The low Fender is what sold me on it. The non US specs had the lower fender and for a good reason. You get soaked with the high fender and your engine gets all gunked up.

I Like Trail Buddys Pro bike better than this. Its a little More $$ but it also looks a little better than the Pitster classic.

Their Street legal 160cc motard was bitchin though.

I never thought of the high fender soaking, but then again, we rarely get rain in this forsaken desert land :?

The 160cc motard w/14" rims is nice, but I am still wanting the XTR 250 motard.

Do you have a link to the trail buddy bike?

You can have some of our rain if you want, I'll try to send it down with the snowbirds next season, deal?

The snowbirds weren't too bad this year--and the majority seemed to be from Canada. There is no need for both, just send one or the other.

I'll see what I can do

BARF!

Remember this nightmare? Me too. Especially since I just drove by this goofs bait and tackle shop he runs now.

I was real tempted to stop in and say Hi or something to that effect.

Anyway I know stated it some where but I did finally get the goofy thing titled and eventually shoehornd a 140cc engine Into it. It's still running great. And its one of those bikes ill just probably keep forever.

BTW, thanks for the site Frostbite. And congrats to the new owner, the new layout is nice.
