Ha!.....we'll see once I do it.. Still getting the bike ready for inspection to get my title changed from off road to MC -I am in Ohio.2001kdx wrote:Dude Kurt Franz are you really planning on going 50 miles on the KDX?
My hat goes off to you bro
I checked out the Procycle site and it looks good with regards to parts. It appears that the wiring harness is the big money maker for these places. $159.00 for some wires, connectors, a fuse, and some tape and shrink wrap.

Dual Sport
I use a DR-650 for the road.
Whew, is that thing a pig in the woods.
Has full knobbies, though they are DOT- Dunlop 606s

And no, I don't actually ride them- yes, they are primarily just for show.

Garage
Yeah, I've got some issues.skipro3 wrote:A vase of flowers in the garage?!?!? R U Nuts??!? oh, I see urnuts!!
I vacuum and mop the garage 2 times/week. Ok, 3.
I did just build a slush enclosure for my Pathfinder to keep all the slop of the floor. Worked out well- 3 sided frame (2x4s) and then lined with 6 mil plastic.
Tires do no damage to the plastic and when all the slush melts off the car, it runs out the door.
Oh, this is a KDX forum, sorry!
The KDX was brand new there- the DR was DIRTY in that pic.
I'm pretty much a poser- just like to LOOK like I ride!

I have a 600 Honda XL....1983 version. Weighs 332 with gas, it does and I know what you mean.
Agree with the 'tight' woods comment.
It's great fun on a fireroad or anywhere I don't need to either kick-start it after a stall or dab with my feet to stay upright. Then, it doesn't feel heavy at all.
Besides...what do we do when things are gettin ugly? GAS IT!!! and HANG ON just like you know what you're doing!!

I thought about getting one of those lifeline pendants they advertise on TV for seniors- I can just push the button and say "I've fallen and can't get up"
