There is plenty of floor space in the house. And there is plenty of room in the yard and on the deck for tents, campers etc. I have a full bath and a half bath for guests. I have done this before and we had a blast.

We can tailor the ride to street tire biased with dirt roads and ORV or stick to mostly pavement (my favorite kind is rough and crumbly). Or we can start from Barton or Westernport on the route Grandville suggested. We could expand that route to be an all day ride easily. There is definitely more riding and exploring to do out here than can be done in one day, so we would not run out of routes to ride! :ride:

dpasseto has WARP 9's on his YZ250F and he has been very happy with them so far. The Contiforce SM tires are good tires too.

:lol2: I have seen that countless times in the last several years. In the forums, whenever someone comes in and posts something to the effect: "I don't get these ghey little bikes". Everyone knows it is only a matter of time before that poster has to have a "ghey little bike" himself. The best are the sportbike guys who swear they will never give up their sport bike. :ride: Yeah, right. :roost:

I would check with the guys on SMJ (supermotojunkie.com).. SM wheels ready to go come up for sale for the XRL periodically... Not that I have been looking or anything....

Great to see Dom is back in the saddle, literally & figuratively.

Next time you see him, tell him I said "Hi".

I'm amazed that he got his bike back together. I figured it was pretty toasty. It was a mess!

Hi Al,

First of all thanks to Mike, Jim & Almer(sp?) for a great ride. Awsome roads Mike! As usual I was heading up the rear of the group.

Actually aside from numerous electrical problems from the frontal damage the ktm was fairly easy to fix & still runs great!

That's good news. I hate chasing down electrical problems. I usually make more problems than I fix whilst trying to fix the original problem.

I didn't realize you were on DAMN.org.
