Might consider a seat trade, though this one is pretty good so far.

It's way above my level, but it's a blast to ride. Spending a lot of hours practicing single skills and just generally getting comfortable with how it (and I) react.

(wheelie action shot for Whitey)

I needed that today! Damn you have lost some weight too! Good for you Dox!

Hard to disagree with logic like that, but at this point I'd consider the KLR more Kathy Bates and the WR closer to Rachel Ray. Cute, peppy personality, a little extra meat on the bones, can cook when needed.

No need for apology - just giving you jealous crap for living in the middle of enduro heaven.

I have one and am not afraid to admit it or take it on a long ride.

Thought about it but rather have done the motor work myself but sadly, I already have 2 Hondas in pieces and no time to work on those.

I think I found my next project bike but I need to find a 690E someone will let me ride on a motocross track.

For those in the ktm-yam debate, I found this interesting comparison of the age old bmw-ktm debate.

My ktm is still unmolested engine wise. I bought all the parts, they are just still in the boxes....

Thanks! You mentioned a while back how linear and controllable the big-bore four stroke KTM's are, it is pretty insane how good it feels coming off the DRZ. DRZ feels kinda "clumsy" now.

Good looking bike Dox. That come from WV?

Oil service will last at least one full ride for me Apparently the valves barely move on the newer XC4 engines, but there's not a very long history to show how reliable they will be compared to the RFS powerplants.

Yeah, it's from WV.

Thanks dood

Still not going to "go for a ride" in your white candy van, no matter how many more times you ask.

I had to send my gopro off to get fixed. I must have hit one too many tree limbs with it on that last AA loop at the Baby Burr ride because it just locked up on me and I couldn't turn it off. I told them to just send me the new H3 in return..

Don't get your hopes up video haters...I still have an older H1 to bring to Crow.

Hey Sion, did you get the XR fixed this past weekend? If not, maybe you could get BuildIT to loan you his YZ426 since he doesn't ever ride it.

I've been too lazy to ride much of anything recently. We all go thru slumps from time to time. As for the YZ it's still for sale.
