The ice cream is where its at. The Baiders lose money on every ice cream sale but they continue to do it. Good people that track has come a long way.

You gotta go to sandusky for anything worth while and I don't recall anything special.

I use a crossbreed to carry my H+K p2000 off duty. It is awesome. I forget about the gun being there a lot. I have the regular leather and it didn't mention any oil.

No details other than he said it quit, but would turn over. Not too sure about the year, but he was insistent that it was the 7.3. Or at least, he said it was the "good" one. I know shite about diesels, but a wiki search says they were phased out in 2003.5? Would that apply to the fleet style, stake bed duels?
He's north, Mans-burg area.
Oh, and he said he got it pretty low on fuel.
Could he need to bleed the injectors? I've had to do this on old diesels but I don't know if the new ones need it after running outta fuel.

That's some wrong turn 2 shit.

I was waiting on this, can't believe it took that long
And that's ^^^^^ what she said.

I was expecting a lot better with the thread title. Like something that vibrated.

It came factory with signals and lights and speedometer. Out here all it needed was to be registered and tagged as street legal.

I would like to ride 555 this year or atleast in the area. Heard there is a lot of good roads in the area. It's a haul just to get there though..
Well worth the trip.

No such place as JONESTOWN' date=' AZ, best I can tell, so I'm going with fake.[/quote']
It's an old mining town / ghost town maybe has 2 residences in it. Definitely no diner though so yeah its a fake. But only Arizona would have someone that weird. I swear the desert attracts the crazies.

If this sells I also have one for anyone that misses this sale.

So I went for a ride today. Out on the highway when it started getting wobbley I sat further back and it fixed that. Then I got off onto a mountain road made of dirt and rocks and it handled pretty good. When I hit the washboard I gave it more gas and it did well. When I got home I started running laps around the yard. (i live in the desert so its pretty much dirt.) After a couple laps I decided it was too bumpy since it had been disc'd and rutted up by a tractor prior to me moving in. So I decided to run the truck around a few laps to pack it down and smooth it out so I can practice my turns on dirt. All that did was break it up and turn it into about 6 inches of loose dirt that is impossible for me to control the bike in. Now I've got to get ahold of a drag and/or a roller to fix it.

This appears to be the KLX400 that was the rebadged Suzuki DRZ400 during the brief Kawasaki-Suzuki "alliance" that never amounted to anything. Are you referring to it as a 450 because it was bored out or something? Or am I totally misunderstanding what bike you're talking about because my eyesight is so bad and your photos are so small?
It's a 2008 klx450 not bored or anything. Here's an old article on it.

Thanks guys. This bike is pretty quick for the street and scary fast in the dirt! I love it.

Just race on the street. If you do it enough you can even race the police. The only problem is legally its frowned upon and the trophies suck.

I finally picked up my klx 450 today and rode it home. It's geared pretty tall to run highway speeds but still has really good acceleration. On the highway it started to get unstable / wobbly at about 75 mph. It turned good although I didn't push it because I'm new to being on a dirt bike and learning as I go. I took it on a primitive mountain road on the way home through the Coronada national forest near tombstone AZ. It was fun and scary there's no guard rails and very steep drop offs. I saw 2 horses and a couple cows on the road. Then I got back on the pavement the rest of the way home. I only got a few pics I'll upload later. O was going to get some from on the mountain but it was too narrow. It's awesome to have a bike to ride on or off road.

I just bought an 08 klx 450. It's street legal and geared more for road use. The suspensions been rebuilt and tuned for a 200 lb rider by zr1 suspension. ( I'm the same size as the previous owner). It has the on road off road tires. I think that's all that's relevant to its set up. I have very little dirt bike experience so I'm learning as I go. I've read that turning a dirt bike is different than a street bike but I wanna make sure I'm doing it right. To turn I've read you weight the outside peg and lean the bike in. What exactly does that mean? What I've gathered is you press with the out side foot and have very little of your weight on the outside of the seat no weight on the inside peg and counter steer lightly with more of a upward pulling motion on the outside handle bar. Is that right? Also when I was on a gravel / dirt road and got up to speed the bike started to wobble especially on the washboarded sections of road. It felt like it was fishtailing kind of like a snake moves. I just eased off the throttle until it went away. But I was wondering if this could be a result of poor riding position?

I've had the scala rider q2 works great. Basically if you can see the other person you can talk. So the range is better on flat open ground. In the hills they work great too but your not going to get the half mile range like in the open. I've made phone calls with it at 85mph no problem. I've always only used a full face helmet so I don't know how well the work otherwise. I've used them on my old cbr 1000 with an hotbodies loud ass exhaust into triple digit speeds no problem. The only thing is if you talk to yourself or sing while riding you might activate it and your buddy will know your crazy or singing brittany spears. They are great so your not using the retarded hand signs while riding to comunicate.

You should set up a camera and find out what how most people treat it.

This thread is worthless without pics! Lol.

Sounds normal for a taller tire to me. You'll probably wear the center out a little faster but not much.
-
What did it originally have on it? Does it pull one way? A wider tire on a more narrow rim will be taller/steeper and fall into a turn faster.

I thought the same thing ^^^^ but figured he would catch it by now unless someone else is selling it for him. Kinda like the drug king pins do. You know he's Mexican which is almost Italian mob level nowadays.
