Quote from CCjon on November 13, 2015, 7:27 pmBent valves???? That's a first.
Got my KLR rig up and running, plan to take it to Colorado too. Thanks for letting me steal some of your mod ideas. See you there.

Quote from Rush n Ride r on February 3, 2016, 11:16 amJust a note on the topic of local beer. For those of you who travel with a Growler there is a small brewery in Paonia, the next town over. I've always found a full one makes the campsite so much more like home. 😉

Quote from DRONE on February 3, 2016, 1:59 pmGeorge, this thread is all about the 2015 Rally. 2015!
The thread for the 2016 rally is here -- 2016 USCA Rigs In The Rockies Rally
Revolution Brewing is indeed located in Paonia, about a 13-minute ride from the 2016 rally HQ (according to Google.)

Quote from tx2sturgis on July 25, 2016, 6:37 pmI wonder if Joe ever got this rig running again?

I haven't seen any posts from you over on SS for a while...
It was fun last year meeting you and all the gang....this year I'll be at Sturgis with my Ural Solo.
Yeah I often wonder how that all turned out for Joe, what a super guy.
Take care Jon!

Yep it up and running, now a 705 with cams and carb work all done. I only cost about $3,000. The doohickey failed and the balance chain slapped around and caused the cam chain to jump and that is what bent the valves, so fix those doohickey's before it is too late.
I had a stroke the 1st of June so I had to miss Hotchkiss but still waiting on my t-shirts That I had ordered.
Thanks for asking, Joe

Quote from CCjon on July 29, 2016, 5:38 pmMoved on to a different pasture after I sold Da'mit the URAL. Bought, rode and sold Da'mu the killer whale GoldWing rig.Now playing with a KLR650 cargo rig while Claude builds me a serious RTW Vstrom sidecar camper, though I most likely won't go RTW. Trans-Canada - Alaska would be a nice shake-down loop.... in 2017?
Next years USCA rally will be in Corning, NY, guaranteed to be cooler than Hotchkiss...

Quote from Marine By Choice on July 29, 2016, 6:29 pmHere is a suggestion for breaking in the new rig. There is a new road being constructed north on Inuvik, NWT to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. I am considering a June or July trip to ride it in 2017.
In addition, the road is a key supply line for Tuktoyaktuk and the hamlet of Aklavik. It is part of the Dempster Highway. The rest of the Dempster Highway is on land and can be driven on through the summer. Construction of an all-weather highway between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk commenced in April 2013.

Quote from Al Olme on July 29, 2016, 9:45 pmThere was a request to unfreeze this thread so it has been done. That said, if you want to have a lengthy discussion, particularly one that really isn't about the 2015 rally, maybe it would be a good idea to move it to a better place. No one looking for threads about burnt valves will come looking for it here.
