Nice pics. Thanks for posting them. I liked your Jeep, but I can't help but wonder why you painted it to match your fire hydrant? Or maybe you painted your fire hydrant to match your Jeep...?

The salesman at I-10 Motorsports said that the 2011 DRZ400's would have an aluminum frame and EFI (like on the new 450 dirt bike). Can anyone else verify this? I've searched the internet and haven't found any clue of the salesman's source. I'm looking to buy a new dual sport--Probably a DRZ 400 or some flavor of used KTM. I don't want to pull the trigger and find that I just purchased yesterday's technology. Any idea when the new models are officially announced? Thanks, Rusty

We beat these people in a war!? I'm gonna go hug my grandpa.

If I don't even own a bike yet, does that make me 'prenatal'? I'm moving from San Francisco to Indio in June. I'm saving my pennies so I can get a proper bike to explore the area. My last bike was a DR650. I know I risk the ire of the DR faithful, but I didn't like the bike--it actually made me miss my old Honda Trail 110. Yes, the Trail 110 is ugly as hell, but it was a veritable mule (back when I weighed less than 130). I'll be seeking help to help me select a proper bike...but that's for another post. I hope to ride with you all soon. Rusty
