decided to take old blue out..

[jhendr3702]

have been having fits with my clutch on my 01 since the dyna ring install fiasco.. it has never really worked right since. stainlesscycle got me the info and got the clutch working better than it ever has.. put the scotts dampner off gg mans old 250 and has been setting on a stand for a month..
we had a newby going so i took the 01 300 out.. i had forgotten how much fun that bike is.. amazing how an 11 year bike is still very rideable.. i think it will last forever..

NIce! Still looks good for an older bike. I like the rear tire you're running I run the same on my bikes.

Nice '01. As soon as the new core exp and rekluse outer basket get here I'll be pulling the dynring out of my '03 ec250. In the mean time I've been riding the heck out of my new to me '05 DE300. I hardly ever have to use the clutch on this thing! I can't believe how well this bike climbs. And it hardly ever stalls. I really like both bikes and can't decide which one gets the Rekluse.

thanks guys.. i bought this bike in 08 from a guy who tried the gg biness from 01-03.. it was like brand new.. he still has a 2003 de250 that is brand new.
and yeah, for the most part it is pretty much unstallable..

michelin m12's on the tires.. works great here..

took the 01 out again.. a buddies ktm blew up about 8 miles from the truck.. i got nominated to ride the dead one back, pulled with a piece of bailing wire.. had to let a noob ride my 300 out .. then this happens. a picture of me on a ktm, tied to a honda with fence wire.. how embarassing..

Awesome! Although if I had to photographed riding a KTM I could only hope that it wasn't running!

yeah.. it was not much fun in sand whoops.. i crashed it twice in about 4 miles.. never put the gg down..
i walked around looking for something to tow it back. found that wire on a fence post. was walking back to the bikes.. park ranger pulls up.. thinks i am tearing down fences.. great day..

Hehehe! How very nice of you to ride the pumpkin out.. I don't know whats worse. Towing or being towed; they are both no fun. Sounds like old mate got the better deal there blowing his bike and getting a nice plush ride home! I hope he put on the beverages that evening!

[jhendr3702]

anytime guys.. he did get some "good" news.. it just blew up the clutch.

i think it may have been cheaper to do the motor tho..

i did find a ktm tow strap for my tool pack.. could not find a gas gas one..
