    Still cant find anything on waterproofing it, the kawi 250s forums really suck. Seems like nobody does anything with the bikes on the forum except argue over what slip on is the quietest.

    BTW I might take the my SM out tonight and raise some hell on the street after work. I haven't ridden it since a week ago sunday when we all went riding in the everglades. I was out of town for the last week and just got back last night. So I kind got the urge to drag some footpegs around bonita springs/naples/FMB this evening. Anyone want to join???

    i might be game for a beer at the Rhino but that's probly as far as i'd be willing to go. the KLX has turned into a daily driver for me since the clutch went out in my car. i ride about 80 miles a day on the bike as it is right now..... i'm kinda pooped.

    Josh, I'm jealous! Opening Day football tickets. I got Sunday off so I could watch the Colts play that evening. I am free all day Sunday though until then if anyone is up for a ride anywhere.

    Wow, congrats Rich. That looks awesome! Did you buy that from Freedom Motor Sports? It probably rides smooth as hell.

    Horatio where'd you get that color from???? it looks great!.

    Rich that is awesome! i'm down for some riding tomorrow. give me a call and we'll do some riding. i put a few hundred miles on the bike today/tonight. a few might have been on the rear tire only :evil a few more where i'm pretty sure i shouldn't have been. i found a awesome private golf course though.

    i'm still not sure if the FWC liked it or was eying me... damn guy snuck up on me with that wrangler.

    What size is that, it looks small from the picture, but is it a drz400?

    At first it reminded me of the little air cooled suzuki I rode at my MSF course. I had to sit on the passenger pillon, and my knees were still hitting the bar ends
