Re: 2 Vectrix scooters left in the KC metro

I reported that Vectrix went bankrupt. This is unfortunate because from every report I've read, this high-end electric scooter worked perfect. When gas prices hit $4/g, Olathe Suzuki was progressive enough to order 3 Vectrix scooters. They had a ton of interest, but only sold one. They have 2 left a...

I would, but I'm actually heading out to Colorado this coming week to ride trails. If you go to West Fest, Stu, let us know how it goes! 8)

Re: What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?

1990? That's an early one! But almost identical to a 2006! "Book value" is going to be very low of course. In my opinion, any good dualsport motorcycle that is in clean running condition is worth at least $1,500. However, I'd hope to purchase it for $1,000 or less. $800 might be a good target.

Saturday, June 13th ?

So my brother, KC, is coming up to KC this Fri eve on his Vstrom. We want to do some kind of 1/2 day or longer ride this Saturday, June 13th. I am looking for options, so if any of you have something planned or know of something, post it here please. One squirrel-brained idea I have is to surprise t...

Re: White Cloud ride May 30th.

No photos from anyone, eh? Glad you all had a good time! That is one of the better dualsport road rides in KS...in my limited experience anyway. That Doniphan County soil is extraordinary--peels off your front tire like water as a boat hull slices through.

Re: White Cloud ride May 30th.

...but you still end up with some monkey butt. I finally took Mark "Big Dog" Sampson's advice and purchased some "Anti-Monkey Butt" powder from Walmart for my 950 mile ride Memorial Day weekend. That stuff works well. Main point is--keep things dry. Whatever you do, don't accidentally buy the "Monk...

Re: Anyone going to the Hare Scramble in MO?

Slim, so did you go or not? I am betting from this conversation and the miserable drizzle all day Sun & Mon that you did not make the trip.

I put 950 miles on the Vstrom and although it rained on me for 2 days solid, I really enjoyed myself.

Re: Anyone going to the Hare Scramble in MO?

Hey, Slim! I plan to pack my tent and bag on the Vstrom (650) and head out Fri eve to return Monday late afternoon. My loose plan is to head towards Mountain View, AR, and I have a route designed that should be fantastic. I'd love to make meeting you at Walters Ranch on Monday part of my adventure, ...

Re: THE CRICKETS IN THE ROOM ARE DRIVING ME INSANE

Safiri, my coworker, who owns thousands of dollars worth of bicycles, showed me one of those Danny MacAskill videos. Simply the most amazing stunts on a bicycle I've ever seen. Riding along the top of a metal picket fence! One of those drops he does must be 20+ feet onto concrete and he lands soft a...
