Doh! Sorry I forgot to reply, transitioning from my old job of 10 years to a new job next week and things have been hectic. The 200 is a red sticker bike, unfortunately. I also have a WR250R but that seems like it would give up too much of the fun factor. Guess I'll have to buy that Beta 390RR I've been dreaming about.

Is this for plated bikes only? Would a 200exc 2-stroke work well up there? Never been, but I've seen some pictures of BB that looked pretty gnarly.

I've used Smugmug for a long time now and will probably keep using it forever. It's $40/year, but worth it in my opinion. Excellent.

I've had a set of the cheap-o's from d2moto on the KLR for years. The IMS pegs are way better but the Chinese one's work fine for less than $15.

I've got a shortened kickstand for a lowered DR650 if anybody wants it.

I walked in there a couple weeks ago and picked up a Dunlop D606 130/17 for $89, which is right about what you find them for online. Guy was super cool, too. I'll definitely be going back.

I've got a heavier spring for a WR250R or X. I think this is around 20% stiffer than stock, so if you're a biggin or you carry lots of stuff this might be just right for you. Free to a good home. Also have a used DR650 supermoto style fender. A bit faded and some scratches but free-diddley-dee.

Sorry I don't have a spare, but if you're looking to purchase a cheap replacement, I'd recommend the "Ken Sean" mirrors off Amazon. Just DON'T order the Emgo mirrors because they are flat and you can barely see anything in them! The Ken Sean mirrors are slightly convex so you get a normal rear-view like you're used to. https://www.amazon.com/Ken-Sean-970510-Universal-Mirror/dp/B002302KK8/

Hey I recognize that bike! I had some great times on that thing and it never gave me a bit of trouble. Super reliable and a blast to ride. Who ever buys it will love it.

I'm thinking of selling my XR200. Fantastic bike to learn on. It's in great shape but runs a bit rough on the low end. I'm pretty sure it's a jetting issue because it starts great, idles great, and mid-range to top end is great otherwise. I don't have time to fiddle with it due to work and school, and with the supertrapp it's too noisy for me to troubleshoot in the alley. Previous owner bought it new and says he put very few hours on it, and I only rode it once. I bought it for $500 a few months ago and I'd sell it for the same.

I've got one of those FMF pipes, brand new, never been used, part #020302 (http://www.fmfracing.com/Products/MX/651). Not sure it'll fit out of the box but I bet you can make it work. $40?

I would suggest signing up as a novice so you can do the second loop. I'm sure you'd be fine. I've only done one enduro before and I did both loops (barely!). I watched a video of a previous year and it looks very similar to some Pine Valley beginner/intermediate trails, nothing real difficult. I'm pretty sure I'll be riding this event as well so maybe I'll see you there!

My suggestion would be a DR200/250/350. Light, easy and friendly bikes. Main problem is they're old gettin older. Another option is the KLR250/Super Sherpa.

Man I'm jealous. I've only seen them in pictures. Congrats Arnie!

I've got some soft saddle bags if anyone wants them. I've owned them for a couple years and never used them. They have integrated rain covers. I got them with a Triumph Speed Triple, so I know they fit that... Gone. Enjoy them Doug and have fun at the desert dash!
