Interesting isn't it? Dealing with fueling issues all day, chemicals, exhaust pipes, air fuel mixture adjustments. Too bad there isn't a bike that doesn't have all that crap, Lol.

Ps: you know you've been wrenching hard when you hack up black crap in your hack at the end of the day. I really need an Alta, Lol.

I'm trying to carpe my diem! But getting my funds together is taking time, so I'm not ready to pull the trigger today unfortunately. And the two dudes that I spoke directly to about buying their Alta's recently, both told me that they are nervous about parts and tech support since Alta went...

Right on, thanks for the input!

I'm hoping to get about 20 miles single track, not sure what that will work out to hours wise. From what I'm reading here that should be no problem.

Yes! Absolutely, thank you for mentioning, and forgive me for not mentioning, Lol. You guys helped me decide that an Alta purchase is workable given my pros/cons, then last night I was just doing some mental gymnastics about the best way to get this done as quickly as possible without impacting...

New plan and I am excited! Some times insomnia is a good thing! Realized last night that instead of temporarily dipping into the family savings to make an Alta purchase which I always try to avoid at all costs, and instead of waiting months to finish the work on my 928 so I can sell it to fund...

Very kind of you! I am always up for a local taking me out on their favorite trails. I've got access to my buddies property in Monroe, WA 24/7. 80 acres of killer single track. Its not scenic mountain riding, but it is a fun place to rip. If you're ever up for the ride over this way let me know...

Hmm, everyone on the Alta owners forum is strongly recommending buying one. Who would have thought? Ha ha. No seriously, thank you all for the input, its greatly appreciated! And pretty much what I was expecting. I am going to keep reading and learning here. I'm seriously leaning towards...

Ha ha, been a long time since anyone's said that to me. As a former defensive captain on my "midget" football team from back in the day, I said that with as much authority as an 11 year could muster many times, Lol.

That is too funny! The same weekend I test rode the Alta, I also got to put some miles on a KTM 350 XCF-W finally, a bike I have had my eye on for some time. That was Saturday. 5 seconds into riding the KTM I wanted one bad! Decided to sell my very well setup, single track assassin Husky WR165...

And there was much rejoicing! Lol. Great news, can't wait to hear more.

Context: MXR or EXR would be fine. I'm an old 58 yr old, not too healthy, slow trail rider and pretty lazy. No racing. No mx. Prefer single track with a mix of smooth slalom type trails and sections of nasty gnar mixed in to keep it interesting. Yes: Super fun bike! It's so quiet! Lack of...

Sweet! Anybody notice the background noise from the highway? It's as loud as the bike noise at times. The background noise in that area appears to be almost as loud as the bike itself. Amazing. Of course the cell phone vid could be deceiving, but there's no denying how quiet these bikes are...

Laguna Seca is the bomb! Riding the cork screw on your Alta?! Do it. Post vids. We thank you.

Very sorry to hear of this development. As a wanna be-Alta owner, I've been closely monitoring things since Alta went belly up. You guys have been doing a great job of beginning to be self supporting, but there are so many unknowns, and break downs like this are the only things keeping me from...

That's what my buddies and I do when we venture out to Juniper Dunes in WA State. Cut the flag shaft a bit shorter, stick it in your pack pack/chest protector, secure it however you like. Works good, never got hassled by authorities, not sure how this setup would go over in other areas. If...

It's great to see you guys coming together for this race, you're going to love it. Sounds like you guys are covering all the important bases, but here's some random input based on the couple of times I've run it (keep in mind I'm an old slow trail rider, definitely not a racer, have only done 3...

I've done the Starvation Ridge 24 Hr twice, its killer. This is a no brainer, you must do it. -Ed

Riding in shorts?! You're going to burn your leg on the...errrr. Nevermind, Lol. And you guys are killing me with your Alta ride almost anywhere pics and vids, I'm jealous.
