    So what's the steed for 08?

    So what's everyone racing in 2008? Obviously I wasn't around much last year and between last season changes, and a host of offseason switches, I have NFI idea anymore who's riding what!

    Holland on a motard? No more 600?
    Watts on a... what? 848?
    Pete on a SV? (maybe.. yea yea..??)

    So list them up!

    Me, if I do any local racing it will probably be on my RMZ450 still, somehow.

    As for me, I will be racing the same 91 ex500 I was racing next year, with a few upgrades and hopefully a new paint job. It was fun, it was reliable, I was moving relatively quick (for an EX anyway). I fear change.

    The 848 is becoming too hard to find. For a good candidate(crashed) of course. I'm leaning towards a GSXR right now.........

    Only the motard till school is done with. Probably a few more read-deal supermoto races. Some hare scrambles, dirt, street , ice and all that.

    I should have calculated how many superbikes I could have bought with the money I've paid and am paying NU, I wouldn't have gone back. Between that and owning a home, no way I can afford the big bikes until the lamb skin comes in.

    Leaning towards a what? Going for some Dash for Cash money in '08?

    Myself, I'm sticking to the Duc and run the lightweight classes. If I can afford to fix my roof AND go for an 800, I'll be pretty happy. If not, I'll be hammering the tar out of the 750 for another season. I'm sure getting flogged by brewmaster a couple times will help me find some money....

    Not teasing... I got a CRF250 that I bought without the wifes consent and a New Streethawk. I HAVE to sell the race Hawk (and another Hawk I am building to sell... race or street) so she won't disown me.

    Alex, she's all yours. You are the only one left who hasn't used it. removing 6 different #'s for a paint job this year has busted my wifes hair dryer.
