I know you're eager to see more photos, but really, guys...do you think this kind of input is warranted?

Here's a novel idea...instead of public critiques on a forum, how about being gentlemen and contacting me directly?

Gentlemen, let's give Joe a break.

He has posted so many updates this month, I can hardly keep up with them.

We appreciate your participation in these forums, Joe.

Thanks for posting the photos, Rojo.

If you have time, we would love to see more closeup photos of your bike, and additional photographs of your TT250 in its native habitat.

Skid Plate and Tail Rack installed.

SpudRider · 05-25-2016, 10:23 PM

Those are high quality, functional accessories, Rojo.

Nice!!!! That is my color also. I ordered the skid plate and white hand guards. When did you order yours? I placed my order on Feb. 27.

Tail rack is sweet! The initials in it are a nice touch.

Thanks for those pics too, Rojo! They look great! Yeah, those are two must have accessories for sure. They're on my wish list.

I ordered around November 30th. I was told I was order #8.

I have some wrap around hand guards to install in white, Acerbis knock-offs from Amazon.

The skid plate and tail rack seem well made and sturdy. I will likely swap out the stock screws for stainless screws for the tail rack that will be a little more flush.

now - about that new rope. I prefer hemp over nylon!

No kidding! Chill Joe! I was just "funnin'" with the Derek thing. You've been doing a great job posting and keeping us up to date and also, entertained with your blog between any bike news. If anything, you have us spoiled! :-p
Personally, I prefer parachute cord! No pesky fibers to irritate the sensitive neck skin.....

Awesome rojo! The white looks spectacular!...but I was hoping to get the first pic up with a RX3 and a TT, dang-it!

So... am I the only one who cares about the 'Knot' used on said rope? I personally could care less about what rope is used... new, old, silk, hemp... it's the knot tied on that rope (in the right place) that ends things quickly when done right

that's going to take a thousand yards of paracord just to make the knot big enough. I was just hoping to avoid sisal as its really scratchy. OLD barnacle covered sailing ropes would possibly be the worst.
