I ordered a new side by side so the two I have currently need to go...I currently have for sale a 2016 Yamaha YXZ1000R special edition with 1,000 miles on it and a 2014 RZR 900XC. The Yamaha is showroom condition with only modifications being a speaker unit. The Polaris has a lot of accessories (windshield, cooler, spare tire and rim, back travel cover, and tons of spare parts). My new unit will not be in for a couple of weeks so while I wait I thought I would see if anyone wanted a good deal. Prices below are what they are wanting to give me in trade. If anyone would like them before I trade please contact me. Trade in is definitely below market value, I understand they need to make money too but I would rather see someone get a deal instead. Yamaha $11,000 Polaris $6,000

Just back to Ohio where I’ll begin prep for YT and AK departure on the 12th. I attended the Horizons Unlimited travelers meeting near Appomattox and had a great time hanging out with like minded people that don’t think you’re crazy for cashing in and leaving “normalcy” behind to create your own normal. On the way home I was hosted by Lauren and Paul Brenner at Rainbow Farm near the New River Gorge in WV. Aside from running an organic chicken farm and riding the world in their spare time (check out their YT channel “the other end of the Rainbow) they run the Appalachian Motorcycle Adventure tour company. Lauren took me for an awesome 250 mile loop through some crazy WV dirt roads. They cater to all skill levels up to hard enduro (they have one day ride with over 100 water crossings!).

Whenever Amanda tries to correct my behavior, my response is... "I've been <insert activity in question here> longer than you've been sucking oxygen. Pretty sure I got it under control." Shuts it down pretty quickly. 😆

Carrollton Airport on 43 just south of town. Great home cooking and amazing pie!!

Where was that at

Watched this land while eating pie, bike was parked nearby.

Seems reasonable to me.

Will health insurance cover an aftermarket pipe as psychiatric testing?

Just got back from Siils. Honda says end of May for the parts. I have a June 10th appointment. My spare aftermarket pump got here today. Gonna stash it in the saddlebag just for insurance.

Kinda bought it from Joe. It was Pam's deal but Joe did the paperwork and went over the delivery process. He seems like a good guy that has really learned a lot about the dealership since he has been working there. He is a pleasure to talk to when I'm there and I always learn something from him when I'm there. Apparently he can ride wheelies which is something I wish I could do. If I could you would never see me with two wheels on the ground. He also races or has done track days can't remember. He and I had a conversation about track stuff when he first started in '18 or '19? I think he has forgotten about it or doesn't recognize me because I have a full beard and long hair currently. He has recently given me some riding advice and acted skeptical when I mentioned some street riding techniques I tell new group riders. I get the opinion that he thinks I'm just some old guy that can't ride well because I didn't want to turn off all the safety devices on my bikes like he does. Fucking smug young kids!

@Uncle Punk did you buy from Joe? He used to live across the street from me when he was a young rider on a Ninja 250. I talked riding with him a few times, let him borrow stands, etc. Then ran into him many years later at Sills.

Congratulations, she is pretty.

How generous but didn't you see? I just bought a new bike and am currently poor!

It has enough electronic controls to rock you in the cradle of nanny safety. I over paid for this bike just to have a bike right now to the extent that I wouldn't have bought the Competition version without these unique circumstances. I wasn't completely satisfied with my '16 SXR because of the over intrusive electronics so as soon as they announced this MXR I got on the list because it has two generations of updated electronics which shouldn't neuter the bike in specific scenarios. A few weeks after that I cleaned my bike up ready to sell and put it up for consignment at the dealership which was in July. I didn't ride last summer at all past mid July. There is a white MXR with the same motor, same electronics and forged wheels without all the carbon fiber, which would have been perfect but no one knows when they will be available. That bike would have saved $5,500 in M.S.R.P. over the one I bought just because I wanted a bike now to overcompensate for the lack of riding last year. I'm coming up on a return to work date in June from a five month leave of absence so I'm trying to get as much riding in as I can by then.

I would sell it to you, with everything for 2900

Wow! Just WOW!!! I'm really glad I'm old enough to know that I don't need anything like this beast in my garage...or in my life...which would be very short from time of acquisition to ugly, terrifying death.

According to my one-track lizard brain the curves are the only sights worth seeing 😀

@Tpoppa I was just telling some people yesterday that I rode past the Big Muskie Bucket for ten years before I knew it was there. The curves in front of it demanded concentration so I didn't have time for sight seeing. We were on a ride one time and you were having some hand issues that wouldn't let you ride for as long as we usually did so we stopped there. Now it's always the first solo ride of every season for me to shake the cobwebs out. I'm thankful for that experience.
