Hot damn.

 

Damn thats annoying! Might have to get a friend to "sell" something to in Missouri lol since then it would have a street legal title.

That one idk about haha

 

Even if it came from MO with a street legal tag ks wont honor it. So yes the only way would be have a resident in MO do it.

 

Got a sick little wera tool kit for $50 off woot.com the other week that came in tonight. Perfect little grab and go motorcycle kit. Swap out some of the smaller sockets but almost everything else is immediately useable.

 

thats odd i know friends who have done that to have street legal dirtbikes in kansas and they have had issues? maybe its the dmv you go to where they shut it down or somethin?

 

If I didn’t already have the Klx this would be cool. I just like the look and color.

Oof, no electric start?! You want to be kicking that haha

 

It wouldnt be that bad. But i wouldnt want to do it in tennis shoes for a ride day.

 

Lots of fun stuff.. and spending money!

I bought the ZRX with a box of brake parts and only 1 caliper on it (hooked up to a cheap generic master cylinder). Tried to remove the set of mirrors I was using off the KLX a few months ago and the aluminum extender snapped in the mirror threads, tried to drill it and tap it to no avail.
Found a like-new OE master cyl in the box of parts. 2 nicely rebuilt calipers later (first experience rebuilding calipers, not too bad at all), and a set of Galfer steel braided lines and holy smokes this thing STOPS! Plus, I have 2 mirrors again!

The 100 got a new chain and sprockets (replacing the original 51y/o bits)

and my brother put a delkevic muffler on his SV650 (great result)

Anyways, photo dump:

 

Well it is fuel injection so would it be that bad? IDK??

 

No not as bad. My yz450 seemed to start decent with FI.

 

Three days with no posts, y'all got the winter blues? I know I do, 4-6" of snow, depending on where you measure, and no bike for me for a week or two, whomp whomp.


BUT. I feel some of you will appreciate this. My wife starts talking tonight, I met one of my friends through her coworker who is his wife.

"hey, so *friends* birthday is coming up, *friends wife* wants to get him a course at some rally school, I don't remember the name, for him and she wants to see if you want to join"

me "uhhh you're not talking about dirtfish are you?"

"yeah that was it"

"yes. very, very interested."​

I've been vibrating with excitement ever since. Signed up for a half day class in may!

 

Yes.

 

Did some paintless dent removal for a small ding in the Harley tank. Got the quarter size ding down to almost nothing using a kit off Amazon that uses hot glue. Fitted the cam and measured end play and got the shim size needed. Placed the order for the shim.

 

Opposite over here; 80F and sunny every day. Haven't been able to get off the bike!

 

Cold here, teens for lows and 20s and 30s for highs. Bike is still put up for the winter. The roads are white with salt.

 

More like PMS.

Parked Motorcycle Syndrome.

I've managed a short ride here and there but nothing to get too excited about. Only about 300 total miles so far this year. Now that GLMC grand tour opened up I'm making use of the time plotting bonus locations so I'm ready to go on March 1 as long as the roads are clear. I have an opening day route that will get me enough points for finishers status on day one and less than one tank of fuel

 

Thats an impressive route! Makes me realize how sparsely populated my surrounding area is. Yay wheat fields...

 

It really just shows how many small towns exist in PA! My first stop will only be 1 mile from my house, stop two will be 6 miles from that and stop three about 4 miles past that. I also have way too many Harley Davidson dealerships near me. I have 3 on my route worth 2 points each.

Hoping to meet up with @FreshOldTaco during the tour and hit some spots together and grab lunch. Maybe get his second IBA cert ride in too.
