    Anyone interested in getting into some dirt. Maybe a one day trip to St Helen. Monday is looking even better.

    Sunday high of 51 down here and 43 in West Branch. Looks like rain in West Branch though, of course all that might change yet . .

    Hey Randy, you in for another ride ? I know a perfect place for your 990 Adventure, it'll be great, i promise :D

    I've got some 2 yr old DOT approved knobbies that are up for grabs. The front has about 60% tread left and the rear is in the 40% to 50% range. I put on new ones for this year's U.P. trip so I don't need these. If any of you guys who like to ride gravel roads would like to give the sand a try (on the cheap), offer up a 6-pack of something brewed in Michigan and we'll call it a fair trade.

    I might be in for a ride this weekend. Probably take the 530 though, so I have an advantage over Bruno :-)

    It probably just needs a little more header-wrap. Looks like they missed a spot. :lol3

    Since it has header wrap it could be listed as a mad max rat bike. It will sell for sure. Ill trade you a few vintage chainsaws for it.

    Make sure you put "bobber" in the title. That seems to increase the value.

    "Bobber" is preferred over "project"

    True. "Cafe" also raises the value by at least $500.

    Ran when I parked it so I'm sure it is something simple and cheap to fix. Could be the muffler bearing....

    Hey Guys,

    I was at Holiday Powersports in Michigan Center today and they had a bunch of new 2013 models on the floor. I spoke with the salesman and about a KTM 300XC-W. Nice light bike with plenty of power. He was telling me that they had already sold one with a dual sport kit on it and the owner was able to get it tagged. I was looking at the 350EXC as it comes already tagged, but always wanted another 2 stroke. Do you think this salesman was correct about being able to plate a 2 stroke bike in Michigan? It it possible? Thanks in advance for any replies....
