Title: As is tradition...
Post by: Aaron Price on May 20, 2009, 07:08:56 pm
I should never be allowed to get bored since this happened after the last surgery too.

I got another bike.   

Actually this one is for Jenni.  XR200 with a full Baja Designs Dual Sport Kit.  Approx 100 miles of street riding.  Been on El Mirage lakebed once!  Almost mint condition except for the plugged pilot jet the I bugged the previous owner about on a weekly basis as part of why he should sell me the bike. 

I am running out of room.  Megan better clear out some room in her living room to store some bikes.

I assume it's plated? If so now you both need to join me for a DS ride! Also sounds like you need to clear some space by GETTING RID OF SOME BIKES!

Not just plated, but LEGAL.  Right down to the DOT tires.  Even my street bike isn't legal.  All other bikes I own are termed "Aaron Legal" 

Now I have to sell her plated DRZ400.  I also might sell the 78 YZ80 but I hate to do it because it has about 5 hours on it and is almost perfect condition and minus tires and seatcover is all original.  I will never have an old bike that nice again but I need to make room for the 72 Yamaha LT2 Enduro that I snagged after the first surgery which is still sitting at my dad's house. 

I sense an illegal room addition in my future...

You are forever the eclectic collector! That LT2 sounds like a fun project. Dump the 80.

I think you are forgetting that I live in a teeny, tiny apartment these days....barely enough room for my cars and bikes, definitely no room for any of your excess stuff!

I'd be more than happy to take the 80 off of your hands....I'll tell you what, you fix it up and I'll take it from there!

No.  Your to hard on bikes.  Your always tossing them down rocky downhills, trying to take them in places that both the bike and you should not be.  I don't think I could bear the thought of you having the 80.

Sorry Aaron, no XR can be made street legal, legally. The only steet legal dirt bike from honda is the XL.

Don't they technically need to have a steel tank to be street legal?

NO,
My Husky is factory street legal as is JJ's Katoom, both have plastic tanks.

Oh okay, I remembered hearing that somewhere but wasn't sure.
My KLX650 was converted over to a street plate but when it comes down to if it was really legal who knows.

Do tell.  I expect to see CVC cited numerous times.

I think this largely is dependent on the year of the bike, pre-2003 they were dual registering and before that you could register even a two stroke.

I've got a completely street legal XR600...And it doesn't fall under the Aaron legal category.  I even ride it to work occasionally.  I want to see someone try to jack with me about it's legality!

Then please don't look at my "street legal" 450x too closely, it may not even qualify as "Aaron legal"!

Yea but you live in AZ, they allow plated lawnmowers there don't they?

In the great state of Arizona you can make anything street legal.  Rhinos and lifted golf carts are registered as motorcycles somehow.  All you have to do is walk in and show them insurance and they will sell you a plate for about anything you can think of.  And yes I have seen a few plated riding mowers too.  My 600 is actually completely legal though, it has to be, I ride it to work into the "Communist Republic of California".  AKA the state of confusion.

You have something against freedom?  It is nice to ride through a state where people are not wearing helmets, are wearing guns openly and are doing both on a CR250 in the fast lane.   It almost brings a tear to your eye.

Funny you should say that.  I saw a Polaris Ranger at the market today with an AZ plate.

Oh I agree with you guys totally, would probably move out of state, AZ or NV if I could but kinda hard to relocate my business. Besides too far to drive for D37 races and I would miss all of you way too much. Do wish I lived somewhere where there were more important things to worry about than smog testing dual sport bikes.

You can carry a holstered gun in plain view in California.  You just can't have any bullets in it.  That is just wrong!  What's the point?  Thats like buying a porno magazine and opening it up to find those little black boxes over all the areas of interest.  Not that I would ever buy any of those magazines or anything...  Government control, where will it end?
