Jerry Durelle is over in Elizabeth right? Do I need to set up an appointment over there to get my bike in? I'm sure they are pretty busy. It's hard for me to down my bike since I ride it so much when the weather is nice. Who has had a good ride lately?

Not a true Supermoto but here's my ole' girl.

Thanks!

It was a 98 400SC, topped out about 55ish the way it was geared. Really fun to ride around Fort Collins.
But alas, I roasted the motor and didn't have the $$ to fix it so I traded it off.

I would love to get another but I need to get into a house first.

can anyone in the springs who is knowledgeable about bikes come and check one out with me

looking at this my only concern is does it need a quick carb rebuild or a new engine....

Being an 04 CRF 450 it probably needs valves. These are notorious for the valves receding into the head. Even if it isn't starting due to something else, it will need valves before long.

yea i talked to the guy on the phone i dont think im gonna do it buying stuff that doesnt work is always a recipe for disaster

according to him he started it it ran he put it in his trailier drove to wherever he was going and it wouldnt start so he pulled the head and changed the piston put it back together and it still dosent run

which means it has the original problem plus who knows if this guy properly did anything so the pistons gonna have to be checked

I agree definitely don't pick that one up!

I used to have a friend that never rode but swore that motards were cooler then sportbikes (which I have always ridden)..

we ended up calling him mo-tarded for awhile. lol

that said, they are very cool bikes

Bump anyone had a good ride lately? I have been riding mine during the wee hours of the night when I can't sleep (I work graves now). I will likely be on my motard tomorrow for the meet n' greet at Bass Pro. Anyone else going over there?
