[Mtnseeker1]

Anyone ever own one of these:lol8:


60137

[Mtnseeker1]

First bike I ever owned I paid for doing a paper route.
Bought it for $200 in 76 and there was not an XR that would touch it.:lol8:
1 down and 4 up was a new concept to the gang I rode with back then.
Mine was a stripped down version as was so popular back in them days with no lights and all speedo stripped off the bikes and it was the 100cc with the same motor as the Chapperal.
Same air cleaner as the Hodaka's. Big , Round and oily as all get out with springs like the 2-t exhausts.

60139

I lived in sandy Utah and my buddies and I would ride clear up to The White Pine trail Head long before anyone knew what White or Red pine lakes where and you could still take your bikes up the White Pine road back then.
I'm sure it was not a legal thing and just something we did as dumb ass kids.
It was the summer between six and seventh grade for me.

Oh baby the days of Castrol mixing oil and real gasoline with lead. Open face helmits and blue jeans and waffle stompers as riding boots with big red shoe strings.

And did not matter if you rode a Bultaco or not you just had to have a t-shirt that did while ridding.

Oh the days of iron on t-shirts graphics lmao.

I bet I broke and re-welded my seat brackets a hundred times and the spokes that I broke were endless. LMAO

Then a buddy got ahold of a 125 Honda Elsinor and our whole planet erupted.
We never dreamed a bike could go so fast LOL

A few years after that I was introduced to the OSSA 250 Phantom.
They leaked like a euro bike did but dang did they open some new doors. (worst dam exhaust pipe ever) It was always in need of some more welding.

Then about 1980 I picked up a Husky WR 390? maybe a CR? with the Chrome badge on the maroon tank and thought I'd died and gone to heaven.It was an older bike but dang.
This bike did nothing but wheel stood ever where it went. Thought it must be the fastest dirt bike in the world until my rich friend let me ride his brand new Suzuki RM 250 and I new I had to have one. Never happened but I did get ahold of a YZ250 with the new mono shock about a year or so after and that is when I had my very first desert race out at Ely ,NV. Going from a twin spring rear to a mono was simply amazing.
All of a sunden it was like don't worry about highsiding it but worry about pushing it to the point of low sides.





Isn't it funny how you remember your first bike- mine was a Taiwanese pos that kicked all my buddies asses on their new xr75s.
With them fancy knobby tires and all the bling.
I remember being so jealous of them pretty hard core looking Hondas and then we rode!

I can remember the look on my fathers face when I asked him if we could go and look at the bike with his pick up.
Shoot we did not even know what tie downs were and just used a spare tire to rest the bike on to get it home.
I had found it in the Deseret news paper and with in a month he bought himself a big heavy 175 orange CB Honda SL ? I think it was.
My dad could never figure out how to ride sand but one of his buddies helped me a ton to learn sand. He says you got to get her out of second gear boys if you want to learn sand. He was riding a Ossa 250 Phantom that I later bought and quickly sold.Way to scarry for me at 14.

Another big day at the Morocco Rally with sand storms making navigation difficult and yesterday's leader out with engine problems put KTM's Cyril Despres back in the overall lead with 17 minutes advantage. Kuba Przgonski (KTM) won the stage, Cyril 2nd. Looking good.

I know how you guys up north hate to slow down in the winter months.


Single track? How about no track?

[Mtnseeker1]

All right acca pay close attention to this one as I plan on dragging your pretty blue bike through this one.:lol8:
Winter is coming bro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bExj9_nXgHk



This is on the La Verkin single track only good if the weather is dry.
And it is not because of the simple river crossing.

Trust me you'll love this one Dude.

[Mtnseeker1]

It's not a long one but if you remember the day we headed down to Mesq. but we where thinking about the trails over by Coral Pink Sand dunes that nelsonccc told us about that morning we had breakfast over at IHOP. Anyways that is just a jump up the road after this single track maybe to finish a day???

Dude I have my XR up for sale right? And my buddy is letting me show case it at his shop.
Anyway this dude came by and is thinking of buying it for parts.
Seems he is running an XR in the Dakar this year.:crazycobasa:
I guess from what this tire kicker says is he's looking for a few parts bikes.

Hey you never know? Maybe some of my old bike might make it to the finish line of the Dakar.:roflol:

[Mtnseeker1]

I have know idea just how he thinks he can compete with bikes that are well know for 130 ish in the sand but hey if it gets him there and he can race I can care less what he does with it after the green is in my palm.:lol8:

Darn tire kickers anyway.

[Mtnseeker1]

K the Husa is cool but once upon a time I owned a wr 390 or maybe it was a cr anyways I love the pict of the old school Husky.
Had it for about one month and could never ride it hard. It never wanted to keep the front wheel down and I weighed 135 wet.:lol8:
And forget speed shifting that beast.
Scarred the bejesus out of me.
That was the last time I road dirt until about 85 and it was just a 350 XL enduro and never seen much dirt and within a year it got stolen.

