    This is the way. I’ve even ran it with just a single strap on the cab side. The bike is wedged against the bed and doesn’t budge at all.

    I'm going to have a temp issue with my bed. May just do a board in the slots, build out enough to where the tire doesn't contact the roll up cover body and just leave the tailgate open. Until I get an enclosed trailer that's how I will roll.

    26-32' gooseneck. It's big, but we are moving in a couple years and it would help out.

    I am always surprised on how small my 24' gets when loading up.

    28' vs 24'

    IMG_1539.jpg IMG_5551.jpg

    I know it's only 4', but it's a lot.

    To be honest, that would be perfect. Maybe something smaller would be more appropriate. I mean...how the hell would I get back to some of my favorite spots with something that big?

    Another thing is articulation with a GN trailer vs a conventional.

    That's what is awesome about this site. Lots a good conversation to make one question decisions.

    Very cool, man! Congrats to you guys on the new bikes.

    My daughter's have been begging for bikes this spring. They're great on 4wheelers already but haven't tried out a dirt bike yet.

    Borrowing a couple Chinese bikes from a buddy so they can practice.

    If the riding goes well, we'll probably put a couple CRF125F big wheels under the Christmas tree this year. :D

    That would be a good choice. Get the skill level up with confidence. My kids didn't want any four wheelers unfortunately. They can be so much fun!

    For sure! They can ride for miles right from the house, they can't get enough :D

    One of the 4W is a manual so they already know now to shift. (No clutch of course but they'll pick that up quick)

    My kid is already making laps. No peace and quiet around here. Lmao.

    Probably should go rack a few .308 rounds off to be sure.

    Not yet! :laugh:
    Not sure where they'll end up on height.
    The 11 y/o is 5'
    The almost 9 y/o is 4'8"

    The big wheel will probably be a little big for the 9 y/o but she'll figure it out

    Oh man. I figured they would be 5'10" by now. :rofl:

    My oldest is 5'8" and youngest is 4" shorter. She fits the KLX 230 very well.

    Went and purchased the rest of my riding gear except knee braces.

    Installed new FLO clutch/brake levers.
    IMG_8073.jpg IMG_8074.jpg

    New spark arrestor. Easy installation.

    IMG_8072.jpg

    New hour meter.

    IMG_8076.jpg

    Adjusted all compression/rebound settings.

    All maintenance has been completed and should be ready to ride now.

    I told my kid we can go up on Tuesday or Wednesday. The weather this weekend is pretty bad. Hail/heavy rain and might see some snow in the mountains.

    This will be the first time she has rode outside our property. Should be really fun for her.

    The weather has been terrible here lately as well. Not so much hail or snow, but so much rain.

    Hope you all have a blast. Keep us updated with how it all goes!

    That's what I ride. :anonymous: I started riding at 34 on a Talaria Sting. Decided I wanted to try gas so I traded for the Honda. It's been a few years and I haven't had enough reason yet to get a bigger bike since I'm only 5'8". I get some funny looks but I don't care. I ride slow because I'm not interested in breaking any bones at 37. Maybe I'll move up to a 250 one day. I also miss having an electric bike so I may add and E Ride Pro SS first.

    This thing will climb almost anything in 1st gear.
