Congrats...great bikes, my favorite KTM ever. Ditch those wimpy tires and get some knobs on that beast. It's a blast offroad.

Yeah I'll probably go with the 606's.  Anybody have any other suggestions for 70/30 dirt-street?

Good choice. I ran the 606 front and Trakmaster II on my 620 a lot, it was a great all around combo.

To me 63s hooks up better off camber, but a DS tire isn't ever going to be a dirt tire.  So YMMV.

I tried the T63's but they burned out really really fast, dunno if it was just me or not but I was disappointed in the life for the $$. They were great, fresh tho.

Went dual sporting today with a couple buddies. Mostly blasting around the gravel roads out in Haymarket and Loudon, VA. Didn't take any pics but had a blast. I want to get one of my own. Currently I borrow my dad's WR250F that's plated.

Honda #12
Marty Smith??


Um..no. He was one of my heros back then tho..if that counts. Just me back in the day. I was sponsored by a local Honda shop at the time.

After that, I was sponsored by a Yamaha shop. #12 again. Yamaha of Carollton jersey. Pro class (money class) where any size bike was legal. I'm on a 78 YZ125 in a sea of 250s. Won that class many times back then, as a good 125 was still fast enough.


Another on the YZ125. An AMA 250 National at Burnt hickory in Ga. 125 Support class. Got the wholeshot and led for awhile, but got tired (was outta shape at the time. I blame womenz) faded back to 7th. Several factory riders in the class. Kippy Pierce won it.

Went riding the day after Christmas, and the Husky tried to kill me.

I flubbed a relatively easy hill climb (bike stalled). I slid @ 5 feet backward before the bike dumped me to the low side. I landed with my lower back on a downed tree, and the bike landed on me....hurt like hell! My buddy heard me yelling and came back to get the bike off me. Luckily, there were some SXS's that passed by not long after, or it would have been a lot harder to get me out of the woods.

Wound up at the ER...results were bruising and torn muscles, and a couple of extruded discs. Been occupying the couch since while downing a cocktail of pain meds and muscle relaxers...still can't bend or twist, or even put my own shoes on. I've got an appointment with an orthopaedist next week for an MRI on the discs.

A few still pics from my buddy's helmet cam...

kwb377,

Damn, I just saw your accident post

I got the feels for you man

I cracked the transverse process in my L2 and L3 after coming off a horse in September '15

The muscle tears and peripheral nerve issues  are what I am still dealing with a bit on and off

That fall kept me off of bikes for a solid year

Hope you mend well and get back to it soon

Thanks for the good vibes.

Ortho found I have stress fractures on my L5...basically the body and the spiny part aren't connected anymore. Only thing holding the vert in place is the discs, and the body is out of line (pushed forward)...probably what's been causing my random nerve pain for the last few years (feels like split-second electrical shocks travelling down my hip). He's not sure how long it's been like that...but says surgery will do me more harm than just living my life normally. Slowly progressing otherwise.

Looks like I'm done with gnarly single-track stuff.

*Edit to add...

The spinal fracture is called Spondylolisthesis. Got 3 weeks of physical therapy before I head back to work.

A photo dump of some of the past year of riding for the little guy. He made the switch from a KTM mini to a Cobra Sr and Cobra Jr. He won the over all for the Fair series in the Jr. Class. A second in the indoor series on his Jr and 5th in the open class on his Sr. He is doing great. He is the young buck out of all his friends and racers. In the open class he was 4 years younger then the boy that won. His holeshots have been stellar, working on corner speed every time we hit the track. We are going to the Loretta Lynns Regional in a month on the PW and Jr.  Wish him luck! If your on instagram give him a follow @logi.bear93

A few pictures from our weekend trip to NC. We hit up East Bend, 421mx and center road.

Alpina USA. The wheels are pricey and it took 3 months to deliver.

I think I should've just went with tubes and Warp 9.
