[theducman]

Just got this baby for the wife and I to get into light trail riding. 418 miles on a 2001! now where to ride

[jasnmar]

Gratz!

[theducman]

Thanks!! Got such a good deal $1500!!

[Chippertheripper]

Those are dangeriss.

[theducman]

Why do you say that?

lolz

ewww









j/k - t's kay...when I did LA-Barstow to Vegas my friend's KTM exc5## actually blew his fork seals or something all got oil all over the rotors so badly that he didn't want to ride it anymore...so he swapped to his wife's XT...and lasted way longer than the KTM!

furthermore, towards the end of the ride, in the most "technical" part of the ride (which wasn't *that* bad ) his XT went through like a tractor while I was getting bucked the F off by a tall stiff MX suspension



and tbh, it's all I *need* to go dual sporting...the 40-50hp bikes can get dangerous

[Chippertheripper]

oh those ktm's must be junk, eh.


They're dangeriss because trees jump out at you, and rocks make you tip over, and mud is yucky.

Wow that's awesome to hear. Guess this little thumper is a good bike.

[breakdirt916]

yeah, those air cooled 10hp 200cc thumpers'll all mostly get there...eventually (so long as you're light)...

here I am riding with a 450x and 450f

[theducman]

I am impressed by how that bike made it up that hill.

[nhbubba]

Why do you say that?

'Cause they're gateway drugs.

Why do you have no where to ride?? You're only an hour away from Pachaug (Voluntown, CT). The trails are still good, ground isn't frozen. 55 degrees tmmrow.

[theducman]

I am definitely going to go to pachaug. The bike is not registered yet. Guess I have to bring the bike to the dmv to get inspected first.

He said NOW where to ride? But with that plate and stock muffler, I'm thinking he can ride anywhere!

PS- that looks clean! Jealous of the plate-ability!

HAHhahhah! Yeah, I'm an idiot. Good catch

[Petorius]

Let me know when you hit up Pachaug. I have been a few times since getting my KDX in October, I like it a lot. There is a marked enduro loop that has plenty of challenging spots. Just make sure you do it in the right direction, which I think is clockwise if I remember correctly.

[South of Heaven]

Yeah, Pachaug is pretty fun. And big. I never really figured it out.....LOL

[MattR302]

Don't need an inspection, just a VIN check since you bought it out of state. I usually go to Hamden DMV since it's like a mile from my house, but apparently some shops can do VIN checks too

Also, I'd be interested in doing some light trails once I get my 350 running again.

[Garandman]

Anywhere you can ride in the hills around Meriden?

[csmutty]

Sweet! Nice pick up Mike!!

Pete, sounds great! The wife and I will have to take turns riding it but would love to go with you.

Good to know, I will check the dmv site.

None that I know of.

Thanks buddy.

[theducman]

Ok so this thing came with Cheng Shin tires that are brand new. I will keep on but are they crap? I have never heard of that brand.

[Kurlon]

Chinese, actually fairly common and not completely horrible. They are not the 'hot setup' but I'd run'em anyways.
