    HD - I am not certain but it is a 95 or 6. I believe it is one of the early estart units (but hell, who can figure out KTMs anyway?) His has a radiator fan! (I guess that's a "special option" - LOL ;-)

    That's a trip that you and the maestro live so close to each other! Small world - 'eh!?

    Gotcha. They are tough to figure out...lol. I think estart started in 1996. Mine doesn't have it...wish it did sometimes. And yes...crazy how we live so close. I have been down his street many, many times...walking dogs with my wife, riding my bicycle...and riding the KTM...lol. You can't be far either I imagine. Fort Walton Beach is a small area...lol.

    I'd like ta go myself but I am just feeling a bit too lazy this morn to go thru all the motions and truck up to hutton. :-/ Plus I have to get vittles at WD, do laundry, move stuff into the man shed from the house, yadda yadda... I'm gonna try to stop by FWB Motorsports over on Racetrack road (I've never been in there before) and see if they have handlebars - lord knows Carlos and his twin over at Brute force wouldn't have any...

    Sperz - good news man. 'Cept, of course, for the working too much thing. Whatcha working at these days?

    Well I can't help thinking about our local gazoonies all out at the Big Dawg this morning. I wonder if they ever gathered up enough street legal bikes to get their own class...

    My money's on Bret! Go Barney GO!!! :deal :clap

    Well I just wasn't up to getting up at the peep o' day this AM to catch the start of the Big Dawg. I bet they did have enough DS bikes to have their own ADV class. Hope those guys have a fun, safe ride!

    As for me, well I'll be heading out in a bit to ride the Lap Dawg. Yorkie Division.:D

    Shows ya that this POGs place is truely the place for a guy like me w/out the ability to remember anything correctly...

    Just called 3 "powersports" outfits here in FWB. Nope -- not even they have any handlebars I can put my hands on -- EVERYTHING now a days is ordered. Sigh - Think I'll head over to Carlos and buy a new set of gloves. I KNOW they have those, and the dude can probably use any little sale he can get...

    Just ordered more schwag:

    Long odds on that one, my goals are:

    1)Have fun.
    2)Don't do anything stupid.





    However, we do thank you for your support.

    The old bike is running good, suspension could stand a revalve.

    Load up the TA, would be a good Sunday ride.

    Bars, grips, and barkbusters on. Not as simple as I thought it would be...

    Need an assist with the new scorpion front tire and tube (never changed one myself - got no spoons) and an impact wrench for the new front sprocket.

    Love the new bars and acerbis guards! It's a toss up as to which to take to TT3. KLX or TA. Both'll be tight in a short bed that needs the tailgate up to tow the camper... Leaning toward the KLX though the beast route is sending good vibes...
