Rode a 2 stroke to work today? Because this guy did.

Cannot get over how versatile this bike is. Rode it on the track Sunday, rode to work yesterday and today. Then riding an enduro this weekend...It is that good.

This is where the Beta with OI and the new EFI bikes are nice. Even though you dont need OI for EFI, its nice to be able to ride up to the pump, get some gas and go without having to carry a small bottle of oil.

BTW, what model is that? Does your state allow plated 2 strokes or do you have to get one some other way?

I have ridden my KTM 300 to work many times,not a long ride,about 15 minutes through the city.Not a great street bike but it will get me to work on Monday after a weekend in the mountains. One of my favorite bikes I've' owned over the years.

In the People’s Republic of California our supreme rulers (who always have our best interests in mind of course) have determined that two stroke dirt bikes are not legal on the road in any trim because they say so. So no, I didn’t, and I hate you for it.Silly

Where to? Other than Jack in the Box across the street, what else is close to the shop?

I pull the plug wire off if I am going to be away for the day, but 80% of the time it is straight in my view haha.

The only thing that would make Bobs story better is if he had a trail system from the house to work.

It is a 300XC, I added the lighting. PA does not really ask any questions. The bike has an MC title, so I just simply sent in for the registration.

I thought the 125 was a 4 stroke? The old 50cc Zumas are smokers.

I rode my old Harley to work...its an oil burner so that counts right? Nice bike btw

I actually have a perfect little trail to work. But, it is archery season at the moment...so I try to keep everyone happy...

I ride the road in the morning because it is quicker, take the trail loop home at night...

I’ve got a plated 300 as well and it’s a blast on everything but a long straightaway.
