    Did this new KTM remove the kick starter?  That is a deal breaker.  I am looking for a new dual sport, which means manufactured as a dual sport that is newer than 2008 and has both electric and kick start.  Any ideas?

    Hey Pasta/everyone else... I'm eyeing June 24-26 on the Kern trails.  I've donated enough to earn a meal and night at Democrat Hot Springs and bought a shitload of raffle tickets, so thinking about attending in person.  Anyone else interested/available for some beer and singletrack that weekend?

    Cheah right!  You see how long he focused on that Beta machine?  I see Italian red in his future... after he wears the WR250 out on the TAT.  Great ride guys, hard to keep up with you LB and you did AWESOME on those street tires Pokey!  Great to see/cheers everyone.  Will happen again...

    Pokey, Look for the next trip. Hopefully mid June. Even bikeslut would be invited. 

    I'm in for the June trip fo'sho.  Pokey, you don't need bike luggage... we camp/ride from the truck.  Pasta will take you on "advanced intermediate" singletrack, so get those knobbies installed first for sure!

    I follow the two Beta forums pretty closely...

    My 2014 has always had a Ballistic battery in it... starts instantly every time for 3,200 miles now.  I'd try to ride the carb vs. FI versions and see which throttle sensitivity you prefer.  Although, the consensus is that the FI bikes are also ridiculously linear in power delivery, too.

    Great bikes.  We'll put it this way... When (if?) my Gas Gas ever dies, my garage will also have a new 2T Beta 300RR in it as well.

    FYI - Not sure why, but 6D helmets are on Amazon these days for $361 + tax... over half off. Several colors and sizes. Search for "6D ATR-1" and sort by price and you'll see em. I ordered one on Sunday, received today w Prime shipping and it's legit. Super nice product.

    Hey guys - Bad news; I'm a 'maybe' at this point because I may need to be in San Jose for work on Sunday evening the 6th. 7-8 seems to me like too many for one group anyway, so maybe you guys can split into two groups/trips. I'm hopeful one or two of you can take the lead and organize a trip (or two) in my absence. I'll circle back around once I find out about my work plans... sorry to flake.

    FYI - Jacob and I ripped to Mike's and back a couple weekends ago - 185 miles per day (few extra miles around Fire Tower closure), rode fairly hard/fast with normal gas/food breaks (plus 1 flat) and barely beat darkness both days. $70 PER PERSON, but showers were warm, supper/bfast was decent, included free coffee. I think Coyote Cal's and back would be about the same, if not a little longer.
