Samaritans purse is one of the best charities to support. They will be helping until everyone is back to normal. Baptist men is also one of the groups that stay active until the end. It’s best to contact the group you want to help and ask them what they need before sending any thing. Thank you for using your channel to support the efforts to rebuild the area Doc. We got hit pretty hard in my area, but not as bad as the higher areas did. My town and most people are back to mostly normal. Restored power and roads cleared and at least temporarily patched. Probably be at least a year before being repaired completely. One of the hardest hit area is Green River Cove. Destroyed the road and around 25 houses. I don’t know if the total number of people lost in the storm will ever be known but I am sure it will be higher than reported. The town of Chimney Rock was completely destroyed and the river bed is 3-4 times wider than before. It is hard to imagine the amount of damage that was caused by the hurricane. If you are a praying person that is the best thing to do in my opinion. GOD is the best thing to lean on. I’m amazed at the way the country has come together to support the area and help. USA is the best country on earth!!!

Hello Craig! You can set the torque limits on the wrench to what you need. I went with the recommendation from WARP9 and it was 44-inch pounds. That is the factory setting so it is a matter of ensuring the spokes stay at the factory torque as they will loosen a bit when you first use the wheels. Great comment by the way!

Thanks for putting up the video. I've got a DR and took it out on a 4-5 hour trip in roughly 30 Degree Celsius recently with a bunch of guys on BMW sport touring bikes and cruisers. Most of the trip was easy going back road but we did a solid hour of 130km/hr and I gotta tell you that was about the noisiest windy ride I've been on. Physically it was a little tiring but the noise at that speed was insane, ear plugs included. (I didn't overheat though :) ) My concern with a short screen like that, and I could hear it in the video, is the buffeting at speed. I feel the width would allow enough air to keep cool. For some background, I currently also ride an ST1100 and spent some time and money on getting a shield that lets very little air through. I can see just over it and it is extra wide too. Great for cold weather (Canadian here), real stinker in heat described above but that's what the DR is for I guess right? After all that: Any experience at say sustained 80MPH+ freeway speeds with that shield? Noisy?
@doc650adventures4 ай бұрын
Great comment Man! Congratulations on owning one of the best motorcycles ever made! The windscreen does not fully eliminate the buffeting at higher speeds but does mitigate it some. It greatly helps in colder weather by reducing the wind hitting your chest and rising up towards your helmet. It is definitely a good addition for the DR. There are some other good windscreens which provide more wind deflection out there. I guess the Parabelum screen is a compromise between size and capability . Great to hear from a neighbor up in Canada! Hope this video was of some help and ride safe Mate!

After two pinch flats in two months, I am looking to try this heavy sidewall tire on my DR650. Did you go with the 120mm or the 130mm width? I am running a Shinko 244 in the 5.10 width currently.
@doc650adventures6 ай бұрын
Hello! I went with the 130 in the rear. It does well on and off road. The side walls are tough and a pinch flat should not be an issue. An example of this is K had them sitting around for awhile (mounted) and put them back on my DR and they looked fine. In always check tire pressures before a ride and they were at really low pressure even though they supported the weight of the bike fine. Also, a friend has them on his Tenere and he rode across the US twice and still had plenty of tread left. They can get sketchy in wet situations though due to the tire compound. Hope this helps! Ride On and Cheers!!
