2009 KTM 300XC & New Parts $6847.12 - Pics

I'm parting ways with my recently acquired 300XC. Circumstances have me in non-riding form for at least this year and the little unit is just sitting there getting older. Somebody should be out roosting on it. I purchased the bike new, out of the showroom, last summer in Edson. I got 3 rides, and a ...

Re: Katana GSX1100F

Oops! Steve-O had to take out a couple inappropriately placed links I stuck in my last blurb. Sorry Steve-O....and crew. :blush: I did read the rules some time ago, but obviously forgot that part in the excitement of posting (damn rookies). Will refrain in future. In lieu of the actual links, if you...

Re: Katana GSX1100F

This road burner is available, but is now sitting on consignment at Recycle Motorcycles in Stoney Plain. They believe it's worth more than I did. Who knew? FYI: I had never heard of this place until a few weeks ago. These guys sell an interesting array of older bikes including dirt bikes in addition...

Katana GSX1100F

Any of you big city types need a decent, affordable, street bike to commute or root around the outskirts on? If so, you may be interested in this pretty sano, '88, big Kat. Don't get spooked by the year, it's actually in really good condition for it age (one of the reasons I bought it). About 47,600...

Re: Well, what d'ya know....Lyme

Thanks for doing the ongoing work to keep it clean....dirtyboy :thumbsup: I have been around on other forums that can get to be a mess and this one always stays great by comparison. No issues here keeping a family tone and I apologize if my previous post, where I attempted a tongue-in-cheek poke at ...

Re: Well, what d'ya know....Lyme

It having been a while since I posted here, I re-read my post to see how many typos I made and I am quite entertained by the word police replacements for a couple of my adjectives. So, the devil lives in a place called.....the place that is hotter than Las Vegas? Not that other fiery hot place held ...

Well, what d'ya know....Lyme

Hi Bunch! Look who showed up to the party. Yeah, again. I just re-upped my RMDRA dues after a period of unintended delinquency, so you might start to hear a little of my goading again as I get you all primed up to roost the hell out of me the first time you do see me out on a bike. Been a while sinc...

Re: The use of knee braces and injury prevention

I think I sent a prompt on this forum back in 2009 when I snapped my right knee.....to get your braces and use them as standard riding gear just like your helmet or any other part of the necessary armour. Even though I had done all kinds of riding, competition and play for years and had lived throug...

Re: Tubliss Rears are in finally woot!!

I had them on order, couldnt stand waiting for them any longer and gave up. They had the same problem last year. I dont get it. Similar experience. Randy, up here at RPM Powersports in Whitecourt was able to get one for me right away when I ordered a set last fall (front 21"). We have been waiting ...

Like Mom Says....

Hey Folks! Thought I'd chime in as it's been a while and I have some motherly advice for everyone who rides. I saw IceMan's post regarding How Not To Practice and it jogged me to share some very recent experience that may help someone have a better year than I am having. The gist of it is: Wear all ...

Re: Sharples HS

Hey thirtyseven guy! Just strayed through this thread and I am still laugh'n, more or less uncontrollably, over your depiction of what goes on out there. I especially liked "get your bike off me"! That killed me. I do note the lack of a "please" in that expression of joy though. Dang...I still can't...

Re: Sharples HS

Sounds like regular springtime riding (i.e. fun and slick)! I will be there if the race runs and also expect to be set up for camping by then as well so will be staying at least one night down there. Will be spending as much time as I can, between now and then, getting my little scooter ready and ge...

Re: To Good To Be True...But, I'm Here!

Thanks SG! It was pretty slack being knocked out by such a silly miscue. Battered out of a race or two by a massive 5th gear endo over some rock hard snowbank and leaving a body imprint in the side of some guy's pick-up truck would sure make a better race story. Not my style apparently. Nope. Just w...
