Does anybody know if the winner of the adventure grant, Carter "Kickastro", is posting or blogging his ride anywhere? I've only seen one post on another board with little response. I would like to see something about the planning and the trip. Hopefully lots of photos too! I know I sounded like a hater earlier, but it was not directed at Carter. I really am glad for him. I just want to see or hear about his trip. X |

Thank's for asking. The trip was amazing. I did it with my fiance who is also a photographer. We were not able to update live from the Uly, but we have excellent photos and plan to make a book soon. I hope to have a gallery link up in a couple weeks. I am absolutely loving the bike, but it is struggling off idle and is backfiring a bit. I had the dealer install the Comfort Kit and ECM flash too? Cheers

Welcome!! Glad to see you posting here.... WOOOO HOOOOO I hope you fall in love with that bike! The Uly is the best bike I have ever owned! Let her warm up a bit before you ride and it should be good to go. I start mine as I'm putting on my gear.... welcome to Badweb! |

So far it looks like he parked the Uly and spent his time in the Cabin I'm looking forward to the pics and ride report and congrats on the new bike |

As far as the ruff idle and backfiring , mine does the same thing until it has had a chance to warm up. After that it runs wonderfully. Have a great time with the bike and what ever is going on in the cabin. LOL |

I'll buy a copy of the book when it's ready. Santa Barbara's not to far from where I live in Thousand Oaks. |

When the rain comes off the added on porch roof it is going to rust the muffler. Welcome to Badweb, dirty rotten winner. |

Yes, yes...that's what you call it. It's character. |

LOL,that is a nice cabin though. Here is a shot of me on my attempt to get the Uly into some hairy s*%t. It was much steeper than it appears! Way too high of a stock gearing ratio and the tires were not up to the task either. I have a thumper for this kind of stuff, but I am going to do the XB9 Primary sawp for sure. I am really excited to get this bike dialed in!

My Uly has no character. |

Thats the kind of stuff I take mine on all the time. You just have to go fast, pick your line, and don't look at the big rocks. Congratulations on the bike. Ride it hard. |
