Compared to the KTM: same as the KLR except KTM is more responsive and certainly has more power.

Compared to a certain yellow DRZ: I believe the yellow one is more responsive. It might be tire traction, but the yellow one is easier to wheelie. The suspension seems about the same, but I haven't gotten any air with it yet....

Overall, looks like it will be a nice dirt toy

So far so good then!

New bike paid for, shipping is being coordinated. In an ideal situation it would be picked up on Thursday and delivered Friday. Which would *hopefully* give me enough time to get over to DMV to get it plated for a Saturday ride. That or I just have to wait for next week. Time to farkle.

Cool...make sure Matt provides money for farkles as well.

I think I'm slightly indebted to Matt for awhile. Perhaps I can get the SMARs to sponsor me. I'll even put a SMAR sticker on my bike. Think of me as Bill Conger Lite.... only no awesomeness and no dakar rally.

Probably no sponsoring from my household for a while.

On to plan B. Anyone want a baby?

I'll cut you a good deal.

VACommuter · 12-11-2012, 09:26 AM

Hmmm. I don't want a baby... My garage is already painted... Your professional skills would be useful to balance my checkbook if I ever took the time to do that... What else can you do?

I know for a fact he isn't joking about that.

I'm game. Maybe we should make it a short trip around the Moy so Bruce can join us.

Saturday or Sunday for EB?

EOD3MC · 12-12-2012, 04:52 PM

EB is Sunday....
New Years day around the Moy sounds good....meet for breakfast? or just drop in at Base Camp that morning...

joints4sale · 12-12-2012, 04:54 PM

Up to Bruce.
