DRKWNG

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

In his case..more like 3"!   [laugh]

Damn ML..I am REALLY missing my DR350 now!!

Congrats!!  [thumbsup]

Hill..love that BMW!!

There's so much suspension travel on this bike- I thought the front was off the ground but I wasn't sure if the rear was.

Still getting used to having both wheels off the ground at once :D

Build a shed!

currently living in a townhome in a new style rowhouse style and the garage is on the backside of the house accessed by a shared alley...if I could, I totally would....and I'd be looking to have a CRF150F mini-motard and a DR350 beater dualsport as well...but it isn't to be... and in the garage with my CGC and the track bike, is my GF's M620 and my sister's M750 as well as a full bar and my tools and all kinds of other stuffs stowed away.

Storage locker for the extraneous stuff?  Tell your sister she's cramping your style and her bike has to go?

Work with me here, man!

well...if I had my druthers, I'd win the lottery and just buy a house with a big ass plot of land and have a big ass barn style 2 level garage...then it'd be all solved....and I'd cut in a lil dirt track for playtime on the mini as well...

Now we're talkin!

Sounds like you need more room or less stuff.

That SMT should kick ass.  I haven't been on one but from the reports i've read and pictures i've looked at it seems reeeeeeaaaally similar to my SMR but with more power and some comfort amenities.

I added a luggage rack and givi topcase to mine and can tour on it reasonably well.  More power and fuel injection would be cool though.

Dirt riding is huge fun  [thumbsup]

Where are you located? 

If you want some more air off that little bump try a seat-bounce.  Basically you go off it seated and hammer the throttle hard, then let off just as the rear wheel is leaving the ramp.  This loads up then unloads the suspension and tosses you higher.  Very helpful on MX/SX tracks where if you aren't quite fast enough to clear a jump from an inside line or something while standing.
