    The mechanical toy list

    My list is getting rather long - anyone else have this much motorized crap, do I need to downsize?
    1995 Subaru Legacy AWD wagon
    1982 VW Vanagon westfalia camper
    1983 Honda Gold Wing GL1100 motorcycle
    1992 Arctic Cat El Tigre EXT sled
    1979 Ariens 8hp Snowblower(new engine)
    1967 Ariens 6hp snowblower
    the obligatory Poulan Weedeater lawnmower
    All I need is a boat and a four-wheeler now to round out the collection...

    You might cut down to just one snowblower, I guess.

    How about mixing in a bike? Good for the legs as well as the cardiovascular system.

    Well, if that's your theory, I guess you need another one of everything else too!

    which one did you get? IMO KTM is making the badest dirtbikes out right now. cost a little more but it comes stock with all kinds of trick parts. you need to hook up with the altagirls for some dirtbike action.

    I ordered the 450 SX Racing. It is basically a 250 chassis with a 450 cc motor. I rode the demo and it was FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!

    I have been riding a Honda CR500 for years and this thing is twice the bike.

    I will probably put myself in the hospital in a manner of days after getting it.

    Again. Bastard.

    Sick, sick bike dude. As was said earlier in this thread, 4 strokes are where it's at.

    Edit: I see you're in Utah, get a paddle for that sucker and head to Ideeho and St. Anthony.

    CS,

    I already have my paddle tire. Bike gets here in April and I will for sure be headed north to Idaho. Do you live there? Want to ride?

    It is indeed a sick, sick bike! I have never ridden a 4 stroke dirt bike, but this things is the BOMB!!! A 4 stroke 450 that only weighs 230 pounds is AMAZING!!
