Yes, that is the bike I'm taking. I'm bringing both sets of wheels though so one day it may be paved riding and the next could be dirty stuff

**skiierx** · 02-10-06, 06:15 PM

Are you bringing the R6 for the long days or will the KTM be good for that too?

BTW, What a nice setup!

R7 · 02-10-06, 06:26 PM

Thanks

The KTM should be fine for those long street days. Only problem I see is it only holds 1.8 gallons of gas so I'm limited to 75-100 miles per tank. As of now the plan is to leave the R6 at home

I'll bring a siphon hose and a tow strap.

Just bring two bikes! One for street and dirt and one for more street and more dirt! I do

We don't want to have to tow a trailer down so there's no room for the extra bike. besides, I've got the wheels swap down pretty good and can make the change over in about 35 minutes

The R6 is simply for posing, I may even do a Friday afternoon practice to scrub the tires in for added bling

I guess you just have to set your prioritys. Motorcycles are more of a life style than a hobbie, for me anyway.

If you have to narrow the garage down to only 2 bikes it would have to be a sport bike and a dual sport ( or street legal dirt bike)

Then you get the best of both worlds. Dirt riding helps your street skills a lot.

Agree completely, I grew up riding dirtbikes, and ate the dirt many a time. its a different animal. I miss dirt riding. i'm thinkin about gettin another dirtbike for the winter months. I remember when I was like 16, snaggin my dads 85' plymouth voyager, taking out the seats, and cramin a CR 125 and a YZ80 in there; hittin the trails on a rainy day and destroying that poor hoopties interior with mud and gas on the way home.. ahh memories..

That mileage will be just fine with our vtwin gas hogs...we are only good for 100 as well. You just might want a little comfort on those 12-15 hour days.

**Wayne-o** · 02-11-06, 05:28 PM

Here's my bikes. I don't wash mine either Clayton
