I know what could help us get more racers. Your dealer needs to sell more Altas!

 

[snydes]

Funny you should say that... he can't keep any in stock. He sells every one he gets with exception to a SM that was there (which I think is a demo). Told me he actually had to send some guys to other dealers.

 

[MrTaskRacing]

Let me look into it. I’m definitely close enough.

Busines as usual for us the owners, while waiting for the next week's promised announcement.
BAD NEWS

I'm still in for this race. I honestly feel the Alta is too good not be picked up by KTM or some investor group.

Anyhow, I need to get my monies worth of fun out it. No good just sitting around or selling it now.

 

[snydes]

I'm still in. I really doubt that these are going to go away, it's just going to be new ownership and then the question is how they will support the existing bikes. Definitely really bummed though.

Here's the list as of now:

@snydes
@Philip
@teddyquinn
@OneLapper

 

[OneLapper]

Maybe @Duncan will consider joining us, and/or one of his buddies with an Alta.

I'll post something on the Adventure Riders Alta thread.

 

[OneLapper]

@Motophyllic , do you have any interest in this event? I see you're located in NY

Give it some thought! We'll need to register our team in a couple of weeks

 

[Motophyllic]

Looks like an awesome event. Unfortunately, I can’t commit to it though. I’d love to do an Alta team, but I baby my EXRs way too much to do this.

 

[MrTaskRacing]

Ahhhh--- I baby my Sherco too, so you should be OK. The track is pretty wide open. I've never broke anything, if that helps ( on the bike, that is ;-) ) Ha!

 

[snydes]

Glad to see you are still hanging around Mark! I so want to go back to talking about 24 hour races rather than what we've been talking about as late.

 

[MrTaskRacing]

I can imagine. You all set up? How's she look on the Alta?

 

[snydes]

No, I was all ready to put together a group to get the lighting and then all this happened.

 

[MrTaskRacing]

Bummer. Well YOU will be well lit!!! Ha!

 

[snydes]

I didn't actually get my kit yet! I was anxious to for the winter months but I got hurt and can't ride anyhow

 

[MrTaskRacing]

Oh man!
Bummer! I am still nursing a bad shoulder too, but it's not stopped me from riding. Check out RideCake.com Some Pretty Cool stuff.
Heard of them?

 

[snydes]

Nope, I’ll check it out!

 

[OneLapper]

Hey @privateer703 ! I think you should join us for this event! It'll be fun, I'll have my RV so a bunk and hot shower are available.

 

[Philip]

@MrTaskRacing -- Mark, that was me who you hooked up with a lighting kit. It looks beautiful. I didn't get to try it out though...

Just hooked up the battery to it, went outside (it's night now), and flicked the switch. It lit up the subdivision pretty good!

I will be testing it on the bike late next week.
