That thing is just too purdy. Let's go and mess it up on the weekend.

Haven't figured out whether it's going to be Saturday or Sunday but I'll be riding one of them.

We can carpool if you want. There are a number of people headed to the enduro in Nagadoches so it could be a small group.

You have a preference to day?

I had a KDX 175 back in the day. What a great bike! Congratulations.

LS650 gone -- Red and Black 2006 Kawi Vulcan 900ls in the driveway. What a difference in bikes!
OH YEA! :sun: :rider:
Tomorrow is a ride around and around and around day.
Better use sunscreen I guess. Took long way home from dealer (we're so small you have to do that to get miles.). It had 0.2mi on it and now has 20.8. What a difference. And I can see some longer rides on this.
Best prices in Texas at Kawi Irving. But local guy would not let me do that and gave me a trade-in worth the difference. They can't keep these on the floor!
And tomorrow will bring photo-ops. :sun: :sun:
Now to read the manual.
Now I know why you got a better and bigger bike. This isn't a Wing but sure drives nicely.
Cheers ya'll.

You know the rule about pictures here. It didn't happen unless you provide photographic proof. :mrgreen:

Well... I can't do it Saturday, and I'm planning on a sport bike ride starting about noon on Sunday. Gonna try and make it out to Boondoxxxx tomorrow for a little while though :-P

Forgive my ignorance. Looking at the photos, are chains normally that loose on dirt bikes?

Yup, dirt bikes have a lot of suspension travel.

Albie,
Do any of your "true" dirt machimes have a 19 inch back tire? My parts guy in Smackover, Arkansas has some dunlop 756's for $50 a piece. He is needing to get rid of them. Let me know if you are interested and I will give you his info.

Well, we broke it in today. Didn't break anything on the bike or on Mike so it was a good day.
