I love being able to finally touch the ground, but I'm actually looking to buy a tall seat (+2)which I hope is more comfortable (padding) and easier to go from sit to standing (brings it to same height as my KLR, which I always thought was nicely low (Compared to my sky high dirt bikes! )
Now if i could just find one in stock ...:(
 
thanks for the seat tip Thumperx (I don't really do fbook, but i'll try to get in there)
Racking up some good s miles bonding w the ibex?
