Spoke with my wallet and bought the bike I have been waiting for, for quite a while. Pumped. I took it out and broke her in today, what a fun bike. Can’t wait to get it all set up and back into the swing of riding all the time again. Merry Christmas to me! ??

I really want to make a trip down to Mt View this year, we should try and set up a PNW Vital ride. I love that track.

I am super lucky, a good buddy of mine has a killer little sand track less than 15 minutes from my house. Place is rideable all year.

I always see their IG posts, and that place looks amazing! Every time I have planned to go, something gets in the way last minute (life, weather, etc)

Hope I can make it there in 2018

Did not notice, I also didn't look too hard though. As far as I knew, jmc was the only one as well.

helped develop Suzuki RMX and towards the end of I rode a KTM 300, best motor I've ridden. After quitting Suzuki, got to do a long term test of the KTM 300, rode it for 6 months and put 1 clutch, lots of tires on it, best motor/bike I'd ridden, still probably tough to beat....Congrats!!

Oh man that's beautiful. I was considering buying a TX 300 this year but I'm putting it on hold another year or 2 for the fuel injection. I can't wait, I've had the money set aside for a while now. It's been tough holding back!

Thanks guys, I had a lot of fun riding on Saturday in near freazing conditions. Can’t wait to ride it when the weather gets even just a little better. Btw, I have a JD jet kit coming for it and a SXS slideplate. Slowly but surely I will get her set up!

Brother....count me in! Please get a hold of me before you make a trip down this way. It's a blast to ride and I'd love to go shred some laps with you!
