I'm looking for a KTM RC390 as a track bike. Should be about perfect for Sandia Raceway.  Dolph

We could always convert a 450 dirt-bike to road use...   Evil Evil Evil  You're welcome?!?

Nevermind.  I just found out what a 'converted' dirt-bike 450cc racer costs.  You'd be better to buy an RC390 and built it up brand-new.

I'm busy enough building my own Triumph racer.....and Ducati racer.....and Kawasaki racer....and Harley Davidson racer.



However, if Stuart wants to build a KTM 450 racer I'll kick that one, too, after JJ is done with it.   Grin

Thank you.  It is on my wish list.  Wink Some major changes going on. ..will see if it works out.  waytogo

The Duc I have hasn't  seen outside world since last Telluride trip...shame. It also doesn't start now and feels like a dead battery on a new battery I replaced. Inje code error 6 I believe...will take the battery out and figure it next. It's HOT!

Just removed the chicken strips from Pam's Passat by taking it up the Crest.  Grin
The road looks great up to the ski resort with no red clay and very little gravel.
Any takers  Dolph

Now that the final offspring of the Missus & I has finished her K-12 edu-ma-cation, it leaves us with more time to ride.   Dolph

I will, however, have to do bucket-loads of maintenance and upgrades to the 748s prior to longer rides.  I haven't done the motor/chain/brakes maintenance & upgrades as of yet...  I also have to finish the new wiring harness & ecu installation on the Red Dog II.

The long & short of it is this:  I'll be riding more this summer.  There.  I said it.  You happy?
