Ordered one of these.

Canceled order.

Maybe look into getting a different throttle tube cam? Then it isn't as touchy or intimidating when you twist it. I would think that would tame it down enough for you. Thanks, not giving up yet. Just found this lowering kit. May be worth trying. http://terra-x.com.au/ktm-suspension-lowering-kit/ Th...

Yep, Troy sure beat the hell out of that poor bike! :shock: Uh...just kidding around. The 450 looks immaculate!! Nice job. With all that torque and knobbie tires, it can be a little intimidating on the pavement, but when you get her in the dirt where she belongs it will feel at home. That bike is a...

Nice work, Carl! It's always nice to see a machine escape the neglectful hands of an unworthy owner to end up somewhere it really belongs. Thanks. But in all honesty, after riding it again today to CVS, by the Plaza and to 55th and Troost, I really don't think I have any business on this thing off ...

After my first trip North across Paseo Bridge to Antioch inspection station ( I know it's not Paseo anymore but do not know what else to call it), quietly waiting for "the inspection man" to show up for work. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/IMG-20150914-01381_zps1qvkx8yt.jpg http://i...

I almost joined you. Didn't quite have the bike ready.

Will have to check work schedule. Have been working a lot of weekends lately.

Thanks Larry for the ride. Had a great time. :D Nice meeting the wife too, she seems awfully nice. Butt was pretty tired by Olathe and it didn't get better till off the bike. Hit heavy traffic on the downtown loop but I guess that was expected. :o Living so close to work I usually have little need t...

That's right, Carl. If you ride with Birdman, you'll be hanging out with potheads like the one in this picture. (The pothead is on the right.) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CENhtGTWNb8/Vee5fFaezqI/AAAAAAAAHqE/ap2zmF4stNc/s640-Ic42/100_6351.JPG Oh good, I was wondering when the fun would start!...

Hmmm, I am afraid to ask but.........

Impressive! Thanks, means a lot to me. I am overdue on title. Will be penalized. I could have hauled but I just waited. I think the penalty in KS and MO is tiny, as in not enough to care about being late with registration. I think it's $25 a month with max at $200 but not positive. Guess I will fin...

It's ALIVE! http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/IMG-20150913-01358_zpsqo6pdspw.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m122/carlrf1/IMG-20150913-01359_zpsht9vps8m.jpg Put the OEM muffler on. The FMF muffler was too loud for me. The OEM I heavier but the sound is worth it. Had a little tr...

OK, operator or should I say rejuvenator error. In my haste or laziness I assumed I couldn't get the electrical connectors mixed up. :oops: But when tracing the wiring with a diagram I quickly had the signals and brake lights working as expected but motor still wouldn't start. A few steps later, inc...

Cool!

Perfect, let's do it!

Tuesday?

If anyone else wants to go and that day doesn't work I am flexable.

I have 9 days off starting this Saturday September 12th. I would like to spend some of that time on a motorcycle. I may ride alone some but .....? I could be open to any suggestions if someone(s) wants to get out in that time frame. I can do an hour or a couple days. Real off road not likely as the ...

Thanks but I think I countered it with something I messed up on the electrical.
