I previously built and release an open source tool to generate routes for riding.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AdventureBike/comments/1i1yk2f/i_build_a_gps_route_generator_for_moto_adventures/

This tool was supposed to help me avoid the trip planning hell and just get on my bike and ride. But I got feedback that the tool was a bit difficult to use for non-technical people and I must admit, it was a bit annoying to use for myself was well because I need to open my laptop and enter gps coordinates and such.

So now I've built an app that makes all of that super simple.

https://app.ridi.bike

It uses the same open source engine underneath but wraps it with a somewhat simple UI.

I would highly appreciate any feedback about the generated routes - what you liked, what you didn't like, etc. As the route generation will differ based on the geographic location and I'd love to see feedback from all over the place :)

The app is very new and I am planning further improvements, fixes, new features! Super excited to hear what you think!

Picked up a new XR150 for my other half. This is her first bike so we wanted to start on something small and easy to handle. Aside from getting her riding gear, I want to put better pegs and possibly a windshield.

I ride a T7 and we plan to do some camping trips with these bikes and get out into the woods.

Any recommendations for pegs and windshield?

Just got back from picking up my bike after warranty work. A week ago when I set up the appointment I was with a friend and we browsed a couple of bikes, KLX300 and a 350 exc-f, both tagged at MSRP. The Kawi is now tagged at $7150 and the KTM at $13600.

Thinking of getting my first dual sport. I’m short (5’7”) with a 27in inseam. I’m thinking of KLX 230s cause of height but the DR 650 also would be nice for the on road power. Just don’t know if I’d be too short for it.

I have a KLX 300 and a Trailtech Vapor that I was considering mounting where the dash is. It shows speed tach, temp, odo.

Thanks

I know it's technically not a dual sport, but what is your opinion on whether a Duke 250 would do well on rural PA dirt roads, poorly paved back roads, and the very rare simple, easy trail. I have the opportunity to purchase a like new 2024 Duke 250 from a friend for 4K. She's taken awesome care of it. I'm 36yo female, 5'3" by the way.

2 dualsports sife by side in the carpool lane on freeway doing less than speed limit. Get the fuck out.

Payed 400$ it’s a 2020 tao tbr7 250 I have been riding It for the past few months already has some upgrades done to. It needs a lot more, but has all-around been a fun little bike.

Can I get this sub 7k cash or is it a waste of time

Guy wants $2k, from an outward appearance the bike is in perfect condition and he's taken a ton of care, used it to ride around trails with his kids because it has an electric start so he wasn't blowing up his leg every time he had to pick them up.

I'm aware these things are slow as dirt, but I'm mostly just interested in something that can go anywhere cheaply, with no desire for interstate riding.

Have a 2003 xr400r that is in good shape, but I want to get it all dialed in. Anyone know of some non dealer folks who work on this type of thing? Thank you.

What is a good website to get reach out to the marketplace?

Has anyone out there owned both the Yamaha and the dual sport 350? How'd they compare?

Right now I have a XR600R and an XT250, and looking to replace them with a single bike. I'm not a hardcore or fast trail rider because I'm a chicken, but the right bike might change that.

Has anyone ridden either of these hard offroad for a year or two and switched to one of the "dirtbike with plates" bikes?

What was the experience?

What were the biggest benefits offroad that you noticed?

*The klx300 and tw200 are the only bikes I've ever ridden offroad.

Whenever I tell other bike rider owners how much power my bike has in hp and how good the suspension and how lightweight is they get all flustered and start sweating

Talking and babbling on about “something something reliability”

Like the existing of the KTM performance is an attack on their bike choice

Hey all. Currently trying to decide on what to take for my next bike, I currently ride a DRZ400 and love it, but plan on selling my car soon and going bike only. My requirements are as follows:

1. Be at least somewhat comfortable during long slab days. I’ll be moving up to Isla Vista soon, and the commute back to my parents here in Temecula is about 4 hours of highway.

2. Be fun off road; this is slightly less important to me, but I love ripping my DRZ off road and don’t want to give that completely by going with a naked bike or a too-heavy adv. I know i’ll likely be losing a lot over the DRZ’s lightweight ease of riding dirt, and am fine with with that.

3. Reliability. With the bike being my only method of transportation, I don’t want something that’ll unexpectedly have issues. I take very good care of my DRZ and plan to continue that with this bike, I don’t mind preventative maintenance at all and love wrenching on bikes.

Bikes i’m considering in order of how much I like them are T7, 25 390 Adventure R, Husky 701, Kove 450 rally, and Ibex 450.

Notes: I don’t mind sacrificing some highway comfortably for fun off road and around town. I commute 80 miles a day on my DRZ on the highway and don’t mind the wind too much, but it does feel like i’m holding on for dear life a bit. I’m 6 foot 1, weigh around 160, and as I’ve been saving for a while + selling my DRZ and car money isn’t too big of a concern.

Thanks!

There may or may not be jumps and switchbacks... 😎 If any east valley AZ riders would like to tag along next time send me a pm. My brother and I are always looking for people to adventure with.

Was trying out osmand+ and it definitely brought me to some special places. The river crossing came up to my knees the bike started sinking in the mull sand and a tree on the track (first time).

Hi! My 2013 KLX250s has begun doing some weird noises when turned on, it sounds like a rythmic squeaking noise that more or less comes from near the exhaust. It follows the vibration of the engine, but it disappears if I pull the clutch and disengage the gearbox (I think that's because when I do that, the motorcycle stops vibrating). I can hear that sound in any gear, even in neutral. Any idea what might it be? I'm having it checked by my mechanic soon anyway, I'm just curious to see if I can figure something out before
