Making Alberta Regs! Lights???

[takethebounce]

I have always been a fan of gherkins, much tastier than pickles.

I know my next bike won't be an MX bike. I hadn't had a bike in a long time and it was more an impulse buy.

Had a looked into the type of riding I would be doing I would have opted for a CRF-X or KTM XCF. Not only is it fitted for trail use it can still be ridden at the MX track.

pickles do rule!
LMFAO

you got something right there skipper

wtf is gherkins? is that a brand

by the way if i had to do it again i'd buy an XCF, same power as a SXF, a little heavier, power start and bigger fuel tank..... brembo brakes
creamin myself just thinking about it

yep my next bike will either be a CRF-X or a XCF..

i could have bought a 2006 CRF250X for around 3600, but i bought the crf230f because i liked the small size of it, and i figured it would be a great bike to learn on, and i can give it to my son when he gets big enough..

but totally gonna get a KTM for my next bike im sure

No way, store bought pickles suck, its all about home-made stuff.

I don't know if I would get a new Honda or not, I hear the clutches on the newest bikes last about 4 hours of heavy use. KTM 250XCW or 300XCW would be my "new" picks. Maybe even a GAS GAS or TM if I had endless money. Either way I would likely only go with a 2 stroke due to ease of maintenance (and cost), light weight, kick over super easy, and run cool compared to the 4 strokes (nobody likes boillin over).

4 stroke air cooled honda 230cc is what i got now... lol

"ease of maintenance" is an understatement

although 2 strokes are cheaper and easier to fix... it has alot more regular maintenance required...

i will stick with my 4 strokes..

but i will probably go with the 300 KTM i have heard nothing but fabulous reviews on those bikes

you mean 350!

i'm not really sold on the XCWs.... i dont like how its too road going, lights and everything else

 

[Marauder01]

just looked on KTMs website..

they have a 300 XC-W but its a 2 stroke... :S

i like 4 strokes... so i guess the 250 XCF-W 6 days is closest to what i want

they dont have the XC-F 350 or any XCF on their website for that matter for some reason... just need to go into the store... they have them there

*drool*

Thats strange they don't have the 350 SXF-W on the KTM site. I have seen it, I am pretty sure it will be my next bike, the SixDays 250 is pretty sweet looking too. I know CycleWorks has them all, or did have them all awhile back.

The XCW or XCF is deffinetly not a road bike, even the bigger ones just have head and tail lights. When we ride in BC everyone we ride with has a KTM, evening rides are awesome.

Any of the new 4-strokes are in the same weight class as any available two strokes. I think the 250 XCF-W is around 226 lbs, the 250 2-stroke is like 221 lbs? I think their MX bike is around 215lbs, but again thats a straight MX bike, so no 18" rear which is heavier, no skid plates, no cool orange frame!

There are only a few others making 250 2-strokes still as well, yammy and maybe one other?

I wouldn't say the maintenance on the bikes differ all the much, they both have their pros and cons. 4-strokes have a few more parts in the top end, but with proper valve tolerance and cam chain tension they are bomb proof.

You should pick up some gherkins man! When I was single and living on my own a bottle of gherkins, some crackers and beer were staple food in my place! :d

 

[Marauder01]

ultimately i guess i am just not a 2 stroke guy....

i like the consitency of a 4 stroke

What I have done is gone to canadian tire and got a mountain bike light they clamp on the hande bars and take a few double A batteries works slick doesnt even look that bad and if you go to the track they have a quick detach so the light slides off the mount.

For the rear I don't belive it needs to be a active brake light more so just a "running" light. and I rig up something like this

 

[TUCHODI]

awesome. looks good to me and thanks for posting this

I was in Brule on May Long and the SRD and RCMP were checking everyone for registration, insurance and a plate. That's all. i don't have spark arrestors or headlights and about 3 bikes down there had lights and nobody I seen was being harassed. Its when you make them mad that they get the ticket book out and check every little thin out. I even got a sticker from them and the Lady RCMP couldnt see my plate. I pointed it out to her 3 times and she still didn't see it till I touched and showed her. Treat them with respect and they will do the same in return. Remember its there job you don't want people coming to your job and being a complete dick to you. happy riding.
