First, I'm glad you're OK.

Second, consider taking a Basic Rider Course from your local MSF if you haven't already. At the very least, I'd do some threshhold breaking practice in a clean, dry parking lot after hours.

Third, I'm glad you're OK. Sorry you went down.

My 07 Bonnie Black dreams about being a sweet as that. Really nice job on her.

Got myself a dirt bike after a long-ass layoff of not having one.

'05 Honda CR 250 with too much fancy stuff to list. I need some barkbusters for her big time. For a 2smoke she lugs around pretty good. Too generous on the throttle and it will stand up, throw you and ride away alone.

Super freaking fun out in the vastness of Northern Nevada.

**gretch6364** · 09-04-2009, 04:14 PM

Nice new toy!

Any mags going to Thunder in the Rockies this weekend?

**jsw630** · 09-04-2009, 05:49 PM

Nice cr man. The 2 smokers are always super fun to rip around on compared to the 4 strokes. But both have their wins and losses compared to eachother.

**Eastside** · 09-04-2009, 06:01 PM

I grew up on teh old four 4ts and love them. The cost of ownership coupled with the rapidly disappearing market for run of the mill 2ts I figured I would go that route. The thing is like a scalpel- it goes where you point it.

I had a good line on a 05 Husky TE510 which would have been great. Since most of my riding is right out my door/singletrack and possible motocross I went the small, light route over a heavy thumper.

If anyone is looking for a Husky te510 I can let you know here it prolly still is.

Tex, that is a sweet looking bike.
Unfortunately A) I am way too strapped for cash, and B) I'm 5'5" so I think it would be a little too tall for my comfort.

The bike saves a lot of $ on gas and makes the commute a lot more fun:

I was really digging husky bukes for a long time, mainly for a supermoto which would have made the ride to work super super fun but i proboly would have lost my license in a short period of time! haha

I just unloaded my Suzuki 400Sm. I did not ride it much cause I mostly rode my Triumph. The SM was a fun as a motorcycle should be. When it gets to the point of trying to back the thing in turning onto my street I figure it is too much fun.

I am suprised the streets aren't riddled with SMs they really are a great tool for getting around town...fast, nimble, cheap to operate etc. I do see more and more these days though.

I could get back into the SM thing if someone gave me a Ducati Hypermotard.

Did a fun 55 mile loop today out in the funksville otherwise known as the west desert of Utah.

The day started out here, with Nik on the uber-rad Honda Trail 90.

She was going for the land speed record.

It was nice to finally have a place where the Trail 90 could stretch is legs and realize it's potential. Soon after this photo was taken, I think I heard a sonic boom.

We eventually left the salt and headed inland.

But not before cruising on some fun packed dirt for miles and miles, weaving in an out of the vegetation.

Eventually we got on the road, which was fun and smooth.

If you have an eye for it, the west desert can be a scenic place. Remote and isolated.

And there you have it.

Hypermotards are a sickkkk bike but really are too heavy to be a competative motard bike. The bike is an amazing bike tho. Im a huge fan of the new ducati streetfighter, those are some sickkk bikes. A superbike with less weight!

fyi - Mrs. Tex could flat foot this bike with the stock shocks on (she's 5'5" as well)
if the other part of the equation works out I'll find you a pair of stock shocks and swap them back

**Trackhead** · 09-15-2009, 09:20 AM

Doing a 4 day-800 mile ride in a few days, so........

Start with a pair of perfectly good Eider ski pants (besides the color)

Cut 'em in half.

Close the ends.

Pack sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad, down jacket via side zipper.

Zip up the hot dog.

Ride away, leaving a happy wife because you saved some expenses on a last minute "must have" for a ride.

**mtnbiker/boarder** · 09-15-2009, 10:05 AM

Trackhead...very smart and very easy to ride with it looks like......looking forward to trip picks......

**Buzzworthy** · 09-15-2009, 12:38 PM

Man, I got some old non $$$ pants I would have traded you in a second for them Eiders. Oh the humanity!!!

**g_man80** · 09-15-2009, 07:35 PM

Wasn't sure if this should go in the Photo/Video forum or here. Figured you guys would enjoy. Four days until the Big Sky XC.

I would like to take this time to tell everybody (nobody?) that I have just taken the first step to becoming a fellow MotorMag.

**g_man80** · 09-17-2009, 02:20 PM

Still working on some photos from the Powder Mountain race, but here is one to start. This little guy, Brandon Leith, racing the 85cc 11-12 year old, was crazy good. Easily doing the 100ft+ table top with style.
