DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

what kind of mileage are we looking at i have a xr650l with the stock peanut tank and jetted up lol maybe 100 miles on a tank :shrug: ...and no experience on dual sport rides ...i was just gonna bring a hammock and a cooler :screwy: u guys think a rookie could make it through jersey ...not a rookie...

If those are the official dates, I'll get it penciled in. It'd be a blast to get out there in the pine barrens for an official "unofficial ride". Especially if there will be sand noobs attending..

I called ECMS, I'm bringing it in after work. They said that they need to take a photo and send it to KTM NA. Then if it's covered, they just send me a new tank.. Fingers crossed :)

Hey guys.. I know there are a few KTM mechanics that hang out on the board. My 2006 950 SM started pissing fuel from around one of the brass threaded inserts yesterday. I met a guy that works at Ellicott city motorsports during the DAMN campout, I think his name was Greg. I was wondering if anyone h...
