    I was actually trying to load a few newer photo's.

    I added the two new ones into my gallery, worked fine there. If someone can do that trick again, I'd appreciate it.

    What tires are you guys running on these things?
    Melzer 120/80 VB16 M33 Laser Compk (front)
    160/60 VB17 ME1 MBS (rear)

    I'm thinking of some new boots...

    I love those bikes. For spending 10 years under a tarp outside, it sure looks pretty good. What kind of mileage do you have on it? As far as tires go, look at the Bridgestone Battlax. I run them on all of my older bikes.

    Nice and clean looking. Doesn`t look like it spent 10 years under a tarp. Good save.

    Very nice .... looks to be in great shape for a bike that spent that amount of time below a tarp.

    Thanks again for loading those pics TRX250R

    There's 25k km on it so a lil' over 16k miles.

    The best part was picking it up, he had lost the keys. I show up with a buddy to drag it out and the steering lock was on. What a tank!
    I thought I was going to need crane in order to load onto the trailer. It would be something I'd expect to see on the Discovery channel,
    Monster Moves!

    Hey XS650RR - are the trout running? :)

    Yep, change season means the change of toys. Can't beat, might as well join it.
    Maybe I'll stud the tires on the VF, think it would make a good ice racer? LOL.
