Lawrence Hacking gives a great review of the TE450.....as well as some great photos....in an enduro test....that I thought was very well written.. he did mention that he didnt keep track of the fuel level too well and ran out just shy of a respectable finish.....still a good write up though I would hazard to guess that ScottyR might have had something to do with this ???
Lawrence Hacking and I went to the Marquette National Enduro last summer with that bike. That is where the pics were taken of the bike. I guess I need to find of copy of the mag as I havent read it yet. Lawrence and I both ran out of fuel that day. It was MY fault. I got the whole miles and kilometers conversion mixed up and we drove past the optional gas stop thinking we could go further. I came to the conclusion that I am a dummy at math. Lawrence made it further than me and pushed his bike 2 miles to the next gas stop and finished the event. I had a nice nap in the woods waiting for the sweepers.
Great...more reading material....stacked up on the coffee table.... Well a least it keeps my mind off of riding...for a bit more. Thanx Troy I'll pick it up tomorrow.
I just received my copy in the mail...it should be on the stand by now I think Lawrence did the "cornergrass" event last year as well...such a cool place....if I can find a link....... http://www.cornergrass.com/
