Very cool !! Great looking bike and congrats on the recognition.

It's interesting that some of us who already own these bikes are thinking this way. I have started actively looking for an SM. I don't know how seriously yet, but if I can find a good deal on one of these worthless ALTAs* I would probably jump. * frequently seen internet perspective since...

Updated. However, it may be a little too close to reality. :muutt:

The comments about profitability and viability would not need to be accurate for the company to be in this situation. ALTA is a private company and I don't have inside visibility to their financial reports so I am just speculating on the more optimistic side of the coin. This is based on my...

I suspect the actual Board of Directors decision to shut operations did effectively happen overnight. When an agreement with the second investment group was not reached this was one of the logical and typical business outcomes. It does not mean ALTA is gone. It means they needed to...

Just tried from the link at the bottom of the homepage and it worked fine. 53 Mb so it took a few seconds. Also checked the link in the Owner Portal and that worked as well.

In my 40+ years of riding and racing, I have found that it is almost never the bike's fault. :muutt:

NASA astronauts will be using ALTAs on the next lunar and extra-planetary missions so they needed a very wide temperature range. No need for those bulky and heavy rovers. Just add the wire mesh 'tires' and the EXR is ready to explore the solar system. :ricky:

Thanks for the notice. Great news that the new version is posted. Thank you ALTA. And yes, I am one of those people who reads and references an owners manual. I actually have the full shop manuals for most of my bikes.

I can't comment from an informed perspective on the SMR, other than to ask the obvious question of whether you have talked directly with your dealer about getting one. That is how I got info on the EXR. Regarding the Harley/Alta agreement and any possible termination of that agreement, I can...

You will probably just need to look at the detailed rules and entry form for each specific event. The 24 hour races are not part of a national series so each sponsoring club can organize things their own way. Most often the AMA membership requirement is dependent on how the club is...

It sounds like you have already started with some formal training and that is a great idea for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is to avoid locking in bad habits and incorrect techniques. A number of your roadracing techniques and the automatic reactions you developed with experience...

In case anyone is interested in that stuff called pavement, beIN SPORTS also carries MotoGP, World Superbike, and MotoAmerica roadracing. However, for some reason a lot of the large cable and satellite providers are dropping the beIN SPORTS channel in 2018. :rolleyes:

Highway Dirt Bikes makes such a product, but I think you can only use the mirrors with their handguards. I have been using the DoubleTake Enduro mirrors on all of my dual sport bikes for a lot of years. I have tested them with some pretty violent crashes and they are incredibly durable. A...

It looks like a nice riding park. Enduro trails, MX track, beginners' area, and kids' area. Electricridepark.de And less than 10 minutes from the town center !! Less than 20 minutes from Göttingen. If e-bikes take off in the U.S. maybe we'll get something similar and I won't need to...

Great to hear this ! My AOF stickers from @magatta arrived earlier this week. They are top quality. (y)

Thanks. I found several videos. Here are two. I may need to increase my effort on finding the 19 inchers. Not surprisingly, the maps are critical to traction on a slick track. YT Flat Track - Debrino - 2016 Salem, OR YT Flat Track - Monaco & Birtwistle - 2018 Salem, OR

It's a concept bike. The only reason for stopping is for the photographer. :ricky: I have actually been casually looking for a set of 19 inch KTM dirt track wheels for the EXR, however not sure I want to be the first to try this out. The power pulse timing of the twin and single flat track...

This is great ! Thanks for adding this capability.

I have a Shoei shaped head. My road helmet, dual sport helmet, and dirt helmet are all Shoeis. Many years ago when I was roadracing I had Bell helmets and they were equally comfortable. I have never been able to wear Arai helmets. I am on my third VFX-W. I have replaced the old ones...
