Re: 450/525 EXC KTM's

If you want to keep up with Leigh you are beyond help. If you want to have fun the 525 set up properly is very difficult to beat. (Troy and his new 450 Husky might disagree and rightfully so. It all depends on what you want and what bike best delivers that for you.) No, actually, I agree with Stu. ...

Create your own avatar

What's an avatar? Glad you asked. The little image associated with a member that you see next to their posts is called an "avatar". The forum comes with a lot of pre-loaded avatars that you can select from, but most people prefer to create their own custom avatar. Recently a member asked me how to c...

It does look fun, but not as fun as riding a full-size bike on dirt.

Re: EBAY BOYCOTT PLEASE READ LOCAL POWER SELLER IS A RIDER TOO!

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to create a new website for motorcycle/auto parts auctions. Chicken & egg. Sellers wont come unless you have buyers. Buyers wont come unless there is stuff for sale. Ebay had the huge advantage of first to market. Right now is a time when a lot of high-power s...

Re: EBAY BOYCOTT PLEASE READ LOCAL POWER SELLER IS A RIDER TOO!

It was probably organized as quickly as possible. It's not like ebay gives a huge advanced warning about raising prices and generally making it more difficult to do business. The latest changes, as I understand them, hurt sellers, not so much the buyers. You know, if ebay made a few changes that end...

Re: EBAY BOYCOTT PLEASE READ LOCAL POWER SELLER IS A RIDER TOO!

Good job in the interview, Joe. eBay just doesn't care. I'm a tiny drop in the bucket, but I won't be buying or selling anything on eBay during the strike. So they actually canceled all your auctions? You think it was in direct retaliation for your involvement in the strike? A-holes. I sure hope eno...

Yeah! Some idiots around here go out and spend a fortune on brand new, fancy-shmancy Huskies just to beat them up on the trail. What are you saying, safiri?! lol :)

Re: Chinese DS

"For the money, I am happy with it." And that is what matters. I read a conversation regarding the Chinese bikes and how people were bashing them. The best reply I saw was a wiser, older gentleman who said, "Yeah I remember similar conversations back in the 70's about those cheap Japanese bikes. Now...

Re: Can't decide what to get

Btw, I don't personally know much about quads, but have several friends with late model units. They seem to think the 4-wheel independent suspension is the only way to go. However, I'm pretty sure that you have to go with a pretty big, expensive unit to get that feature. It would make a big differen...

Re: Can't decide what to get

Kansas law allows you to ride gravel roads as long as your licensed for a car, have basic lighting, keep off the paved roads, paved road easements and follow rules in the small towns. Really?! Wow. I did not know this. I am surprised I have not seen more quads on KS gravel. Savage, you want one of ...

Re: Colorado 500 at Applebee's !!!!!

Whenever I go snow skiing, those areas alway have one or two of those really cool outdoor adventure sport channels. If we had those channels here, my DVR would never stop recording! WHY don't we get those channels here? I mean I get "Court TV". Like how big is that audience? No offense to the lawyer...

Here's my pic's from then. http://picasaweb.google.com/kware1/HuskyKTM/photo#5163595136209663634 Still have the Husky jersey. Kware, you stud!
