Battling with some 400’s 500’s and a KTM

Had really fun race over the weekend out in Hasting Ne. Got to mix it up with a few Ninja 400’s a CBR 500, and a RC 390. I’m not a smooth on brake release as I’d like to be but still got a win in the...

Threw a pretty good chunk of change at old Nibbler over the winter but still could bring myself to drop $600+ on new fairings.

The shavings are from tapping hole to install the helicoil. If your only issue is finding this in your oil I’d say your good. Oil pans are really good at letting stuff fall to the bottom and not...

The MD250 does sound like the better bike. Every used MD250 I’ve can across has been about $1k more a new TDR300 though. I love little bikes but I hate all the compromises there are with our little...