Flash foward to 2010 I picked up an XR650R back to the dirt and inside a year I bought Fourty's YZ last Christmas.
They are both for sale at this time and I'm heading for a new or newer 450XC-W KTM.
May be out of commision for a month or two and yes it will kill me UNTILL .:stud:

If I could figure out how to come with another 3-4K I'd be ridding a Husa also but atlas it is what it is.

I'm running out of stocks and I just don't know if I dare.
Seems uncle sam thinks he's intitled to one third before capital gains.

I like to give him two thirds of something special if you get my drift.

[accadacca]

The KTM is a nice bike. Nothing wrong with that. The Husa's are for snobs. :lol8:

[Mtnseeker1]

No way they are for those that love to ride bad enough.:twisted:

I think it's time to drink the orange kool-aid for me.

[Mtnseeker1]

The thing is I love how this YZ stands on command to get you through the mud puddles and such. It's a race bike thing I guess.
I'm hoping I can get the best of both worlds with the 450 KTM. Good lugg and trail response but still have enough getty up for the all out throttle fun.
This YZ has this great thing going on when you get it right. Like coming out of a burm in third and on one wheel. Dang I love that stuff. I does not happen every time but when it does it is the greatest feeling in the world. Snappy!!!!!!:scared: BRRRRAAAAPehaw.

We won't count the times when it gets away from ya LOL.

[accadacca]

I think the xcw is a near perfect bike and will be the best of both worlds.

[Mtnseeker1]

I hope so and I hope to find out sooner than later:ride: Yee friggin Haw.
Besides I have to get out and find the good stuff now that the weather is cooling off.

I know it won't be long and I have to get you Northern boys on the good stuff this winter.

[Mtnseeker1]

I have found two great rides that I know you'll love weather pending. NARRLLY little buggers they are.

I just hope nobody is scarred of hieghts LMAO.

[Mtnseeker1]

On a technical scale of 1-10 they are about and 7-8 ish but on a mental state scale the first time they are maybe a 15:lol8:
The one has a few 5' jump offs with one that has a real fast 180degree turn right after and the rest is just heart pounding stuff.

They other one has some life threatening drops if you screw up but is easy to just roll through if you don't panic with some great speed sections and some interesting rock and sand climbs.
Both will test your breaks big time and there are areas I use for breaks because of this just to cool things down a little.

The man in his prime that started all this crazzyness.
On any Sunday.

If this is M.S .He still has s small shop in southern CALI. A bit greyer but still rides at like 78.

Oh and he sales all kind of bike including Huskies.:) But maybe not Bultacos.

Gotta love them drum breaks of yester year.

For anyone that can't appreciate drum breaks right after a creek crossing LMAO

[Mtnseeker1]

Yep he's still there in Riverside ,Cali.

[Mtnseeker1]

I owned a Husky about 1979 or 80 a 197o's something I think it was.
Leaked oil almost as bad as the Bultoco's but dang did she go like hell and wheelies was her game. WR 390 with the maroon and silver/mirror style badge tank.
owned it for a vey short time and It was way to much bike for me at about 135 lbs wet .
I believe this was after I had a yz 250 mono shock with the yellow and black fadeaway paint 76-79 ? bought it new and was on a work release from brighton High and had to sell her as flat work concrete fades big time in the winter months. YEp a 79

[Mtnseeker1]

Moto Madness is when you have one bike in the shop and the other in another shop on consignment and nothing left to ride with the weekend upon you.

MADNESS I SAY: So I think I'm just going to have to go take my old reliable Honda from said shop while his doors are closed for the weekend and sneak a ride in and wash in over the weekend.:lol8: And sneak it back again Tuesday Morn.
This stuff is an addiction you just can't say no to.
So just say MO.

Whose truck is the red one?

[Mtnseeker1]

Who's truck is the red one? Really? Say it aint so bro.:lol8: I'm not sure how to spell anything and this would include names But it starts with a c or an s Serile?
MR Cooper tires might not work.:)
But I know that truck and that's how I ran into him on a week day out at 5 mile before I had to cut it short and ride a planned ride with Scott at Eagle Mountain that same afternoon.
The pict with snow-
That was about a week or two before you came down and you brought all that cold wet and windy crap with ya. Last winter.:lol8:
That first day was a great ride about a week before the Rhino Rally and we got a shot at some of the hard core single with the drop offs right after I ate it and messed my ribbs up. Got a little wet at the end and I slid out about 50 yrds before we hit the trucks.
Your buddy Dan? I think his name was showed us them good trails.
I was one my red piggy that day and the next we got up into the snow by the look out tower and I was trying to dial in my clutch on the YZ that day.

Here's to looking forward to this winter.

Can,t wait to do er again.

PS I'm trying to throw an early spring ride together for Moab and I'm sure it will not be hard to twist some arms.
I'm guessing 5 or 6 from down south including AZ. for this one plus all my rowdy friends from up north.

Moto Maddnes:haha:
Went to take a look at a 08 KTM xc today with high hopes.
Figured if it was a good one I may just have enough left over for a tent trailer for my little pos truck.
First thing that caught my eye was shelf after shelf of moto dirt trophies.

