New Thumper

Look what followed me home. 2008 KTM 530 EXC-R w/250 miles on the dial. :ride:

I couldn't pass up on this one. I have been dreaming about this model for 3-4 years. :slobber:

[double moo]

Midway down the linked page... under the heading 'EXTERIOR' they refer to the bike as a Kawasaki EXC-R...:eek2: I guess I've never made the association!!

[accadacca]

Yeah, they muffed that up. :haha:

We need a southern utah trip. I'm thinking of going to coral pink sometime this month or maybe march. Presidents weekend? Who's in?

[Floatingcow]

Nice! I've had my eye on one of these for a while as well. Rode with a guy in Baja a couple months ago that loved his. I had my KLR loaded down so it was pretty inspiring to witness how light and fast he was. Congrats!

The 5th works perfectly for me! Who's onboard! We need to make this a big group.

Now you need some barely legal mirrors.

[accadacca]

Yeah. :lol8: Those are coming off when I head to Mesquite soon. I don't imagine they'll be on much.

[moab mark]

Where do you ride in Mesquite? We took our bikes down last year for President's weekend and were dissappointed.

Double Moo will have to chime in on that one. I think this will be 3rd ride down there. Last time we rode on the west side of the freeway through a series of really cool washes. There are some sand hills you can ride up as well. I had a good time and the weather certainly didn't suck. A few pics from last time. My Dad and Moo also explore dirt roads all over and prolly some mines.

Let me know when you guys head down and I'll come up with a couple of guys and ride with ya.

There is some really good riding in the mtn north-east of mesquite. There are a couple of really rough 4x4/4wheeler roads and trails that come up and over that mtn.

Trying too...weather. :roll: I might be riding out around knolls or delle next Staurday if the weather is decent. I know you have a few secret spots out there. If your around maybe you could show us... :ride:

[Garbanzo]

Depending on the weather, I may just be up for that. Hopefully, they won't see any more snow out there later this week. If not, it may be doable. It can be muddy, but you have to hit it in the morning, when the cold keeps it firm. Keep me posted.

[accadacca]

Will do. Still keeping an eye on the weather. Saturday looks okay, but mud may be an issue.

[Garbanzo]

I'm out for Saturday anyway. It's my daughter's birthday. Let me know if you try to go between now and St George in two weeks.
