    One last look...

    before I turn it back into a dirtbike for the winter I washed it this afternoon and figured I'd snap a few pictures before I put the bumpy tires back on for the winter

    Don't mind all the leaves, that's tomorrows cleaning project

    c'mon...
    cleaing up the leaves has to be one of the dumbest things people do. For starters they insulate your lawn from snow over the winter and second they are fuking leaves!

    I got a little story. I thought it was hilarious
    last week I was driving down the street(not too busy of a street but 30mph limit) and this guy is blowing the leaves in his yard out into the street and hes got about 90% of them off his lawn. I come driving by doing maybe 35 and the draft blows the leaves he prob just spent 40 mins blowing into the street up into the air and what do you know right back onto his lawn.
    This guy starts screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs at me. I couldnt catch what he was saying but I could still hear him three or four houses down the road. I could not stop laughing.
    Is that frickin hilarious or am I just a dick?

    I can't believe it will look the same after riding the trails with it.
    I love the brakes and hubs in the gold ano.

    You should keep your R6 street and track a Motard

    Yes they do insulate your lawn but what do I care if the lawn freezes? It's going to grow back! Plus if you don't remove the leaves, you'll end up with dead spots that won't grow back without re-seading

    I'd let you ride it again but you'd need to put your feet down a few times where you'd have to ride it and ...... well, I think you may not be able to do that
    Who said anything about puting it away? It's going trail riding until the snow flies and the ice forms.

    Do I want the offset triples, Yes! Will I buy them, probably not! I don't want to spend anything until I see how the work outlook is for next season (one of the downfalls of being in construction)

    It'll look the same after trail riding, it's usually me that takes the hit during a get off

    haha touche buddy, touche...

    You def need those offsets... the front end was chattering like a motherfucker powering out of 6 and through 7. I hear you on the money thing though... I've got a lot of things I would like to get but currently cannot...

    I've been told I can get rid of "some" of that chatter just by lowering the fork tubes in the stock triples. I also never changed any of the stock MX settings on the forks or rear shock. My last YZ had the same chatter, in the same location..you get used to it

    Duct tape is like "The Force". It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

    It was this big place in NH, really cool place, lots of turns and lots of cool people to hang with. NHMS maybe was the name?

    I dunno dude I'll have to r-u-googly it.

    I so need to get to a track day next year...after I buy a trailer and get divorced...she takes the trailer and then I buy a new trailer...to live in...seeing the tires alone riddle me with envy.

    That rocks...like Fox in Socks. It's a kid thang, you wouldn't understand.

    Is the paintbrush stiff enough to get the gunk off or do you use it to apply the simple green?

    Honestly this bike hasn't seen any gunk buildup yet...which is why I clean then often

    First thing I do is spray off all the heavy stuff with the hose. Then I spray the simple green on, let it sit for 10-20 seconds and just brush/stab away with the paintbrush..it's a good one, not the $1.99 brushes. Rinse it off again and that's it. Well I do use a leaf blower (electric) to dry it
