Very Funny. Note the "2008 NCAAF" That would be a prediction.

My predicition: TTU will finish top 3 in the BIG XII Football. And this is probably going to be the year to win it if they are ever going to do it. It is now or never. They have a really strong team with 19 returning starters. Should beat A&M, UT, OSU, OU, in the South and then on to Damascus in the North.

We will see. Whatever the outcome the rest of the NCAA must send SOMEBODY to knock off the SEC in the Championship. I'd even cheer for USC to do that.

I'll post picks tomorrow. Rode home today after picking it up in freezing rain/ snow with my motocross gear on. LOL, was I getting funny looks. The only thing that really saved me was the heated grips.

I was lookin' at your photo and the bike is missing the "bash plate" for the pipes under the engine.

Anyone got one for the rookie??

Post by: Old Desert Rat on March 31, 2008, 02:24:12 AM

Yes it is missing the bash plate but there are no mounts on the exhaust for one either. Kinda strange. It does have the offroad can and map, heated grips, bar riser and Renthal motocross bars. I've been looking for an after market skid/bash plate for a week and it seems like the TT is the only solution. TB's from Australia is really expensive at the moment because of the exchange rate.

Don't like the bars so I just ordered Pro Taper Raptor ATV Bars. Lots more farkeling on the horizon.

Good. Do what's best for the Nation and get that tax refund back in circulation.

I just installed Touratech engine bars and Touratech skid plate. Absolutely top-end shit. Worth every penny. Love 'em. And yes, the Germinglish directions suck, so figure it out on your own.

Now, if Touratech would just rip-off Stretch's highway pegs we would be in business.

It would only be fair. I ripped off their skidplate. :mrgreen:

That is GREAT! :lol:

In prep for my up-coming Utah-Colorado trip, I built a set a highway pegs/bar as well. I don't like them as much as yours, but hey, it is only about comfort on the desert superslab. I will be posting all my mods shortly.
