Like a kid with a new toy, I had to ride it this morning. It was outside all night, so at 26 degrees, covered in frost, it started right up. So nice. :)

I agree. I only mention it because the other 300 I looked at was cold blooded and my wr starts every time...but sometimes it takes longer than others. Lol

I got a chance to ride it today and get it muddy. And I met the locals who are probably the ones who maintain the mx track on questionable land.

Fun stuff; much lighter and easier to ride than the yamaha. I might want to drop a tooth on the front for single track, but I'll see how it goes at rac. On a related note, I sent my permit app for rac today! :roost:

Since it came up yesterday, the bike weighs 255.2 pounds using the "bathroom scale and a 2x4" weighing method when it's less than half a tank of gas.
