I put this together last year. The goal was a sub $500 (including optics) Target AR that could shoot MOA or better. It's a "smooth" build target AR. Anderson .223 Wylde (.223/5.56), DPMS Target thick walled upper, Hogue aluminum free floated forend, 24x Tasco Varmint scope, etc. I'm sure there are some higher end ARs that could do better, but this one is hard to beat for $500. I bought a few parts used, and manged to stay under budget.

Hi all. My name is Erik. Moved to Cincinnati from Florida a few months ago. Not used to not being able to ride for 4 months out of the year. Looking to do some riding once the weather is right.

Fuck it, just buy a 1K and be done with it.

Not doing that one then. I'll sick with my $1050 for VIR for 2 days.

I feel like you should’ve known that was a double ear protection gun. You can feel that gun in your soul

Got new tars so I cleaned the motor oil off the chain and sprocket and swingarm etc and mounted the wheels back up last night. Kerosene is a damn fine solvent and cleaner. Plan to scrub them in tonight if the weather holds.

I went and shot the 7" 7.62 I got from the Midget over the weekend...Still can't hear shit!

We need warm weather...

You really are an idiot. When I worked for BMW safelite would replace the glass then it was up to us to recalibrate any windshield sensors and heads up display. Just hooking up to diagnostic software was 1 hour labor. $120 per hour 7 years ago. Plus whatever book time stated for hooking up the alignment mechanism for the HUD which was usually another hour and then wiper calibration was usually included with the 1 hour diagnostic time. So basically you had 2 hours in tech labor to revalibry anything. Plus the cost of the glass and safelites labor. Not to mention the “special” adhesives and if any trim broke being the mid west with extensive heating and cooling cycles. It was almost always quotes whenever the vehicle was outside of 5 years / 60,000 mike warranty.

If it wasn't 15 track day's worth of $$ I'd consider it Apparently we got our answer for where our supporter money is going though. HAVE FUN BEN.

Are you retarded???

I have never understood the fear of the freeway for new riders, and to be clear I went through the same thing. Pretty much everyone does. On the street it's the safest and easiest place to ride. No lights, no one turning left in front of you..no one darting in from side streets. Traffic just moves along and is much more predictable.

July 2 is the Ohio riders track day. Lots of us will be there.

Met up with @NinjaDoc and picked up his exhaust from his FJR to go on mine. Was great seeing you Nivin!

Ran it out of fuel. Sonofabitch. Why did I leave 5 miles worth of gas in the tank?! Haha

Tentatively in!

Just for you

Replaced the calipers and pads on the sv.

I had a lot of experimenting with mine. is it the stock or procycle needle? I think there's a rcommended ktm? one, and you can also chuck a stock one in a drill and custom grind it. Mine had an aftermarket exhaust. cold air will make it more lean than usual, changing non-riing day temps will make tuning more of a hassle. http://drriders.com/bst-magic-stock-carb-mods-dr650-derestriction-inst-t16700.html http://drriders.com/ktm-needle-mod-t14893.html

will be buying first bike this year and will need someone to help me ride as well as the confidence to get on the highway as well
