  1. Good Luck if you go to Johnnie Walker. Those guys are dicks, Period! I could care less on who you know there and what kind of deal they say your going to get. I went there to buy a Rampage and they would not go below $45,000 for a scaled back (option wise) unit. I went to Painters RV in St George Ut and they cut me a deal on a better unit with WAY MORE options than Johnnie Walker, paid for my taxes and Reg in Nevada. All for the less than wat Johnnie Walker was trying to shove at me. So if you want to save $$$$ then try someplace other than Johnnie Walker. Just me .02
  2. We still want to come. I just found out that Ashley's school is asking for next year's tuition deposit. If we have to pay this month then I have to say no we cant make it. If not then it's on....
  3. Next time try one of your friends that have a pole. Maybe he knows. I've got a better place than poles & holders.. It must be that I live in North town..... People from North town couldnt possibly know about such things.
  4. Do you understand the maintence schedule and checking of the valves on a KTM or Honda?? Both are pretty much the same. But they are not even close in the time it takes to do them. I can do mine with the tank and shrouds on the bike. I can do mine in about 20-30mins. Can you say that about the honda? I'm not the fasest by any means nor am I the Best. I just know that you and I are talking about 2 totally different things. No worries bro. Both bikes are awesome!
  5. Ok, I've driven go carts, shifty carts, and I own 3 KTM's. I was told that a first-timer that buys a rail should not get anything close to 500HP. I was told that I should stick to low hp because I'll get into big trouble with the HP. I have a good head on my shoulders. I always (try) ride my bike within my ability. I have the money to spend $50K on a nice used rail or a new one but I'm actually putting some merit to what my friend is saying to me. Is he correct, somewhat correct? He is really over-cautious. Thanks Chop.
  6. I've shipped many bikes. It will only cost probbly $300 Go to http://motorcycleshippers.com/ They are top notch.
  7. Get the Rampage! It's got plenty of room in the back for all of your Hoodies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Get the Raptor! We are going back in 3 weeks!!!! Don't forget the paddles! Call me if you need help. PB.
  9. You've never ran a diesel with a programmer on it have you? MAN they really come alive! If you can put a programmer on a LB7.......WOW look out. I have the LBZ and let me tell you, I have fun beating a 5.0 mustang and have the mustang guy get pissed because he just got his AZZ whiped by a 8000lb truck.
  10. I have an 02 Dura/Ally. I have been runnng the Edge for the last 3 yrs. I've never had a problem with the dealership. I ALWAYS take out the programer before I go to the dealership! That way they never can tell if you have a programmer in the truck. As far as the Pyro, that's not going to void anything. Its not going to do any damage to the vehicle as long as it's installed right. I did the HOOT method and not a problem. My truck has all of the injectors replaced under warranty. They didnt even blink when they say the pyro. Also you must show some restraint when using the programmer. If your foot is in the firewall all the time your going to Limp the tranny and cause engine damage. I pull a 38.5 Rampage Hauler without any problems with the programmer.
  11. Hey all, I'm new to this fourm. I'm new to rails but not the desert or dunes. I've wanted a rail for the last 10yrs but never pulled the trigger (yet). I've really never ridden in a rial but always wanted to. So now that I'm going to get one my question is, what is best for a neophyte? I have so many questions I dont know where to start. 1. Frame- what is the best to work around on if you have to do any engine/tranny work? 2. Engine- I like the cost factors with a VW or smaller engine but love the power a V-8 makes but not the cost? Which is the best? 3. Suspension- there are so many I just dont know. (I'm not sure if I like to jump) 4- Due to cost's I'd like to keep the rail price below $25K (to start with until I either like it or not). 5- anything else you want to add will help. Thanks Chop.
  12. On a MX track only! Then I agree. Listen man, I've owned an 2004 Honda 450 for about 2 months. She was probbly the best balanced bike I ever sat on. BUT it was not the best bike I ever owned. My KTM 450XC is the best bike I've ever ridden. Hands down a better bike than my old Honda. I dont ride MX tracks so there's no reason to own a Honda.
  13. Ktm's are green stickered (4stk) and most of the 2stk are green stickered (except the sx model). The bikes are jetted real lean so they can pass the California carb restrictions. Like any good bike owner you will jet to your riding areas.
  14. Dude you are way wrong. Parts cost just the same as a JAP bike. The BIG DIFFERENCE is, KTM parts dont break (like a jap bike) they wear out. As far as working on a KTM. I'd rather do that than on any other bike out there. As any of your friends who bought HONDA. Ask them about their $hitty valves. Why does KTM's come with top knotch parts and ALL Jap bike come with crap. Take a look at a KTM up close on a showroom floor and look at Honda. They are worlds apart in the way their are made and the parts. Tell you what, I'll do my valves in my 4stk in 20min. YOU CAN SAY THAT WITH A JAP BIKE. Sorry to be so heated it's just I get real worked up when ill-informed people make a statement that they cant back up about KTM.
  15. You are so WRONG when it comes to parts! I've owend 4 KTM's over the last 5yrs and I've never had any problems finding parts nor has any of my friends who have KTM's ever had trouble finding parts! I can go into problems with EVERY bike maker they all have them. KTM builds a better bike with better components than any JAP bike......... It's a fact....
  16. It's just Honda playing both sides of the fence. No worries thou, Friends dont let Friends ride Honda.... Ride KTM!!!!!!!
  17. It's going to still be safe for the little ones? I'm not going to let my daughter run crazy buy with the crowds that show up on Prez day and Tday there's no way I'd go.
  18. Good Sam Club offers them. Also there warranty is probbly the best. They also have RV Ins that is second to none. Remember your State Farm, Allstate etc... Ins agency that you have your TH thru will only give you appreacated value of your coach. Otherwise if your coach is 4yrs old and you have an accident guess what, you only will get 38% of it's value. Good Sam will give you full price of value and no depreacation. (yea my spelling sucks).....
  19. Does Dumont get packed like T-day or Prez day? I'm deff going and just wanted to know what to look out for. Thanks.
