Jerky? Here's the BEST PLACE...It's in Bishop...very famous. I bought $81 bucks worth the day after Thanksgiving when I was driving to LA....it was gone a week later. http://www.smokedmeats.com/ Coincidentally, I'm hitting this place this Saturday on the way to Middlegate for next week's ride. It w...

Think of it as Cabelas light

Well I'll say one thing. Derrick knows his jerky.

Is Sportsman's Warehouse where you get that killer jerky, Derrick?

Anyone have problems with the nozzle and cap leaking? BOTH of my packs are leaking!! Only used once! I'm sure I can get new ones from Kolpin.....but anyone else have this problem? Leaking when pouring or leaking when stored on the machine? There is a black gasket that fits around the edge of the no...

Ken load your machine up and come out with Larry next Friday. Dammit we'll have a blast...

I've beaten the crap out of mine the last two trips. They still look great. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I'm very pleased with the Explorist XL, took some time getting it all sorted out, but with the Topo 3D software it's awesome. Huge color screen is easy to see in all conditions. Whatever you decide, try and find something that has an SD card so you're not limited to the internal storage. Larry did ...

I'll see how mine look after the pounding of 13 straight days of riding in Nevada next month.

I see that. No flex in that photo. You could have 10 psi in those for all we can tell

I think, given the flex issue, that my main reason for preferring radials is the better ride quality they give on the kind of rides I do.

For a radial, they do seem to be a tough tire... PS Yes they are. I pointed them at all kinds of sharp rocks and rock situations with out regard for potential sidewall injury.. I just didn't even pay attention to that risk and they ate it all up. An amazing tire Ken, at least for my kind of riding.

Thanks for the report back.... For a radial, they do seem to be a tough tire...Larry has 'em, and they worked pretty well. They don't seem to be as soft (I mean in appearance)...I didn't see them flex much and I think Larry runs at 3.5 lbs (1/2 lb less than me on 589's). What inflation did you run ...

I just returned from a trip, six days camping on the machines. The trails were very rough. The Big Horns ate it up without a mark on them, they have excellent traction, better than I expected. I'm super impressed with them, more than I thought I would be. Thumbs up!

I hope you guys have a good time. Be careful up there, I'll be down in the rim country in AZ during your trip.
