I learned quickly I am no longer 16 years old, I'm about 1/4 speed through my old woods trails and I still have every inch/corner/rock memorized. 40's going to hurt next year. On the plus side, I've never experienced new full knob tires, only bald knob tires, because poor teenager. Wow does that make a difference. I could tractor in first just about anywhere I pleased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I experienced that recently when I hit a rock garden that I use to fly through on my mountain bike 15 years ago. This time I was AAARGH. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo3 Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 And we're done! Got tired of ridiculous prices on Facebook and went and picked up a klx140rf for the wifey. I don't think she smiled that much on our wedding day...😵💫 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I miss having a true dual sport in the garage, may have to remedy that one of these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo3 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 About the worst day ever. Turns out the 300R I bought was stolen. So yeah, it was too good to be true. Got a nice friendly call from the sheriff's office today. Guy apparently ran a scam on 4 dealerships in the area, 12+ bikes in total, fake personal checks for all of them, then sold the dirt bikes cash, private sale. And since dirt bikes don't receive titles in Minnesota, the only way they find them is if they are registered for state trails, which I dutifully did since we would be hitting the trails. Bike hit hot on registration. Have to return the bike to the dealership and I'm out 3700 bucks. The response for restitution from the sheriff was "get in line, guy has 800k plus in judgement against him as it stands already from a false front construction company". That was our whole next summer vacation money/plans. At least the wife and kid will get some trail time but I doubt they will go without me. So hurray for justice, dealer got theirs and I'm broke and pissed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible news... blood boils to hear stuff like this. Hope you end up with some half decent resolution to this at some point. Gonna take time methinks.

Sorry Man, that sucks. I'd be pissed too. I wish I lived near you, you could borrow my KLX230 till you get your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD52 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Oh man, that truly sucks. Is the dealership going to do anything for you?? They made a profit on the sale to you, at a minimum they should refund you that piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy bought the bikes from a dealership (and 5 other dealers in a week period) with fake checks, then sold the bikes private sale. And since MN doesn't title bikes, there's no tracking them unless you register for trail use. Dealer doesn't give a shit, they just want their bike back and I'm left holding the bag. I even changed the oil, swapped out springs, and changed the chain and sprockets. All which I loose to the dealership. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Damnit that is awful, truly a lesson learned in "buyer beware". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real sore deal is since there's no title, our DPS (DMV) won't run the vin to see if it's stolen or has a lien. Same goes for ATV and snowmobiles in MN. That was a real eye opener for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilo3 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 I'm on the list of victims, not sure if that does anything. Guy has a rap sheet going back to the 90's, career felon, but because it's minnesota, he just keeps being let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
