At least he came prepared. +1 for offering some gear though.

Ahhh Google Maps. You gotta be happy with that?
Yeah pretty cool huh? Just the fact that we are interacting halfway around the world as easily as we could with someone down the street, is cool to me.

Negative, I am currently House shopping. I have been informed that an Adv bike, klx and a Flats Bote is all I am allowed for toys.

I was given permission, to get the klx head ported....so that along with my 351 will put me easily over the 30hp mark ..... so that will have to do for now.


One day....yes one day I will own one of those two smoke wide ratio tranny electric start smokers ... 300 mind ya....yes I will.

The lil klx will just play sweeper I guess.

I know, Thrasher's Trails is new, so it's hard to find even with the computer, but you weren't too far of at all. The Google Maps photo looks kind of outdated.

Yeah, I love mine so far. 200cc 2 strokes can make for great offroad bikes. Love the enigine in a 125 frame.

Speaking of 2 strokes, my friend Steve that I took riding just bought a used '96 KTM 360. Don't know which bike model, but I don't think it is the EXC. Seems like a pretty potent bike for someone just getting back into riding, we'll see how he does with it. I can't wait to take it for a rde, I want to see what that kind of power is like. I'll see if I can find the craigslist link. Edit, here it is http://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/1224316893.html

Oh yeah Finger Mullet, someone at the Dayton Dirt Riders trails let me take a spin on his new electric start KTM 300 XC-W, it even had a told switch for hot/mild power curves. I love his bike! There are a lot of people who ride KTMs at the DDR trails, and a lot of them show up on Wednesdays, a day that I will have off this week. Some of them have the rekluse clutches, and some have trials rear tires. I might have to sample some of these to see if it's worth it to try one of these mods.
