Thanks Tadiv. I'll have to check into it. I haven't bought the bike yet, and neither has he called me to accept my original offer, but I don't think the bike will be selling anytime soon.

What kind of tires do you guys run? On my 450 I ran a Dunlop 952 in front and the usual 756 in rear for Ocotillo Wells riding. Just curious.

Ive had Dunlops, Bridgestone, Cheepie Ching/ Changs... All kinds.

My choice?

Maxxis Desert IT's !

I called the guy about 10:30 last night. Talked to him for about 30 minutes. I told him I would call today to come see it ( I wont) then I'll call him at 10:30 tonight and ask him why he didnt answer the phone all day, and that I'm pissed off about it!

Bridgestone 201 front and Kenda Washougal rear. Kenda cause I got it as a prize from Vet X. Seems to be wearing well and was really hooking up for a 110 at Cahuilla today. Normally Maxxis rear either it or si.
