Almost time for the heated gloves. After about 30 minutes or so anyways. Earlier sunset means deer are active earlier too. Be safe out there.

I have my old gear that I am trying to find a good home for. I was in an accident this summer so the gear has some scuffs and scrapes but honestly, it stood up amazingly well. I’m seeing if anybody with a partner that rides and needs some cheap gear, or a stunt rider who is going to crash and doesn’t want to ruin new stuff could use it or if you do ADV and don’t care about cosmetics . I am fully confident that the damage is mostly cosmetic and would protect most people in another accident.

Klim Marakesh jacket M- two holes on elbow and wrist areas. All pads are intact, zippers all work. Amazing jacket for Colorado climate

Dainese Drake Air 2 Pants- size 52
Small wear patch above front right knee, light scuffing on butt area. All padding is in place and intact, basically just scuffed up.

Dainese Full Metal 6 Gloves -XXXL
These are $600 gloves and basically fully intact. Zero wear on any of the top side sliders, small wear patches on palms.

I’m not interested in parting it out, take it all or nothing. If you want to throw me a few bucks, that would be awesome, if you can’t swing it, I’m happy to have somebody protected instead of wearing jorts and flip flops.

'24 Triumph 900 Rally Pro has developed an engine knock or ping once it reaches temperature, before that normal sound and response. It sounds similar to detonation - the distinct metallic "knocking" or "pinging" sound (often called spark knock) heard from the engine. This happens at all speeds, rpm, and all gears, even at steady speed w/no extra load to the engine (when you'd expect it, like a slight incline). So bad at times that I back way off.

Assuming bad gas or dirty air filter (although I didn't just fill up and filter is clean) I siphoned out the remaining and went to a different station. I use only premium, name brand gas and did this 4 times, 4 different stations w/the same results. The siphoned gas went into another bike w/no ill effects.

Bike has 3000 miles and had it's first service at the dealer a year ago. I pointed out a leak at the clutch cover then, and since it is still leaking and before I take it in, I put the bike on the center stand for a better inspection and noticed that the oil was reaching the top of the spyglass. Immediately checked the coolant level and that's still full; assuming mingling like a car, if that was even possible here.

So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this engine problem or may know what it is. And would having the additional oil possibly be to blame. I appreciate any info and additional knowledge before taking the bike in.

It was a great day to try out my new tires (Dunlop Mutants). The hairpin turns are so much fun and there is a lot less traffic at 2:00 pm on a weekday. The wind was blowing!

Could and would you ride this on a naked street bike with street tires? Is it too late to do it this year? I went to cripple creek and victor today and had a blast, rode some dirt roads on 67 through pike forest and bike handled it no problem.

Good fall weather riding this week. Got Aurora Reservoir in the background on the Softail pic.

Forecast is looking pretty chilly next week. How late into the season do you all typically ride? Haven’t had a chance to grab any cold weather riding gear and hoping for a warmer swing before winter.

Hi, I'm going to hit Golden Gate canyon in Golden tomorrow morning at 10:30, seeing if anybody else wants to go. I'm a slow going somewhat newbie to this so if a casual pace sounds good let's go!

My favorite lookouts

I’ve got a 2008 BMW K 1200 GT, trying to find body parts without buying a whole parts bike. Are there any records in the area and keep motorcycles around?

Hey everyone! Looking for recommendations for an affordable, honest motorcycle mechanic in the Denver/Commerce City area. Mobile mechanics would be ideal since my bike isn’t currently rideable.
I recently purchased a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic. It broke down shortly after purchase, and despite replacing the fuel pump and a cracked fuel line, it starts, runs briefly, then stalls.
There’s also a possible oil leak I’d like diagnosed, along with some rust inside the gas tank.
I’m not looking for a full restoration, just someone reasonably priced who can diagnose the problems and give me a realistic estimate.
Any recommendations, especially independent or mobile mechanics? Thanks!

Hey Guy could you stop redlining your engine at the light every single time you stop at it like 3-5 times a day? And also like you are launching at a drag strip? Your bike sounds like shit, is not fast, and nobody is impressed by you going 28mph. if your bike is having idling issues maybe a good service or a tune might be able to help.Also a little confused by you redline revving it until a dog walker passes where you turn it off completely, and then start it and redline it again once the dog is across the street (but still deafening distance)? So you do know that you are a nuisance? You are the reason people hate motorcyclists and we all collectively face so many angry drivers and dangerous situations on the street.

Finally got my ktm 690 and looking for some fun off-road trails. Did Switzerland trail the other week and loved it. Any other recommendations? Thought about Rampart since I haven’t been there before. Thanks! Photo for fun

Great fall weather. Aurora Reservoir and then on to the county roads heading south.

Hey!

Kinda new to the area and was wondering if there are any short ish rides to do around Greenwood Village Area. Wanna ride a bit before evening time for work tomorrow haha!

I’ve done the Cherry Creek reservoir before, but if there’s any other suggestions, totally open for them!

Thanks!

Ended up near Elizabeth. Nice shot of Pikes Peak in the background.

Any dual sport riders want to do Johnny Park to Pearson Park after work this week.

On a r1, two days, 800 miles

I have a 2024 KTM 690 enduro, my kickstand switch got messed up to the point I can’t use the magnet trick, and I am waiting on a dongle to arrive.
Issue is I have a ride planned with some buddies Sunday so I’m going for a long shot here but seeing if anyone around the Denver area has an extra one. I would pay for it, just let me know!

Any recommendations on a place that can sew patches onto your leather? My wife got me this great patch and I’ve busted two needles!

Hey guys,

A bit flustered today as I was rear ended / sideswiped from behind on the way to work.
I am fine, the bike is fine, (turn indicator light just popped off, and plate holder is slightly bent) but the car’s fender is a bit busted from hitting me.

Still feel the adrenaline in the system as i am not normally a shaky individual.

Unfortunately, the video does not show me being hit but i tried to catch the guy’s face, and damage to his fender. Also got his plate and photos of damage to my bike.

Should i pursue this incident and get insurance and / or police involved, or is it not worth the hassle since nobody was hurt?

Thanks for your guys’ input!
