Re: The Colorado BS thread
Also might have the added bonus of getting me out of those horrid touristy photos where they pose you in all kinds of dumbass positions on the beaches of Mexico when we go soon. I've often mocked the sackless men who are forced by their spouses to partake in those sessions on the beach while I scratch myself and drink yet another cervesa which was delivered to me upon my request. I can hear her now, "Well we are NOT getting our pictures taken with thing on your upper lip." Me: "Uno cervesa por favor. Rapido!!"

Ride safe out there. Wear your gear, and remember no one can see you.
No one can help you with experience other than getting out and riding, but this video is VERY good, and I highly recommend watching it.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Jim, the F650GS actually has a really low seat height for a Dual Sport/Adventure Bike. You can adjust it all the way down to 30 or 31 inches I believe.
I talked to STM Suspensions up in FoCo and he'll be lowering my bike 2.5" for me, plus tuning it for what my plans are. 80% Street/Highway and 20% Maintained Dirt Roads. After that its going to Elite Motorsports in Loveland and getting reshod with Pirelli Scorpion Dual Sport tires that are a good 70/30 Street/Dirt tire with a lot of good reviews.

Negative on both. These funky overheating issues I've had though appear to be fairly common with Subarus and non-OEM thermostats. I'll be anxious to see what is in the car in just a bit here. I'll admit though, the one I got is HUGE.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
That's insane. My motor now has 60,000 on it. I am really hoping these sporadic overheating issues are not because of bad head gaskets. I've now ruled out faulty gauge, sensor, or wiring and now thermostat (trying to go in order of $$). Let's see if it does it again and then I'll look at rad and water pump.

Its a Subaru, of course it needs headgaskets. Thats part of the 5,000 mile oil change service on those boxer engines.
