My New Ride

Postby TonUp » Tue Jul 17, 2012 11:39 am

So we moved to Idaho and since they have world class whitewater I figured I better learn a new sport so I picked up a brand new Lime Liquid Logic REMIX 69 River Runner Kayak. I have been practicing and taking lessons for 5 week's now, I am now running up to Class 3 white water rapids. Pure Adrenaline, like doing a 3rd gear 100mph Stand up Speed Wheelie on my Speed Triple with my eyes closed.

Nice, Tito. I used to do some whitewater kayaking when I lived down in the DC area. Definitely fun!

How does it handle the twisties? Have you done the ton yet?

I still have to put a few more miles on my Wee Strom just turned 55,000 and Janets just turned 95,000 miles. She will probably have a new bike next year plus an ENDURO bike as well. I will keep my old Wee-Strom for a couple more years. I really want the KTM EXC-500 next.

Cheers!
