Thanks but I'll be alright. Actually I had a 24' ladder with leveling legs, but I sold it to my cousin. I bet I can just borrow it again. That's a great idea that I should have thought of. Thanks!Quote:

The swelling has reduced significantly in the past week. Things are looking up.
Irving, you can have all of my roof work. I'm not a fan and don't know how you do it. Stay safe.
I meant taking photos like with their cell phone, and parading all the interns in to see your knee. Thanks for the picture though.
What kind of roof work do you need to do?
Fortunately, no roof work needed. We're not going to hang lights on the house.
Oh good. I'm kind of over hanging lights, but will stick to it for the next few weeks because it won't last that much longer.
I want to have time to get this TTR225 running. The more I look into it, the more it sounds like a beginner bike for adults, which is pretty much what I want.
Another seasonal job?Quote:

Little extra spending $$$ for the holidays, never hurts.Quote:

I'm sure it could use some going through, so I have no idea what the actual ride quality is. I guess I'll pony up for a battery, but $85 seems damn expensive for such a tiny battery. I need to talk to Grant about making a super capacitor pack instead.
Nice! Congrats!
Thanks, pretty soon I'll be the coolest guy in the neighborhood, within the category of "guys who just got their first girl bike."
If you're buying a battery, invest in a Battery Tender. Hate to see that $85 crap out by Feb.Quote:

I have a tender. I can get the battery on Amazon for $35, but with no acid. Is it cheap enough/easy enough to just fill the battery myself? If I'm filling the battery, can I just refill the current battery? I assume there is some kind of consumable that was used up.

I've currently been using the battery out of my chicken coop to try starting the bike. I just plug it back into the solar system to charge it back up, which is really nice.
Should I turn that DT400 into a cafe racer street bike?
Why not ?Quote:

Speaking of ice tires, do they still race the jeeps on the ice on Georgetown lake?
I think so, but haven't driven by during a race day in a few years.

The suspension is definitely soft. I think I'd lose a drag race to my minivan.
You done good with the TTR, will make a good family bike.
Agreed. I need to see if my daughter would have the confidence to ride it.
It does have a soft suspension and that’s what makes it so user friendly. It’s wont beat you up like the motocross bikes will. It’ll be a great camp site bike or something to get your kids on for the first time.
Yeah that's what I'm hoping. I really want to hit some dirt, but my experience is very shallow. I'm thinking of taking it up to tool around at my place up in Pawnee, but I think that will get boring pretty quick. What about something like Fall River Reservoir, or King's Peak?
Any time in the seat is a good time, even if you’re just putting around your property. I’ve never been to those places you cite, but maybe TFOGGER will have some ideas.
King's Peak goes from Nederland to Alice by Saint Mary's Glacier. Fall River Reservoir (and Chinn's Lake) are down below Alice off the Fall River Reservoir exit on I-70, which is the first exit West of Idaho Springs. So very close.
Being your first one. I suggest you start off slower, get a feel for the bikes performance & limitations. It's easier to find out up in pawnee, than St. Mary's Glacier.Quote:

And riding gear in general. Also a way to repair a flat tire in the middle of nowhere.Quote:

That's why Pawnee is a good idea. If it shuts down, I can just drive over to where it stopped and pick it up. Meanwhile I can run it through the paces with confidence.

My wife had a TTR225. The thing I mostly didn?t like was the lack of a kick starter. I searched high and low and nobody made a kit or conversion that I could find.
She rode it while she was learning and then it got sold in the big dirt bike purge of 2004.
