It all counts, If its got an engine. Surprised you'd stud up a cb350. A set of studded tires on the klx would be fun. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Klr650 Klx250 Cb750f And? What else? For me, trackbike would be a nice addition, but would mostly sit unused. I might just track the street triple, and maybe my wr250x on a short track/go-kart track. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

You and me both... 500 is a handful in single track, and a buzzy animal on the road. 350 exc-f is better. N+1 Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I don't often buy new. (Only had one brand new bike). I search for neglected or forgotten bikes, fix, ride, sell, repeat. Lost money on the brand new one. Sold it to GP Bikes during Covid. Did better than I expected. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I get it. I felt the same in my 20s. Now? If what I have is 80% of what I want, I'll mod it to make it suit me better, and keep it long term. Perhaps I should be more like Macdoc. List it and forget about the listing. If it sells for what I want, its gone. If not, I'm still enjoying it. My...

The precursor to the rsv mille/ rsv1000r Looks like a clean example. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

It should. Your situation was on my mind when I started this thread. You don't limit this to bikes. You do this with cars & utility trailers. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Nice. Seems you've found something that (currently) ticks all your boxes. Needs and wants change. Take @MacDoc for example. Older perhaps leads to smaller more manageable bikes. Or @Wingboy going to a Ural. I'm not a cruiser or touring bike guy. I've had big sportbikes, nakeds, dualsports...

Yeah. You had the fz07 for quite a while. Didn't you and your husband buy 2 tw200? From what I recall, that didn't last long. I had one of those for a second bike. I did 16,000km of street and some light trail riding on one. Bought it because it was "a good deal"! Sent from my SM-G960W using...

True. For me, its more so the thrill of the hunt. Fixing something I got for less than market value, and riding the wheels off it. I ride alot of friends bikes. Street and dirt. What I currently have is no slouch. A new bike won't make me any faster; but that doesn't stop me from wasting lots...

Sometimes I feel like I have a "searching for the next best thing", or a "good deal" disease... How many others have this issue. Why am I like this? I'm constantly browsing marketplace, or kijiji for bikes. I'm currently happy with my bikes, but always searching for the next best thing. I've...

Rode a childhood friends mini bike in a pit when we were 10. Always wanted bikes, but parents were against it. Bought a friends old 1985 yamaha fj600 for $1200 when I was 19. The bike had 13 owners by the time I got it. 24 years, and 17 bikes later. I enjoyed most of those 17 bikes. There...

I'm inserting mine on Tapatalk, one at a time. I've got a tire change to do on my wr250x, and pull the battery. Oil was changed weeks ago. It had a good clean-up. I'll still take it out around town, weather permitting. A small displacement dual sport really extends the riding season. I...

It might be parked... I got it last January. Only put 32 hours or so on it this summer. Slowly making improvements to my riding, and to the bike. Shinko 525 cheater gummy tires helped. Tubliss rear. Not keen on the Rekluse clutch, but Im getting used to it. Would prefer stock. Sent from my...

Missing Fortnine order came in (Purolator shipping issues). Graphics kit is on. New chain and sprockets is on. (2+ on the rear) Packed the wheel bearings. Cleaned as much as I could when the wheel was off. Shes looking fresh. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Clutch basket is damaged on the bottom as well... Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Graphics kit didn't come yet. Fortnine is using Purolator to ship during the CP strike. They split my order into 3... Apparently the purolator drivers don't know how to find my house... after multiple tries. Oh well, it looks good black. Not like I'm riding it anytime soon. Sent from my...

Man... spotless! New plastics are ordered, and a cheap graphics kit. I might take the exhaust off; a friend is going to help me heat it and pop the dents out under pressure. Head bearings got greased up a week ago. Linkage and swingarm bearings need to be cleaned and repacked. Sent from my...

Oil, stabilizer, batteries pulled in all but my wr250x and the husky300. Good chance a group of us are going to Virginia next week. Hatfield & McCoy's trails. Did the Creemore loop a week ago Saturday. Sloppy, cold, but fun. Dual sports really extend the riding season. Sent from my SM-G960W...

I'd say, just ride it. Skid plates are supposed to take a beating, and scratches add character. My 300 is held together with zip-ties. Pristine plastics tucked away in my closet, if and when it gets sold. Does a dirtbike ever really get winterized? Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk
