    Speaking of rear racks, I need one for a DRZ400-S. Prefer PMB but let me know what you have. Thanks. :thumb

    So my girlfriend is moving to CO from BC (yeah, WTF is she doing?) in May - June time frame. She has two horses, and we're looking to board in the Boulder County area since I'll be working in Gun Barrel.

    Anyone have some property in the area they'd be willing to let us board at? We don't need stables or anything, just a fenced in pastor or something. There are tons of boarding places, I know, but just seeing if I can score a deal with an ADVer.

    PM me if you've got anything or any ideas.

    Thanks,

    Rob

    I'm looking for a new home (for me) but inventory is ridiculously low. Do you know someone in BOULDER thinking about selling?

    My criteria:
    House, Condo, or Townhome
    1+ car garage
    2+ bedrooms
    2+ baths
    Location: City of Boulder

    I'd prefer a 3 bedroom house. I'm open to anything priced under $420,000. If it's on the MLS, I've already seen it.

    Please PM or call me if you have any leads. 303.746.6896

    p.s. Yes, I'm a Realtor but this is NOT an attempt to pick up new listings. I'm looking for a personal residence for myself and I'm tapping all my networks. :deal

    $420,000 :eek1

    How about a mostly remodeled 4 bedroom, 2 bath, with a heated/insulated 3.5 car garage for $200K?




    It's in Colorado Springs though. :evil

    Sounds great, except for that last part. It really needs to be in the City of Boulder. My business is based here and my ties to the community are deepest here.

    I'm looking for someone with a Moto Guzzi Norge who would be willing to let me test-fit the Norge wheels to my Stelvio. I just want to know if they fit.

    Will settle for matte or gloss black, nothing else. Not looking for the Gascan. The Gascan S is the small/slim model.

    They don't make 'em anymore and I would prefer to stay away from Ebay for now.

    Looking for hopefully inexpensive stock muffler for my Suzuki DR350. The local equestrians and law enforcement will really appreciate it.

    I'm sure this is wishful thinking, but I would like to trade my '11 990 standard suspension for an '08's taller "S" spec suspension. My suspension has around 4k miles on it, and is in very good condition.

    Good luck there. While we're on wishful thinking, I have a KLR650 I'd like to trade someone for a GS1200 :rofl

    On your 990 suspension, you might think about going 2 steps stiffer on the front for springs. It made a big difference on mine. Unless you are >6'2", the longer suspension really makes the 990 difficult to handle, especially if you have a decent (thick) seat on it. Unless you are doing a lot of big hits for a lot of your riding, I think the shorter travel works just fine.

    Hey, it can't hurt to ask.

    Thanks for the tip on the springs. I definitely need to do something as the front is far too soft. I am planning on doing a fair amount of dirt 2up riding, and am going to get the suspension tuned. I was just hoping to save a few bucks. I'm a long legged 6'2" and can easily balance the standard bike.

    This is a long shot, but...

    Me, my GF and the doggies are going to be moving on June 1st. We currently live in East Boulder and are looking to move to a reasonably priced rental home in south boulder, lafayette, superior or louisvile. After living on the second floor of an apartment complex we want a yard. I also have a ton of moto's so a garage is also mandatory.

    Shoot me a PM if you know of anything for rent, we are open to suggestions and are respectful working folks (im an mechanical engineer / construction manager in boulder and she's a teacher in golden). Frankly I would love to own a home and am very handy, but work is too variable to justify such a long term investment.

    Looking for a Scotts sub mount kit for a 05 KTM 250. Many different years should fit. Just the post and mounting kit, already have the damper. Also, just the post would work as well as I'll probably end up going with the HDB sub mount eventually.

    Looking for a set of 7/8" handlebars. Steel or aluminum, it doesn't matter as long as they are straight. I have a set of 1.125" bars that I can trade you for if you need some. They are cut down for woods riding though, so not much room for extra stuff on them.

    Is that the mystery bike that was sitting on a trailer at WestFest last summer?
