    WTB rims for a KTM 250XC

    Anybody have a set of rims that will fit a 2008 KTM 250XC? Looking to get out and play on the ice a little this winter. Some with usable ice racing tires would be a bonus. Some for my son's KLX110 would be fun too :)

    Steering Dampener for 2007 SV 650

    Gen 2 SV650 for track bike?

    I too like FI but Gen1 and Gen2 bikes can be made to be equally competitive. Some even prefer the Gen1. I have never run anything but stock rear sets and have never had a clearance issue. If you are tall, I believe the 2003 is the tallest of the Gen2 models. I think getting a used race bike is...

    Gen 2 SV650 for track bike?

    Gary, I'm the same age and ~weight as you. Have been racing the same Gen2 since they came out in 2003.....with a few mods along the way ;-) Obviously I am biased but I think the SV is a great bike to start and continue to race with.

    2015 AGM Meeting Minutes

    Mike, thanks for offering to administer this. I'm one of those who has to travel a fair distance to race with the EMRA and, for what it's worth, this sounds reasonable to me.
