thanks guys. Pm if you get a second. Is there any one in squamish? If not i will just use the contacts you send me. 40 is a good price. It is not that bad, just a couple dings but i cant say if it is twisted. Procircuit workx pipe if that makes any diff. :beer:
WTF, Over?
Shayne is the same guy I use.
He was able to repair my Scalvini cone pipe and did a great job, so the works pipe should be a breeze.

The long awaited ktm freeride is coming.
^^^^^I predict it will be pretty popular in these parts.
WTF, Over?
Why the Freeride over an Enduro so hot right now model?
I really like the Gas Gas 6 Days models
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
The freeride is not for me. I cant see it being any better than an enduro bike and no way it can come close to being as nimble as a trials bike. Too pricey aswell. I dont know if it will sell well here. The dealers are taking deposits so arent confident enough to stock it, my guess only!

The reason it will be huge is that most riders are way over biked. They are not rocketing through the trails in 4th pinned, the freeride is lighter, lower and better traction like a trials bike. This means it is easier to ride and easier on the trails. The problem with a trials bike is that the suspension is the cause that it does not compete with an endure bike but also look at most guys forks on their enduro bikes and they are not even using their full travel. The freeride will be an amazing bike for new riders, old riders and riders in between, it basically is not an xc bike or a dh bike but an all mountain endure bike(to make a bike analogy) and those are pretty hot right now. The only reason they are taking deposits is that the bike is not arriving at dealers until late september/october when it is released. The Freeride is priced right at an xcw 200 ktm and will be offered as a 250 2 stroke only, the 350 four stroke will not be sold here due to cost, but hopefully it will in the future.
:woot:

If you are dying for the 350 they can be imported. But they are pricey. GP moto can hook you up.

Food for thought - My wifes 250x lowered 2 inches front and rear is way easier to ride than my yz250. The gearing is better for tight trails, it has lots of flywheel weight and the shorter travel is noticeably better in corners. I would say that for tight gnarly 1st gear trails 10" travel would be way better than 12". Also the seat is a huge improvement over trials bikes.
Bill is in first reading. Section on registration. Some one from Alberta may have some insight that it looks like we are getting closer to their system with plates on all legal dirt bikes. One thing for sure it is gonna all cost us some $$$$. I dont see ICBC contributing to trails like the platinum pass does.
WTF, Over?
But will you have to pay gst and pst on used bikes ?
If so Will older bikes be granfathered in
What's the story on kids bikes
On to another topic…
Just pickup a Dunlop AT81 rear and MX32 front tire. The look good and feel like a decently softish compound.
Anyone run these? Any feedback?
I tried the at81(gncc, not the dessert version) and I did not like it. It's good on loose soft dirt and mud but shat on hard surfaces….double shat when the hard surfaces are wet. I got it when they first came out in the spring cuz I'm a sucker for media hype on new tires, twice the sucker when it's dunlop….anyway tried for 2-4 rides then peeled it off cuz I had soo much hate for it. I just put it on again last week because my supply of rear mx51's went dry(not fronts cuz front mx51s suck sacks) and i confirmed the hate for the tire again.
Stoked to try the new Bridgestone battalion x30 x40's but if they suck too then it might be mx52's……as for right now and for the last 2-3 years the mx51 REAR is my fave tire,:heart:
I'm going to try it and see, but it was cheap enough!
we should hook up for another ride sometime! I'm improving…slightly!
