I can still see a limited road trip with you two and your hot rods. Although I would be limited to paved sections only.

I can't speak for whyzee, but as far as I'm concerned bring it on. I've even considered hosting a little Boise gathering if there was interest.

Just received my forks and shock back from John @ Moto-Pro on Thursday. Spent Friday evening and Saturday morning re assembling. Thanks John, you were great the whole way.
I had my forks and shock re-sprung and re-valved for my 225 pound (and gaining
) butt. I have set the rider sag and ridden the bike only a few blocks over to a friends house and I can already notice the improvements 
I am excited to get out on the trails again!!
I decided to make the upgrade on my suspension due to the last time out riding (7 weeks ago today) I was climbing a steep hill (with the stock tires, now have better knobbies) and didnt make it to the top. Before I came to a standstill at the apex I made a U-turn and came back down the hill (off the beaten trail) WAAAAYYYYY too fast and hit a cross-cut and the suspension (rear mostly) bottomed out and donkey-kicked me so hard it compressed my spine. I have been nursing this injury ever since.
Anyhow I have my bike together (suspension took 3 weeks turn around time w/ shipping factored in). I am ready to start riding again.
I now have my bike farkled the way I want it with the exception of: A) still want to add Unabiker radiator guards, and B) would like to have some of those Double-Take mirrors to replace the marginally useful stock mirrors.
Happy Mothers Day.

Hey thanks for the props guys 
I know nothing about bike of the month. I posted the picture due to the fact I was excited to reassemble my bike after 3 weeks of being torn apart. Also didnt really have any pictures of it in its current form.
If you would like to see other pics/angles, I would be happy to provide.
I am glad that you think it is attractive, but really feel as if it is just like all the 250s that I see on here.
Also, I will report back when I get some more trail/offroad miles logged. I have only ridden it around town a bit so far. I like what I feel from the newly reworked suspension on the street, but the knobby tires are definitely a different feel on the pavement. Hopefully some dirt miles will be logged real soon.

We have our local bike thing coming up soon here in Elko, NV, but hell yeah, I can always feel like hitting up a small ride get together, just that sometimes it just does not fit! hmm. Seriously though, I am game for a nice day or two ride weekend. A three state cruise? lol
