Have you considered a Husky TE250 or TE310? Unlike the 250 KTM these bikes have tail and head lights on them. You could add a limited Sicass kit to them and have a smaller bike with great power and get a tag in KS as a new bike registered in KS. You would have to add a brake switch to the rear mast...

"Full Circle: Four Decades of Baja Racing", the story of Malcolm Smith and JN Roberts winning the Baja 1000 in 1967, then teaming it up to run it again in 2007 on a Husky TC510. http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/extras/videos+&+books/dvd_full+circle:+four+decades+of+baja+racing Wow, that sounds gr...

EXCELLENT PHOTOS from DAKAR! A coworker found these for me.

Rusty, of http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com just posted this to the KC Dualsport Group . Sounds like fun. What to do when the weather won't cooperate? Watch Moto Movies of course! I've worked out a deal with Pizza Shoppe next door to our Smithville store. They bought a new big screen for the back m...

Thanks for the info and links, Mike!

I posted the few photos I took in my Picasa Web Album. With the overcast skies and fog, I did not bother to take many.

I own a heated vest, but did not bring it. Stupid. Uhhhhhhhhh ... At leat lie and say it broke! Perhaps shorted out and caused sparks to fly out of your fly so you thought you ought to protect your manhood and ride with the vest unplugged! This will sound odd I know, but I really did not think I'd ...

Wow, I can't imagine riding at that temperature at any fast speed!! You guys must be wearing heated clothing I assume? Eddie has heated jacket and gloves. I only have heated grips. I own a heated vest, but did not bring it. Stupid. I wear a Fieldsheer suit that is very effective in keeping me warm ...

I can't feel my toes! :shock. Turns out wind chill is not just caused by the wind blowing. If you move 70 mph in 30 degree air, you got wind chill. Who knew?!

Most folks do seem to think we are a bit looney. You should head SOUTH in January, Eddie, not North!

I AM IN!

You talking about this week or the weekend? Weather looks good for this weekend. I may be busy on the Monday holiday, though. I assume you are thinking road ride that includes a good deal of gravel? I ask because I have a rider with a pavement-only machine who'd be interested if it was compatible. O...

Sounds great! Doubt I'll make it, though.

Sorry to hear about your gas problem. First off, I'd suggest you refrain from smoking while working on the bike. :lol: I can confirm that the DR350 petcock does not have an off position. Supposedly it is off until the engine pulls vacuum. I've not heard of them going bad, but I can tell you that the...

Troy, Any suggestions for "options" as outlined by Waggoner above I definitely have some thoughts on this... First the short version: I think we should do nothing, shut up, install quiet pipes, and ride the trails we want to ride. While doing this, respect the rights of private property owners and ...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 4, 2010 Ouachita National Forest Makes Travel Management Decision Designations to Take Effect This Spring I have attached the announcement as a PDF. As you might expect, the announcement regarding OHV use in the forest is not good news for us. For the Ouachita National ...

A closer place to ride off road is Cooper Creek ATV area at Truman Lake. http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/ht/ATVArea.cfm It is closer at about 90 miles from downtown, KC. Perry Lake OHV area is closer to the metro. http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/pe/Trails-ATV.cfm True that Truman Lake also offers a rid...

Welcome, Joe! Legal off-road riding anywhere close to the metro?! Nothing. Closest legal, public off-road riding that I'm aware of is at Perry Lake. Too far to ride the DR350 unless you want a really long day in the saddle. (I beat the heck out of a 1999 DR350 for a couple of years of hard riding in...

So I spent about an hour shoveling driveways with the neighbors. I worked up a good sweat inside my Fieldsheer riding suit--man that thing keeps your warm. I figured what better way to cool off than a nice ride around the yard--in over a foot of snow! Larger photos in my Picasa Album: http://picasaw...
