KTM has a really neat “cross” bike called the 250-R Freeride. It is a cross between an enduro and trials bike, if you remember the Bultaco Alpina it was the same concept. Great beginner dirt bike or playbike for everyone.

As you know, I’ve started riding trials again and have a long way to go just to get back to the level I was riding with Chad back in the 1980’s. Here is a YouTube link that shows what can be done with vintage trials bikes. If you let the next video run after this one you will see the current world trials level of competition. Enjoy
Planned to cut down on motorcycle numbers this summer. I need garage space this winter to do modifications and maintenance. But, I was weak. Just about all of my machines are 10+ years old with trade-in values of about 25 cents on the dollar. These motorcycles have aged well and offer different riding experiences. So, couldn’t bring myself to part ways with the ancient ones. Ended up renting a 10′ x 30′ storage unit for the next year, cost is $85/month. This unit will be the Miata’s new winter home. Hope this prevents me from making any rash decisions (probably wishful thinking). The 10′ x 30′ should be plenty of additional room – but it’s not as large as the picture suggests.
BMW has some good sale incentives on 2016 models. It looks like there’s a $1,500 credit on the 2016 F800R roadster. Has anybody ridden or even sat on this model? The reviews seem generally favorable and the color combinations look good. These motorcycle seem forgotten and ignored. Wonder if there’s cause.
