Dirt Rider Magazine

I also bought my oldest daughter an '09 KLX140L for Xmas.  It's gonna be a big jump for her from her DRZ70 but she's been riding the TTR125 on my mates farm so she should be alright.

 

Another pic.   I'm still getting used to the new PB and the new DR format, I haven't posted a pic for ages.

To be fair Maple, the board is what you make of it.  I do agree it's gone downhill badly but it will only improve if we improve it. 

I guess the mod campaign was an abject failure then...  LOL

Wow you're daughter's gonna be so happy!      Hopefully you haven't told her yet.

Sorry, but I'm a morning person and the only Sat night thread I've ever seen is on Sun morning.   Maple didn't you see all the posts in your favor?  It's not like they chose someone else over you, they didn't choose anyone. We like you just as you are btw.

I think most forums are not what they used to be because we have other options for communicating.   Also, life gets busy, people are dealing with personal issues, etc and posting on a forum gets put on the back burner.

The DR forums is kind of like a diner in a large town but a couple of new diners have opened up recently (FB and Twitter).  I was gone for quite a few months and when I came back it was almost like going into that diner for a cup of coffee, bumping into someone I hadn't seen for a while and just sitting at the counter catching up on what's been going on around town.   I think hella said it best in his recent post that it was "comforting" to see the regulars are still here.  I though that was a good way of putting it and hopefully we'll all stick around for a while even if we come and go. 

Gee, I don't know dag . . . sounds a little too much like His Majesty! :)

kiwi FTW! your one cool dude kiwi, i bet your daughter is gonna shit bricks when she sees that beast! This weekend, i picked up some extra work. The water is getting colder down to 56.F may not seem cold to some, but when your in the water for 5 to 6hrs at a time, it gets your core temp down. Anyways luckly i finnished up my work yesterday so I had today off. my Shim kit and my #130 main jet came into day and I installed it on my TW200 it got rid of its lean tendencies and made the bikes throttle response and its top end power way better! I am so happy, i got that recommendation of jettings specs off the TW200 trailway forum and I am very happy. Also adjusted the velves while I had the tank and seat off. The Bike does 55mph in 4th gear easy now. I still have another gear left and its geared 13/51 which is pretty high. I wanna switch it to 13/47 so i get some more top end speed and can ride comforatbly on the freeway.

I'm still here, works taking over currently (apprenticing as a HD mechanic) and can't find time or much of importance on here. the forum is almost back to what it was like when I first joined. Bikes getting no love right now as I'm still waiting on getting a crank

Cheers for the nice comments. 

Brad, it was really a toss up between the TTR125 and te KLX140 as they have lecky start.  Or I coulda cheaped out andd bought a DRZ125 or a CRF100.   The CRF never really got a look in sorry...    Although, in general terms I do like Hondas.

 

Good to hear your busy too Rocky, that's a good problem to have these days.

 

Honestly Maple, what the hell were you thinking with the mod campaign?  You were trying to find an answer for a question that was never asked.   Surely you never took the whole thing seriously, if so, you're the only one who did...   LOL

Well, when I need someone banned I'm calling Maple!   Of course he might be banning himself. 
I faded away because riding was put on hold until I got work straightened out.  I did do a few races and rides this year (all in the rain). 
I finished 9th at the 2 stroke World Championships, if you can call it that.
1st at the 12 hr endurance race, the other 2 teams quite.lol
And 2nd in some 5k races.
I have some new boots to break in and a new helmet so I will be around more.

What?  You did all that and didn't post any pics?

I bring "CONTENT" 2 the forum Nick.

Robertson's refusal to license his screws prevented their widespread
adoption in the United States, where the more widely licensed Phillips
head has gained acceptance. The restriction of licensing of Robertson's
internal-wrenching square may have sped the development of the internal-wrenching hexagon, although documentation of this is limited.

I dunno Brad - what was Robertson thinking?  Can you imagine the money he could have made getting a foothold in the US?

Forgive my ignorance, but what's this robertson screw?

my links r vitamin packed content full goodness.

Umm, I don't recall clicking on anything like that. 

Here's ur Robinson screw.

It's all off topic Alex - it's the Saturday night thread.  Now it's Saturday morning a week later so you're actually ahead of the game!  

I'm glad you're out riding - we had non-stop rain for the past 2 days.  I have to go out today and sweep/shovel the dirt runoff and mulch off my driveway now that the rain has finally stopped.

Nah - that little bike goes up on the stand around the end of November and doesn't come back down til around February/March!

Been gettin my cure for off season fever

That and sledding are actually a sick break from riding!! I could do this all year, im 15 minutes from a hill so id consider myself quite lucky in that case! 

Koby has thrown his toys out of the cot again DDH, no one knows when he will pick them up...

Lmao agreed

2 late. they r already sick of him.

Alex, every1 needs a riding buddy. even poser Chud.
