DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

I joked w/ him as he was riding it 'you know I have one of those for sale'. He said it was the best advertisement / ploy ever :) Technically he didn't buy THAT exact bike (which is the one I've ridden at your place a ton) but he bought the other one I have w/ all the suspension mods.
He's also the ...

Dan, Alex, Greg, and I rode at the Cove a few weeks back when our trip to NC was cancelled due to the hurricane. Dan just posted his video. I think we broke Greg in the rocks by lunchtime.

More pics and details than we've had before. Water cooled motor. You can spy the TINY radiators now. All the plumbing is behind covers.

Another viable (?) contender has entered the chat.

KTM has announced the completely reworked 2025 Freeride E. Only 18.5 kW (24.8 HP) peak power, but 37 Nm (27.3 ft-lb) torque, so not bad. Same torque, 5/8th the HP as a Beta 300RR. Hot swappable batteries. Claim a battery will last 2-3h on the ...
