I really need to get a ride on a new gg300.
-
Reviews like that is exactly why I don't ride a "newer" KTM 300. I know I can't afford one right now, and I don't want to make my old girl ( 2000 300 EXC) look old or feel outdated... I've been to a few KTM days, and only rode the 144/150. but drooled all over the 300's.

I agree that they usually turn into an exspensive i just want to ride one rides. :D

I gotta tell ya enprovenzano your 2000 KTM-300exc still looks great and I can tell by the pics that you take really good care of your Katoom..! One other thing I like about your 300exc is unlike my 300xc your ride has lights & the enduro rear fender in which case my ride has neither.. :-[

Thanks maicoman009 I appreciate the kind words. I try take care of my equipment... I have to I'm to damn cheap to buy a new bike. I have vowed never be the one who gets to the trail head and then has to fix my bike before we go riding... I understand equipment (especially dirt bikes) break, but I pride myself on prepping my equipment before I go riding so I'll know it will get me there and back... (usually).
I purchased the katoom several years ago... I found it at a dealer and offered way less then they wanted... (again I'm cheap). The bike sat, I keep after them. After 3 months, I got a call from the sales manager. They accepted my price ($1,500) as he wanted it off the floor. They needed the room as a shipment of the new CRF150 rockets just arrived... :P :P The catch, I needed to pick it up that day... my only problem is that I had to drive 3 hours to their shop... I drove as fast as i could, got there a half hour before they closed... I fired her up and ripped around the parking lot, put her on my trailer and drove the 3 hours home. My wife thought I was nuts, but arenā??t we allā?¦.

That's similar to how I bought my 08 KTM-300 as the 09's were already in the shop so I made the dealer an offer that saved me $1250.00 & the dealer was more than happy to get the left over Katoom off the showroom floor & I was quite happy to save alot of money! I think nowadays if possible everybody looking to save money on a newer or leftover bike should make a low offer because usually the dealer will take the offer to make room for the new models coming in.... ;D

For you ford.

Now you can have one. ;D
Yeah,sure,thanks a gob TMKIWI.Now I'm sitting here mentally adding up my bank account :'( :D
-
It's only money. ;D
Now where is that money tree ? :-X
-
I think my wife grows it somewhere-now I just need to find it.... :D
-
Ford if your wife is anything like my ex-wife she's probably picking the money right out of your pocket and into hers! Your the,or her personal money tree.... :o
-
LMFAO :D Especially after the wife heard me so looked over my shoulder to see what I was laughing at.Oh btw,she doesn't like you now ;)
-
Honestly Ford I was just joking.At least about your wife but definetly NOT about my ex-wife!
I happen to be friends with her new husband & when I go down to their house to visit my ex-stepson he's ( the new husband) always asking me if she ( my ex-wife) has always spent money like she does? So I have to tell him the truth and the answer to that question is ever since I met her she has always spent our money like the end of the freakin' world was coming or something!
I also tell her new hubby that she's your problem now not mine....lol,lol,lol... ;D :P :D ;)

I hope I did'nt get you into any trouble Ford.Tell your wife I'm SORRY & let me know what happens Ford? ???
-
Nah,what's she gonna do,cut me off :D We're on the way to my daughters soccer tournament shortly and we're going to have to kill time between two of her games so I suggested stopping at the bike shop.I got voted down by the girls of course but the wife says the money tree is dead anyway :( :)
-
:o What?! Did you forget to water the money tree or what Ford?lol ;D

Is that what they call it these days?Well,to be honest,I suppose I really haven't "watered the old money tree" much since my daughter was born.In my defense though,it's not from lack of trying :( :-X
