Thanks, Todd! Your other photos make my heart ache...I want to go back to Utah so bad!! Great looking stuff...especially all the little purple flowers WoodsChick
Thanks. That's my fave also. Funny thing is, I blew right past that spot and thought to myself "That would be a good photo". Since I was leading the group, I turned around and went back. I was already around the left-hand curve that's in the first pic when I turned around.
Indiana Woods - 610 I wish I had some of those wide open spaces I see in all the great photos, but here in Indiana it's either flat corn fields, or deep woods. Just keep the momentum and pin it! The new Motoz tires are great trench diggers. Photo was taken today by my daughter who shares my addiction. Dad View attachment 4732 Daughter View attachment 4733
Haha, she does seem to gather more of a crowd when we ride than I do for some reason? You would think a middle aged balding guy with a BIG bike could get some respect.
Good looking 610 man, what year?. And is that rear tire a Trailborg? Damn things look like saw blades.
Thanks. It's an 06 model. The rear is a Terra Flex. After riding it, I know why they are called TerrorFlex. Great tire off-road, but terrible in the twisties. It was on the bike when I bought it, but I will never buy one to go back on after riding this one.
I've been contemplating buying a Terra Flex for a long time but was worried it might be too wide for single track. It does look pretty bad assed. Aside from it's poor street performance is it really that good on the trail ?
I've only had the bike for about 2 1/2 months and have had some health issues that have kept me from really putting it through the paces. Haven't had it in any real mud to see how it handles that, but in the softer terrain it does great. On loose gravel it tends to skate around a bit, but that is probably because I refuse to air down. All in all, I prefer the MT21 rear for my style of riding, I've had good wear with them on my other bike and know it's handling characteristics.
TE610IE 2009 SM Conversion I apologise for the cramped shed photo's here, but I thought I would throw a couple up whilst I thought of it. Pictures are taken in my very untidy shed, however you get a bit of an idea. This is my 2009 TE610IE in motard form. I have a full titianium Leo Vince X3 system on order and will post pics when I get it installed. I will post some better pics next time it is out of the shed (and I remember). I swap the wheels out when I go dirt riding and swap back to motard for street work. This site has been really helpful to me and so too have the memebrs. Love the bike.

What are you up to xymotic, camchain replacment? You know you're supposed to wait til the off season to tear your bike down, right. I wish I could have done the same with my broken ankle I'm sitting here nursing, doh.
