Memorial Day Weekend is this week!

Time to load up the bikes, throw the camping gear together, and disappear into the dirt for a few days.

Nothing beats campfires, trail rides, and waking up next to your bike with good people and no schedule. Who else is pumped for some moto camping this weekend?

Adventure doesn’t always go according to plan.

Today, a traveler named Austin rolled into the shop on his 2005 KLR650 after his worn-out clutch perch was giving him problems mid-journey. With miles still ahead and no direct replacement part on the shelf, the easy answer would’ve been “sorry, can’t help.” But that’s not how riders treat riders.

Even though we don’t have a service department, we jumped in, pieced together a temporary fix, and got him back on the road and chasing the next horizon.

That’s what the motorcycle community is all about, helping each other out when it matters most. Safe travels, Austin! Hope the KLR carries you many more miles ahead.

Summer’s right around the corner, are you and your bike ready for it?

Fresh oil? Drivetrain dialed in? Tires good to go?
Nothing kills a perfect ride faster than something you could’ve caught in the garage.

Keep in mind, this is the time of year when everyone’s getting their bikes ready, so certain parts start going fast and can take longer to get in.

Take a few minutes to give your bike a once-over now, so you’re not stuck waiting when you should be riding.

What’s on your pre-summer checklist?
