6.28x18 - Still made. I thought about getting one for the 950 but the knobs are so big they depart from the carcass at high speed on the highway after time. Still may do it and keep them on my dirt rims. Buttoned the 640 up last night after installing new linkage bearing and valve check

Haven't got work much on the bikes but I've been riding them.

His hasn't reached maturity yet. Meet Shamu, aka, The Battlewagon

Finished up a go-over on the 950Adv. Fresh oil in the motor. New push rod and fluids in the clutch. Modified headlight-wind screen-dash unit to accommodate the now swelled from gasahol, 12 gallon gas tank. Was going to ride it to the car wash sans tanks to clean inches of crud from places...

I met your buddy Jonathan a few months ago and had planned to ride with him a little at this event but I was required to spend my money on chains and sprockets for my 950 I'll be taking on a trip shortly. I know what you mean when it's weird to see your old bike, I sold my Husky and my truck to...

As it should be! Glad to see you found you way over here Roger, mostly MXr's but more dirt oriented than Advrider.

I should have had new tires for 2 weeks ago when I met you, 3/8" rounded from the road knobs weren't bad in the dust, if it rains next week, I'll have to break down and replace them.

I rode down from NEO on the 640 Adventure, cold ride down but the trails were great. Want to do tomorrows event but too much going on. Is that you and your pooch in the picture? He/she reminds me of the Moto Dog. Tried to get a picture but kept walking too close to get it.

At 1st I thought I replied to a year old thread, maybe you should edit your 1st post to contain what's in your later post in case someone else ignores because of the date.

I plan to be there for Saturday

I believe that was true last year, I think this year, only the 6 series are. I'd have to ask the shop Monday to know for sure. What is sad is companies like Specialized who I don't think ever made any frames at home even though they are an American co. I was lead to believe my BMC was Swiss...

Clinches are so good now days, tubular are fading out but are still popular among the hard core. Sadly the majority of bicycles are now made in Taiwan even Trek and Cannondale. Try to get the best bang for the buck in components, wheels and warranty . I still race an 05 Cannondale 6/13...

I use Tufo Extreme rim tape when it can be found, probably like the 3M. btw, KTM doesn't use 11mm hex heads any more, 8, 10, 13mm heads, 4,6,8mm threads just like the Jap bikes. Had nothing but Honda's Ktm's, Can-Am's and Husky's since '79. They're all pretty much the same to me for...

Bummer, I have a campy equipped XL BMC SL01 in KTM orange and white I was thinking about selling. I sold my sew ups a few years back, my TT wheels are tubular and will need a new slathering of glue before the 1st race. Do any dual sports? I got burned out on racing years ago and I've been...

Talonrunner, what size? 1Foxracing, I'll be pedaling near your 'hood Saturday morning on a 100 miler from Massillon to Newcomerstown, up 36 to 416 past Mathias and home If any of you live around the Wayne County Area, the Orrville Cycling Club has a weekly Wednesday night ride with 4 separate...

The racers yes, the tourist, not as much. Mr Meister, I think I met you many moons ago through the Millers. You live back off State Street east of Greentown? I'd been on either a KTM300 or an XR400 back then. I also knew one who lived in Paris Ohio.

Thank you guys, My buddy Carrie bought a CRF150 and is looking forward to wearing it out. Team X, thanks for stopping by, hope to see you and the family at the track, hopefully your sister and Carrie can ride together some day. Thanks JoshmuthaF for the tip, she bought that bike, it's sitting...

I wasn't sure if you had seen the post where she'd be in the woods. She's a rare one, likes all forms of off-roading and has come to enjoy mx also which is cool. I'm just scared she's going to get hurt on the TTR pushing it past it's limits over a jump or something.

That's fine on the track, she's ridden my xcf, but not deep in the woods where she'll need to ride over roots, rocks, logs, dab, and start the bike on a hillside. Pretty big difference, we need a bike she can do everything on.

Thanks guys, I have you contact info, it'll be up to her. The biggest concern is the ability to start it in an awkward situation such as stuck on a root cover hillside being barely able to reach the ground. Also, the bike has to have a clean Ohio title so we can get it converted to a road...
