SHOT OF THE WEEK

My buddy BP on his KTM 300XC TBI. This machine has been a game changer for Brian, he’s fit it with mods (Rekluse Core Auto clutch, FMF exhaust, Flexx bars, Enduro Engineering guard, Seat Concepts saddle, Molecule skid plate and a stiffer rear spring) and is killing it on our rides!!

GEAR BAG

Pro Circuit has silencer and spark arrestors for the = 2023 KTM 250/300 machines! They have three options in stock with the R-304 Silencer, the 304 Silencer, and the Type 296 Silencer. The 304 Silencer is recommended for most two-stroke applications and provides a longer body to give riders additional top-end performance while reducing noise output. Great for the desert rider. The R-304 Silencer, on the other hand, was developed as a full-race two-stroke silencer. The smaller design offers optimum performance gains, making it an obvious choice for the serious racer. For those planning on using your bike in a noise-sensitive environment, the Type 296 is the perfect choice for you. It is a quiet spark arrestor that is U.S. Forest Service approved and will reduce your bike’s noise level at or near 96dB on most models.

WOLF: BACK IN THE DAY

I went digging for some back in the day shots and found this one, albeit a bit soft, but has me (#3), brother Mike (#22) and Dick Burleson (#4) jostling for position. We were testing 250 Enduro bikes in Texas, a venue Karel Kramer setup and was always one of the highlights of the year. I was riding a stock RMX 250, Mike had a modified version and DB was on a HQV 250. The year- 1992.
