I am very honored to have Woody's Wheel Works as a sponsor on this project. I have my own set of Woody's wheels on my GSA that I've had for four years now and I can tell you from first hand experience how amazing they are. I did this video a few months ago and for whatever reason, I've noticed it going viral in the last few weeks. It seems every time I look there's another 1,000 views! Check here at the 2:02 mark where I talk about these amazing wheels and why you'd want them: The bottom line for me is that I like riding my big bike off road mostly and you will find most oem wheels just won't stand up to that level of use for long. You can destroy your oem wheels if you like, or you can invest in an extra set of Woody's wheels and then you'll have a street set and a dirt set! I actually did destroy my oem wheels and had Woody re-build those too They are STRONGER. Woody uses the best rims in the industry (I have Excel Takasago) as well as very strong spokes and are specially laced like no other wheel. They are LIGHTER too. These billet Superlite hubs look fantastic and will out-perform anything from the manufacturer. A year or two ago, our friend Isaac Feliu did an AMAZING trip through Africa down and up and then all the way up to Nordkaap and back down to Spain, stopping at the Nurburgring to do a blistering lap! Afterwards we were talking about how his wheels didn't stand up so well and how he was looking to replace them with something better. I recommended Woody's Wheels and they rest, they say, is history. Isaac is now a sponsored rider by Woody's as well as the Euro retailer for Woody's Wheels (and many other fine mfg's) with his company, Twin Trail. Woody's Wheels have been proven in the Dakar and are also featured on Lyndon Poskitt's bike. Kim Krause is another Woody's rider. A couple things you might not know about Woody's is that they aim to be a bit of a sanctuary for traveling big bike ADV riders like us. Stop by and check them out and camp at their shop grounds. They even have showers! Plans are in the works as well for a New England rider training and guided rides operation. What has been your experience with your oem or Woody's wheels?

I figured now we have a bike, I'd put this thread here. What we have is a 2011 KTM 990 Adventure with just 3,000 miles! It's very clean and has never even been off road before. We hope to change that! My objective is to have a bike we can bring to all our regional events that can showcase some of the best the after market vendor world has to offer. It's purpose is to become a basis of discussion as to how these things make a difference in our riding. One of the reasons I picked a 990 is primarily because we couldn't get a new bike donated! It's also because there are a lot of people making stuff for the 990 and it has a lot of good real estate on which to put custom graphics wrap on. Besides, the 990 also happens to be a great bike in the dirt. It's also important to note here that none of this stuff is "free" that we're getting just because XLADV is so awesome. This bike came out of my pocket and most of the aftermarket parts are being provided at simply a discount. I'm happy to showcase these products and put sponsors' logos on the bike for their efforts. That's one thing I wanted XLADV to stand out for and that's a solid partnership with the v

Woody's Wheels are legendary. Isaac shows here why you'd want a set for your bike If you ride your big bike off road a lot and are tired of changing your tires from knobbies to road tires and back, it may be a good investment to get a second set of wheels. Besides, they are lighter and stronger than your OEM rims and will stand up to the abuse. I have run a set of them for about three years now. No complaints
