You'll not regret the big bore kit ~ best upgrade for my worn-out KLR I made to it.

Glad to see you on a TW ~ they're a hoot. My butt couldn't tolerate it for very long periods of time, but there aren't too many places they won't get into!

Fixt.

RWC is still alive?! How you been? Yup, the little TW has some clear advantages over the 400 pound hulk sitting sadly in the corner of my garage. With a 36 inch inseam and 250 lbs, comfort is not on that list. So far it hasn't gotten me into any trouble it couldn't get me out of

FOUND in good condition by some rock hounders in a sand wash off Succor Cr road 7 miles from my house. It was out of gas and they couldn't get the KTM locking gas cap off. I got a knock on my door at 5:30 from the Sheriff and had the bike loaded in the truck an hour later. Thanks everyone for your wishes of luck, it worked.

Glad you got it back. I saw this today in the Argus Observer:

After 3 yrs, I'm finally moving back to boise!

Sam, you still in hawaii?

Glad they didn't trash it, I love happy endings !

Congrats on getting your bike back Joe! That's awesome news

had to be some tweenagers...:ddog durn punks!... glad you got it back, hope it's not too damaged

Nope, I'm back. But I'll tell you this winter thing makes those tropics seem pleasant right now.

Yea that does sound nice, I cant wait for summer. How long have you been back?

2 years now. I wondered where you went. So what happened, start growing webbing between your toes and fingers and came beck to dry out.

Lol yea cant wait to get back to a dryer climate. I got laid off and found work out of state to get by for a few years. First we moved up to Spokane for two years, we had a lot of fun while we were there and made lots of great friends. Spokane was a lot like boise, but has the special type of crazies only found in north idaho and south of the mason dixie(lol its not just a myth). Then I got a job here in Seattle last year, its been fun, tons of site seeing all summer long. I just accepted a job offer in meridian, we are in the middle of packing things up

I am surprised we didn't cross paths. Welcome back to Boise. I left Boise late 2008 and moved to Spokane for a new job. I am now happily back in Boise to stay (I hope). We met some terrific people in Spokane and will miss them. I'd enjoy meeting up with you guys for a ride this year. I am up for about any kind of riding.

Wow that is crazy. Yea it would be great to meet up and do some riding, summer cant come soon enough. Though there is some good(but exhausting) riding around boise even during the winter if there isnt to much snow on the ground . But at the moment I dont have a motorcycle, probably will be a few months before I get one.

With winter blues attempting to take root upon my soul, I take a stoic look back to reflect back on the great year I had. in light of the dire predictions, and well, I am still here and so are you. So instead of going into 2013 with any predetermined nay-saying, gloom and doom... aside from politics. I am once again looking forward to seeing you all out there yet once again. Beside this thread needs a little bump.

Hope it brought a smile...

See you out there

Been following Mr Whitaker on adventure in SA. Got this link today on the race. Watch the incredible save the rider makes at the 1:06-1:08 mark into the video. Now I remember why racing and going fast is a young mans game!

You gotta stay loose and let the bike move around under you
