What with Ca green/red sticker BS and all of the land closures to ohrv's by the
greens, one would think the manufacturers would get wise and make a decent dual
sport that is race ready off the show room floor. KTM is awfully close, but
with Germany's stance against us in the Middle East, I just cant support this
company! That's as un-American as our lack of ability to compete with the
Japanese in building decent offroad motorcycles (although Cannondale gave it a
valient and commendable effort, far greater than Harley-Davidson ever will). I
think we can all bypass all of this red/green sticker bullcrap by riding street
legal bikes, and is sure to be the way of the future for our sport.

Uhhhh.........KTMs are Austrian.
And no, that is not the same thing.
But just the same, try finding a better performing, quiter, cleaner, plateable
machine than a KTM thumper.

What clue told you this guy is an Aussie??

 >Mother England? WTF is that? I have never even been in boring backward
 >England.

What my original post was saying was that most of the new dirt bikes coming
from Japan barely qualify for the "red" sticker in CALIFORNIA...meaning while
the purchasers of these bikes are scratching their helmetless heads, wondering
where to go riding this summer, I'll be laughing and riding my ass off!!!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
