Dude, that is really tempting! Hopefully I will sell the 4 wheeler soon. If I do I am pretty sure I will get it. Is he advertising it anywhere? Plus it would be really cool to have an extra set of gear.
 
I havent talked to him in 2 weeks so I dont know if he still has it but hes not in a hurry or hurting for money , just scared to get back on it . i will try to call him tonite and see wassup .

Good deal. I talked to Don and he was interested in it but he doesn't have the cash right now. I told him that if he didn't buy it then I would, granted I sell the 4 wheeler. Then he would have a bike to ride either way. Hopefully he will hang on to it until I can take it off his hands. Nothing like having a backup bike!

Went to Kentuck ORV trail yesterday. Pretty good place. Got a few pics, I will post them sometime Monday when I get to work. Had a little crash, but didn't get hurt. Bent the handlebars and the levers and slightly bent the left radiator. Nothing too serious though. I think I can get it back to normal pretty easy. Got to find some stronger handlebars though. It was a highside. Much more forgiving to highside on the dirtbike than the R1. Just rolled a little bit into a dirt pile. Then got back up and rode back to the truck to straighten out the bars the best I could.

The guys I rode with were pretty cool too. Rob, James, and Steve, I appreciate them letting me go with them and showing me around the place. Rob and Steve both have R1's, so I am gonna try and get them to make a Deal's Gap trip and bring the dirtbikes with them and head over to Tellico.

Brother, I swear Christmas is about to wipe me out, dollar-wise!
Plus, add a New Year's trip to Florida, and a Vegas trip 2 weeks after that :jump and my cash flow looks like :ugh

Maybe I can afford one come springtime??

Velocityboy, you are exactly right. It was quite slick in some places there. Definately evidence of lots of atvs there.


Steve, I will keep my fingers crossed. Sounds like a busy few weeks for you! Have fun and win some money in Vegas, then you can get that dirtbike sooner!
 
Nice KTM . did you come from Vegas to Ky just to ride dirt ? either way its cool that you are riding ! its been 3 weeks since I got the YZ out , i was gonna ride sunday but I went to a Christmas party sat. night and killed a fifth of Absolut and stayed up waaayyy to late ! :beer

I went out to the track and got about 8 laps in and then my sprocket ripped off my hub.....:bs :mad:

got a friend to buy me a OEM hub for $68.00 new:D
I had it happen on my first YZ back in 86 and since then I check my sprocket bolts and alot of other bolts for tightness every ride or two . I think its more of a two stroke problem . One more reason to want a 4 banger . Doing a hub replacement is a biatch , I hope you have done it before and have time on your hands , good luck !:)

that was from when I lived in Alabama and it was a 4 hour ride each way to get there. All that damn land in the country and we had no where to ride. Now that I'm in Vegas there are a ton of places to ride. Also no damn mud

I will post them first thing in the morning. I had to go to another office this morning and was not able to download them. BTW, it was a set of Renthal Bars. Bent them worse that the stocks. I am gonna look at getting some Pro Tapers next. I hear they are really strong.

Brian, check out those pics in Vegas... We need to go out there, that looks like a ton of fun. And no stinking slick mud.
