I can tell it's gotten colder at night, my 300 is starting to mark the floor under the counter shaft sprocket again...

My first ever (ever ever) dirt ride was a pre-banquet ride with the LDR cats 2-ish years ago. They were (and continue to be) very patient with my noob ass. Not that I've improved all that much since then.

Hahaha Rada! Oops, at least it isn't too NSFW.
Sick ride, me likey the pumpkin!
As it is a tradition, the LDR crew will be there with maybe an appearance from the newly returned Larsonic.
I laughed out loud this morning at the wrong photo.
Really looking forward to this. Gotta get the comms up for me, Butler and Draghi.
I have to say you guys are completely changing my view of comms in the woods.
Found a spare stickie mount for my SMH5 cleaning some shit this last weekend.
I knew I should have been practicing riding while laughing my ass off.
Yeah, it'll get distracting.
So should I ditch the trials tire on the KTM and put a real dirty tire for the terrain?
I think you should. Clough can get relatively wet. I think trials tires don't handle mud so well. So I think you would be better served with something with bigger knobs.
I think. I'm new at this.
On the tire subject. I rolled the KTM out and inspected the tires the other day. Was hard to tell when coated in WV clay. But once clean I'm astonished at how badly I rounded off those fresh knobs in just 2.25 days of riding down there. Dirty tyres r soft and dey go kwick!
Trials tires have their place in NE terrain however of the couple of people I know that have run them one crashed pretty hard due to some slick mud (KB) and the other (ZX-12R) seems to love it but I have only ridden with him when it was relatively dry. What I can say is that the fast guys that I have the pleasure of going on the trails with (i.e. they wait for me at intersections) do not use trials tires. Most run the Bridgestone M59 front and a Pirelli MT16 rear. The front will vary from rider to rider but the vast majority running 18" rear wheels will have the MT16.
Affirmed my thoughts
Thanks
according to chipper, Vee rubber makes a good tire. my 300 came with one on the back. i have since changed the front to a dunlop but the Vee out back hasnt let me down once.
Anyone coming to this that is close ish to Framingham MA? Looking for a hand getting my CR to the new owner?
All legal and stuff!

Maybe it's just because i suck, but my kdx has mx tires on (I think IRC) and they seem fine at 12/12psi. Then again they're pretty fresh still... maybe they'll degrade badly as the knobs wear. I think i've got about 50 trail miles on them.
