    I guess the good thing is, I have plenty of time to see it nice and clean and keep a good visual of it in my head. As Tom said, give me time with it

    wow...that ktm makes me jizz in my pants

    always good to see bikes that are well cared for...and it makes me want to clean mine!

    is it just the angle, or do the dirty wheels make the pumpkin sit higher?

    The wheels are the biggest factor seeing the 17's are on the WR, but also because the WR has the smaller wheels and uses the same sidestand, it's sits almost straight up and adds all the static sag.

    As soon as the snow is gone, trail cleanup will start. However this year, I'd like to wait for the ground to dry up a bit before any real riding. The bike ruts from last spring never really filled in.
    I havn't been able to get very far, even with the 4x4 quad, the snow is still to deap and crusty. From what i can see walking tho, there's a ton of downed limbs and pine tree face slappers leaning into the trails.

    I am almost ready to ride. PK needs to rebuild my rear shock add a fat buy spring and new fat boy springs in the front and refresh.

    Re: Spring cleaning

    Spent some time in the woods today and they don't need as much work as I thought. Most of the hanging branches have already started to pull up by themselves, and there's only a few sticks here and there that are in the trails. Still snowy, but the ground under is soup. I'm guessing it'll be a bit before they are ridable with a bike
