You may have already resolved the license problem, however one solution is to register/license the bike in North Dakota.

Pretty neat commercial from Taiwan. Small street bikes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2XXPGE0klmc

Sounds strange coming from a credit union. Thru a local Pipefitter/steamfitter credit union I've gotten car loans and I know they advertise loans for jet skis, 4 wheelers, snowmobiles and motorcycles. Almost sounds like they had something against dirt bikes??? I'd be interested in seeing some...

Just curious, are you an "A" rider? Senior hare scrambles? A no-race trail rider? How much weight w/ riding gear? How tall? We've all had bikes that weren't a good fit for one reason or another. Just trying to get a clearer picture than what I read in the magazines.

About a week ago I saw an old riding buddy of mine, he's 76, I'm 58. We started riding together about 1972, he helped me at my first enduro and he was a mentor/tutor to several riders in the area. He asked me to stop by his house to sign a book??? (This is the good part) He had the book...

Motopycho87 you seem to have found a very polarizing topic. I've used K&N filters in the past and never had any problems. The bikes I used them on were fairly diverse, '76 Can Am flat tracker, '80 Yam. TT 250, '84 Hon. XR 350, '78 Suz. 100 (daughter's bike). Some were run in very wet/muddy...

Just wondering about the weather, the Vikings/ Seahawks game has a predicted temp of 0* F. What's the coldest temperature you've ever went riding in? How cold before you say "forget it, I'm staying inside!"? I've been ice-racing/ riding when it was -20* F. That was '76 or '77, had to have a kid...

In Minnesota look on mndnr.gov/ohv. I counted 37 different trails, some are shorter (Snake River Trails- 13 mi. total) others like Martineau trails are pretty extensive. Some you may have to share w/ atvs and jeeps. A couple are old RR ground, pretty flat and too easy to go too fast. If you...

When you say the engine cut out, do you mean it acted like it was out of gas or did the engine (crank/ piston/ trans.) instantly stop rotating? If you were riding w/a slightly lean needle and main I doubt it would try to seize unless it was under a heavy load, like a long uphill. If you're...

Sorry about the delay; I couldn't get the magazine to lay flat enough for the scanner. These are all 2010 models, Ktm 300exc-109.5kg, KTM 250 exc f-109.5kg, Sherco 250sei f-110.5kg, Husaberg390fe- 121.5kg, GasGas 300ec-114.5kg, Beta 400rr-118.5kg, Sherco 300 F-111.5kg, Husky 310TE- 120kg, Husky...

Very Cold!!! Minneapolis/ St.Paul area, School closed over much of the entire state. -14F this morning, high temp today (1-7-14) 0 or -1. I can't believe I actually used to like this weather, couldn't wait for the "ice-riding" season. Many of "us" would get a small amount of frostbite on our...

You might want to verify the weight of the Rieju 250. I have a Spring 2010 copy of Enduro Extreme magazine(UK) that lists the Reiju 250 "wet weight" as 114kg. The same year GG EC250F is listed at 111.5kg. The magazine compared 23 different enduro machines, others weighed in as well...

I have a "hypothetical " question for anyone who rides a dirt bike and a 4 wheeler (or snowmobile). Do you feel you have better throttle control w/a conventional twist throttle or thumb throttle? Snowmobilers' use the inside palm between the thumb and forefinger. What's your opinion? I don't...

Check out "Danny Macaskill; The Ridge" on youtube. He's a bicycle trials rider that make most of us look like we're on pw 50's!

Perhaps this has been covered before. Has anyone used Trials boots instead of conventional MX boots? My old Alpinestars will need to be replaced soon, I would like to get something that provides more traction when pushing/ walking. I just don't want something with an aggressive lug sole that...
