I had so much fun on the Weestrom with you guys (didn't know such trails existed so close to home) that I figure it'd be more fun and I wouldn't get left behind with a more dirt-oriented sickle so it's my mission to plate my '01 426.  I never changed the back tire before.  That sucked a lot.  Jesus, two rim locks!  I need to cobble up a bracket for the license plate and am waiting for pressure switches and mirror from Doctor Enduro.

Those cheapo DOT tires sure make her look different.


I couldn't find a place I liked for the horn so I just pasted it on where it was easy.


I don't need Hi/Lo headlight but I needed a switch for the horn anyway and the OEM lamp 60/55W has both elements, so why not?


I'm currently trying to find out what NE does if you "lose" your MSO.  Without that damning evidence, I should be able to register it in NE.  Otherwise, I'll have to move temporarily to Colorado.

cool!  now all you need is a trailer so you can haul that up behind your wee.  as fun as a strom is on "dual sport" rides, the riding that is available in the hills lends itself better to the smaller, lighter bikes as you are figuring out. 

that bike will obviously be a blast in the hills.

Another kick-start convert!  We're taking over.... :evil

Sweet bike for sure.  It must be time to sponsor an enduro event with all the small bikes showing up lately.

X2. That is a sweet looking bike. After seeing how well you kept up on the strom.....were screwed.

The snow's flying so hold on to those fond memories until spring.

Looks great!    Hope we can see it in action next spring.

Looks good and I think I need a dirt bike now.

I hauled the thing along when I moved my daughter to Arkansas.  That's a valid plate on the ass end.



Now, if I could only get the pilot jet to stay clean for a while!
