I haven't been digging as deep as you are Carl, but I've been doing some rejuvenating of my own. :) http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss42/path_maker/Motorcycles/DSCN3557_zpsoiqpoonu.jpg Is that a Harbor freight stand? I just bought one and it wont stay up without the pin in it. :? Did I assemble ...

Wow super clean! Nice.

i will back off after i go through it once. It's that initial "get to know it" mode I am in right now.

Not bored here - This is great.. Although the SOS and cleaner, soon as I saw that I was wondering about the shine and the tiny scratches. Probably not see it on the white, but any other color might produce a bit of dulling.. Still though, they don't call it learning without being burned once or twi...

I tried to salvage the inner rear fender and tail light but I could not get the brake light circuit to work in the light itself. Also you can see the broken mounting tabs but I could have made those. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/KTM/IMG-20150816-01069_zps1xwdckt8.jpg http://i103.p...

Well the main rear fender fastener looks important and unique enough to deserve some special attention. How about a little cleaning with WD-40, and couple of brushes? Finish it up with some antiseize and run the nut all the way down the threads. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/KTM/IM...

Wow this forum has been busy today! Anyway, I thought I would try to clean up the orange rear fender the way i have cleaned white plastic before. That is with SOS pads and/or Comet and plastic scrub pad. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/KTM/IMG-20150816-01061_zpsb2f1vbo8.jpg http://i1...

Based on the afore mentioned video I would be interested in checking out Carbondale.

Perry; If you know someone that knows there way around Perry well, (like Stu) you/he can put together a ni..........................................................d probably go to C-dale because of the variety and the fact that Quads have not torn it up and it flows reasonable well. If you just wa...

I am really sorry to hear that!

Oh, yes there are rocks and natural gravel if you will. The upside to this is there is NO mud that I recall. It can be pouring rain and you can still ride. I can see where trials tires may be a big help in this terrain. Especially since you don't need the knobbies due to the absence of mud.

Perry is pretty technical riding. Chadwick is on my list as well. Let me know when you want to head back, never been there myself and am down for an overnight trip. Jamee, I couldn't help but reply based on these two comments. Different people have different ideas of what "technical" means to them,...

Good info! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks

That timing might work for me.

Dumb idea? but how about Chadwick. I have been itching to go back there for years as I have not had a Chadwick worthy bike for sometime. What is it, 4.5 hours. Talking hotel in Ozark? I always stayed at the Days in, pretty clean and reasonable. Just a thought. I have only been to Perry once and don...

It was just a suggestion, sorry!

I really like how much attention to detail your putting in here!

Thanks, I am a trainer at work and it feels like I am working on a training Powerpoint, but no audio.

Awesome, I like it!

Found I had somehow blown the 10 amp fuse when working on the signals. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/KTM/IMG-20150814-01052_zps4re1fnwj.jpg This broken connector may have made contact with the frame during my manipulations. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/KTM/IMG-20...
