    Tesla ATV and Cybertruck

    I'm really looking forward to when these e-pickups actually hit the road. My money is on the Rivian or Ford versions as being the most "standard pickup truck" like of the bunch. I was so disappointed in the design of the Tesla. There's a reason the best selling pickups all look the same, form...

    Help finding an Alta

    Have you tried Craigslist? I set up a west coast US search for Alta's when I was looking for mine, found one down in Cali. From these search results, I like to scroll down to the "Open All" blue button and click that to open all the CL areas in seperate tabs in my browser, makes it easier to...

    Tesla ATV and Cybertruck

    We would have gotten a tongue lashing from Ron Banta, our hs mechanical drawing teacher, if we submitted that lazy design.

    Storm Bee

    Looks difficult to activate it and be holding onto the bars securely at the same time just when you need to be holding on securely the most. Weird and unnecessary "feature".

    Storm Bee

    Well that certainly sounds encouraging. KYB forks? Sign me up! $7k price sounds great too. Can't wait for people to get their hands on these things and start reporting back to all of us.

    I agree. I rode 125 2 strokes for years and they are blast in the woods and on the track, the only downside was lack of low end torque. Electric motor takes care of that issue. Peak horsepower ratings can be very misleading as peak HP is rarely used by most riders, especially when trail...

    EXR #202 stolen in Utah

    For some reason I'm not able to break out the searches by region although I know search tempest uses them. Here is an entire US search that I think should be faster then trying to search CL one state at a time. Alta on SearchTempest - Entire US

    EXR #202 stolen in Utah

    Exactly. This search I set up and saved as a Bookmark/Favorite. It searches CL for "Alta" in the motorcycles for sale section, searches Titles only, and covers the entire west coast. Alta on SearchTempest - West Coast Once I hit search, I like to click on the "Open All" button and that opens...

    Storm Bee

    Yes, will be interesting to see how this thing does once its out and about. Or out and a boot as our brother's to the north would say, Lol.

    Storm Bee

    I was wondering too, but they are landing the front end angled to match the slopes more or less, and doing it consistently, so perhaps doing it on purpose? Btw, my MXR feels front heavy to me, was commented on by a friend who test rode it too.

    Show me the pics of your most favorite bike!

    The very short demo ride that sucked me in. This is Skagit Motorsports' demo MX, I wonder if this is the one that they took to Bonneville?

    Alta Nope

    No worries, I got it, just felt the need to put it out there as things can be so easily misconstrued especially by people who are anti-orv. And poking fun, yes, please do, that's why I posted it, poking fun at myself for getting my ass kicked when I really should have known better then to try...

    Alta Nope

    Definitely not. You can see the old trail in the vid. As I mentioned above "I was trying to ride an old neglected trail". I think it might be fair to say I used poor judgement by trying to ride an old neglected trail and in the process ended up taking some go arounds due to windfall, etc...

    Alta Nope

    Lol, not a fan of the Christini setup (weight, complexity, quirky handling) but I can see the attraction. Staying out of terrain that is not suited to 270 lb dirt bikes of any engine type is probably a better idea for me. Lopping off 20-40 lbs of the weight of the bike would help too. My old...

    Alta Nope

    Trying to connect trails on my 2018 MXR via an old trail section. A 270 lb dirt bike on soft, low traction, lots of holes ground is hard work. And I did actually try to limit tire spin, not easy to do at times. Classic dangling foot dab into the air around the 10 second mark. "Where's the...

    EXR #202 stolen in Utah

    I'm thinking/hoping these thieves will come to realize they have a hot potato on their hands and will leave it somewhere to be found just to get it away from them. Then again, your common garden variety thief isn't too bright so perhaps they won't. Either way, as others have mentioned, the...

    Theoretical top speed

    Well, I'm nominating you for the moment. Please drop everything in your life and get on this and report back to us. Thanks. Lol. No seriously, this would be fun. I wish I was healthier, would get my butt down to Bonneville next year for some fun. -Eddie
