Post by: Micahdogg on February 16, 2011, 07:12:16 AM: Thanks all. It's a 2011 KTM 250SX. I liked the stock graphics, but the rear fender looked too plain. I really wanted to include a shout out with the TSM logo in there.

As for the price, it's all in what you want. I've never been able to justify spending more than $2500 on a bike, but I'm at the point where something brand new and unmolested is suddenly worth more to me than it used to be. When I saw that KTM redesigned the SX for 2011, it was a now-or-never kinda deal.

Cool bike.As for the truck bike relationship-it's irrelevant.
Way back when one of the guys I raced with laughed one day when I pulled in to the pits.Thinking there was something hanging off the bike or something I said "what's the matter?"
He says,nothing,I just always get a kick out of you showing up with a $6000 bike on a $600 truck ;D
Prioritize man,prioritize.

Btw,he was wrong.The bike cost me $6800,the truck $500 :D

Post by: Micahdogg on February 16, 2011, 08:05:05 AM: Nice! I'm getting there.

My truck cost $26,000. Only problem, it cost that back in 1999 when I got it brand new. Now, going on 12 years later it's probably worth less than the bike. I don't turn stuff over very quickly and will probably have this bike for another 7 years or so.

Post by: SachsGS on February 16, 2011, 08:27:37 AM: I've bought many new bikes over the years and never regretted it.

My newer Ford F150 on the other hand.......the heater core has started to leak - shop time 8+ hours(the dash has to come out!).Lately I've been thinking that it might be more satisfying just to burn the money in a horse bucket then to waste it on a new vehicle. :-[

P.S.I've seen the new 2T Katooms at the local dealership,they are the future not the 4Ts.

There is nothing wrong with your toys costing more then your car/truck.
Thats the way it should be. ;D
My bike cost more then my landcruiser.

I have to grin every time i go fishing.
Parked in the trailer park at the warf is a hole row of shitty old Landcruisers/Patrols worth about 3-5k each.
Connected to the back of each is a boat worth between 70-120k.
My tow vehicle- 5k, My boat-70k.

Priority's mate, Priority's. ;D

Exactly!

Way back in 89, when ADB tested my 320, GE was so taken by my $400 Toyota Crown hacker, towing , what was a fairly rare and expensive dirt bike, that he got me to sit on the cars roof, with the 320 in the foreground, with a caption along the lines of priorities. I think that was the lead pic for the test.

It's always been that way for me, 4 wheels is just transport - two wheels is a major part of my life.
