NX 650? Isn't that bike known as the Dominatrix in Europe?




A buddy of mine had one. It was fun to ride. ;)

That's the one

I love riding it, when it's working right. But most of the time when it's not, the name fits it well.

Right now my TT cart is at $1800

Hey that's the one that makes it look like a KTM . Well at least on the 800.

1800 sounds more like a down payment than a order amount.

Anyone riding tomorrow? Or any riding that needs to be done? I can make some .gpx tracks for the rally if needed. If no one is going, I think I am going to go find that road I was babbling about a couple of weeks ago.

Also, Odie has not been to LC yet. Not sure if he can ride tomorrow or not, but just throwing that out there .

Is that a rubber hat to cover your TT boner?

That's 3 times the TX rate, but they make it up on property taxes here.

Ouch, rub it in. At least they have "summer" while in Texas we have "hell on earth" season.

Ya'll getting some rain down there? What's the latest on Shady's last ride?

I was told some people would like to see this. I just finished so we'll see how it goes. Mine weren't completely clogged so I didn't rebuild them but I flushed them after soaking them in sea foam for a few hours.

shady? Oh....you mean the "no text messaging back" fella? No i-dee. I'll try again. Until he posted today I thought he might have already moved.

And I got a little rain today. Have to wait for the NWRG report later in the day. Guessing it'll the best rain total in months and months. Maybe .75-1.0". Too little and too late for the lake I paid to re-stock in the spring but .....better than nothing.
