Once a motorhead....
Well I sent my Ohlins forks and shock off to LTR to get re-valved and sprung for my weight. I bought new high rise bars made by Renthal and offset lower pegs to help fit the bike to my height. Add that to the new gear since I had none as I'm just getting back into riding. Now I'm wondering if this old bike of mine is worth throwing all that coin at it. I do realize that if I bought a new bike I would have to do the same thing but at least my money pit would shine. I can somewhat justify it by thinking I can transfer some of these parts to a newer model someday. Don't get me wrong, I'm no pilgrim when it comes to motor sports and spending money, this is actually much less expensive than drag racing cars, a sport that I did for many years between the motocross days of my youth and now. I knew that when I sold my auto shop that someday when the burnout of working 12 to 16 hours a day in my own business had faded away some kind of mechanical thing would draw me back and here it is. If it's in your blood once a motorhead always a motorhead.

Clay,
I probably will because I want two bikes so my son can ride with me. I'm currently shopping for a trials bike and then I'll be after another enduro. I'm wondering why you think I should get a new one? Doug |

The deal to be had on a 2010 XC300.....
That's where I'd put your money. New bike + Les do'n his thing...how can you go wrong. Although..... a new 2011 XC300 with a magic button sounds awful tempting. Clay I think you should sell Doug one of each and a new TXT to boot. JMHO.
