Where Are We?

We had another gorgeous day, and took the DRZ's out again. I just can't say enough good things about these bikes! They are light, nimble, and they just bull their way through the sand, ruts, and downed brush. We left with a few road numbers we wanted to check out, but the forest service really doesn't do a good job of keeping the roads marked. We had a great time, and explored some roads we hadn't been on before, but we also ran into some dead ends. All part of the adventure!

Here is a perfect example of a road marker, with no number. The forest service uses these brown stakes, and stick on numbers. Very often, the numbers have dried up, and blown away. 

Hmmm. Can't go that way! We took a road to the right, instead.

 Many times, we can go around downed trees, but not this one. There was an even bigger tree, hiding behind the skinny one.

What? Kind of a spiffy place to be hiding off a forest service road.

 Billy came up with a clever way to attach a map to his bike. Good ol' duck tape! It worked great!









So  many roads, so little time! Pick one, and see where it takes you!

Busy Weekend!

Billy was busy out in the shop this weekend. Our BMW F800GS, that we affectionately refer to as "Darth", got some maintenance. A new center stand, new tires, and a new chain & sprockets. 

 Getting ready to install the center stand. The trickiest part, is stretching the spring!

It looks like that new center stand is working nicely! Now it's time to get that old chain and sprocket set off.

Changing the tire.

 Making sure the tube isn't pinched.

Billy balances the new tire, and gets ready to put Darth back together.

Also this weekend, our black DRZ got a set of sturdy new Barkbusters.

What's this? Our friend, Vic, came by with his BMW F800GS. 
If you have a need for three F800's, or if our other two have already been rented, this bike can be made available.

 Customer Ralph, came by this weekend, to take advantage of our $100 a day deal. Ralph had a great time on our red KLR.

What is going on here? Is our BMW F650GS pretending to be a cafe racer? No. We're in the process of installing new handle bars. We have found that this bike needs a sturdier handlebar, than what comes stock.








We are expecting some really good weather this week. Don't forget about our $90 and $100 a day rental promotion for the KLR's, DRZ's, and KLX! It's a great time to ride!

So, as you can see, it's been a busy time at Oregon Dual Sport Rental & Adventures!
