Yes sir, we do! But, I'm bikeless right now. Stop into Cam Spray sometime and say hey. Did you know Jim sold his KTM? There is a couple others here that may get dual sports. I'm looking for one for a few grand so I have the option to upgrade or buy a second bike next summer. Tyler Pro is wanting to sell his DR650, but it's kick only. My TT600s taught me the joys of kick only!!

I heard that Jim sold that fine 990/950. Chased him down one day and he finally stopped when he got gas at RockC.

My 640 is still in the shop. But the 520 will get taken out this weekend! It's going to hit 40 degrees ya know!

PM'd you as well.

Word to big bird!

Stay tuned for photos!

Then we will go for a ride! On the streets of course, neither of us have studded tires.

You can show up anytime. I will be home all day!

Anybody going to the swap meet/cycle show in Des Moines this weekend at the fairgrounds?

Anyone ever been to it?

I would guess it's more Harley type stuff, but I'm thinking about checking it out.

$10 admission, at the 4h building.

I went to a gun show at the 4h building 2 weekends ago, it was a fire hazard. There were a number of times where the crowds would just stop and you would be trapped. I hope the crowds aren't quite as big.

Is it on Sunday as well?

Give us an update tomorrow and let us know if it's worth going to or not!
I have prior obligations helping another inmate. I'm not into harley stuff anyways.

Thanks for spending the $10 so we don't have too!

You do realize I ride a KLR. $10 is a lot of $.

I told my wife after the gun show, that the next time I suggested it, she should take my $6 and kick me in the nutz.

If I spend $10 and have to endure and endless OCC/Pirate crowd, well I just don't know, but you'll owe me...

Edit to add: I found a bit more info, it sponsored by chromehorsechoppers. They will be having live bands and a tattoo contest. I stopped at Fenders at lunch and they were cleaning/packing up. Not sure what to expect, but I don't have a tattoo, so I can't enter the contest.

I just paid my registration; each of my bikes is $10.50 a year. I think insurance might be ~$12 a year on each...
