Having a veteran of the race would be a tremendous asset to the effort, if we can get enough interest to make a team. At this point I don't have any commitments in October, so looking forward to being part of the team.
If we can find a couple more riders to join us, I will have to start buying some extra lights to get my bike prepared. And if we don't win, we can at least have fun, and that's more important!
The enterprising folks on this forum are making their own replacement parts now, by next Christmas we ought to be able to assemble an entire new bike from parts produced by forum members. Who needs an OEM then?
There a blast, that's for sure, it's inevitable that someone is going to either resume production of our bikes, or something similar, possibly better. The real question is how soon will it happen.
Welcome to the club, you have some pretty cool toys there. You will love the EXR, it's a very capable machine, either technical enduro and trail or urban alley racer, it has a wide range of capabilities.
Be sure to share some pictures of your rides.