This pos would not even idle after 3 min. with the choke on and I suspect it had never been taken care of. HAMMERED to the GRAVE comes to mind.:facepalm1:
The cam chain sounded as if it would come through the head or sleeve at any second. $3750 my arse.:lol8:

I told him I had drooped the price to sell on both my bikes and I just might have a buyer for the red one:roflol:

Maddness I say simply maddness.

The maddening part is every SOB thinks their ride is golden and then you show up to check them out and everyone seems to be clueless to true value. (well it used to idle ok)
OR I have only rode it three times in the last three years( the last race-yes race was back in Feb. Rhino Rally and he's trying his best to get the mud off today only cause I gave him a call and he knows dam well I'm on my way.WTF PEOPLE???????????

Seems a big part of moto madness is more patience than I have.:lol8:

Maybe it's just me and maybe I should ask the golden price myself but my hell what is up with these crazy basturds?

[Mtnseeker1]

Screw it all at this rate maybe I'll give Scott a bid on his old BMW!

I'm tried of these igjets.

[Mtnseeker1]

I know I would not need a fuel pump for some time.
What's up with these crack heads that think a bike that will not idle is worth more than mine that is ripe and ready and will smoke them from start to ?

Forgive me please, I know not all KTM riders are the same but down here I just can't figure out the hole mess. From the mess holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UN freakin believeable

I know breath in and breath out LMAO.

Moto MAdness is when you just need a fix and can't get to your moto.

That shit will drive you crazy after talking to fools trying to get more than top dollar for the hunk of stuff the deem as a small fortune.

When buying used whatever the seller has to say is of no use. You have to make your own decision. When I hear bought it for my wife ........... I start to laugh.

[moab mark]

The other thing that cracks me up is when the ad states original owner never been raced and it has race #'s on every plate.:crazy:

[Garbanzo]

I looked at an 08Rmz450 that only had 5 hrs on it. The problem was, the chain had at least 50 hrs on it! Hell, I beat the piss out of my Wr450 and the guy who bought it got a steal. That's because I re worked everything. Some of us have to sleep at night. :confused:

@ moabmark -Ya and they're the race specific square stickers with a color back ground. for us one timers.:lol8:

I know for a fact my YZ has been raced once- a works race.
SOmething I really would love to try again. I had a blast.


After that I can only guess right fourtycal?:)

I paid $350 to get it to the doctor and all she needed was one valve shim and she has a clean bill of health and runs clean and very crisp.

Everything in the top end looks good and clean - Within factory specs.
Funny how money sometimes can make you sleep better at night.

That YZ has a new 16 year old owner with a grin bigger than the grand canyon.
He is returning back to the track and I wish him the very best of luck with some advise: Ride it for at least one month before putting in the stock fly wheel on and tank and sprockets.

I've been busy selling off old projects and old rides because of this madness we call living.
I think I found the right bike for me and will head up to the great white north of Utah to snatch it up.:lol8:
I wanted to try to get it done monday but forgot all about the banks being closed MON/Veterans Day (thank you all that have and are serving to keep our freedoms).
I may not have access to the net but if acca is around Tuesday afternoon I'm sure he can get a pict or two up for me if I have a chance to show it off to him then.

Needless to say I'm super stoked and ready to ride with some basic upgrades to get things set right.

This is strictly downhill because of the 15'-40' cliffs that you huck off while carrying downhill speed. You could hike it if you brought rappell gear with you. This is the most extreme trail in Utah right next to the redbull rampage area in Virgin.

And tomorrow they are callling for rain not snow.:)
Look for me at the car wash by about 4:00Pq
Then with any luck and a fair amount of rain Sat. I'll be on the La Verkin single track. (A.K.A. HIGHWAY TO HELL).

You know when I first looked at that snowy Husaberg
62018
I thought to myself "Looks like acca got out today" then it dawned on me there is no way in hell he'd pull that into his garage like that.
Then I noticed the white fenders.:lol8: And maybe the seat.

Maddness I say nothing but MOTO Madness

Myself I'd love to just get through the first 47 miles
The nest 48 miles of Whoops would be more than I can muster.

I'm not just saying come down I'm saying come down and race BABY.

I talked to a gentleman this morn that is in the business of tour guide for basically noobs to pros. but has the skills to provide a safe and tires on tracks before he sells it. single tracks in NV. Or what ever your big bike heart desires. But big bikes can be figured out by yourself the way I see it.
He knows his shit and works with GIS and he did not say but I'm sure it is GIS Kev.From ADV.Rider.com.
He basically told me that for about 4-5k $$$$$ he would put boot to ground for a all single track in NV. coming from ID. to ST. George,UT.

So I'm wondering if I can get enough fools to tagg along and split the costs?

In other words if I can get 10 crazies to do single tracks from basically bendover to Mequite is it worth 400-500 smacks to you?
THe more the merryier but with more probs. for less cost. Comprende?
The route will be 100% go but it would be up to the riders at that point.
This is a legit business with insurance and we would get both maps and GPS cords As well as the best times and last minute flash flood isues.

How many days? I have only a guess at this point but 2 weeks plus for problems and weather is the best I can come up with for now?

THis ties into the Utah backcountry discovery route and a small chunk of ID for a loop over 2000k miles.
