Those water holes camouflage real well with leaves! At least the exhaust tail pipe was still above water. I guess the 4 wheeler was the retrieving vehicle? Great photo's enjoy the new 2S.

Yep, Supermanned for twenty feet. Took a second or two to figure out what happened. Bike just fell out from under me!

Hiked four miles out and rode back double with my neighbor to recover.

I was feeling a little bad for you until I saw the new bike. Congrats!

Not sure how I feel about it yet. Did a few enduros with the thumper last summer. Bike did awesome, but it got me remembering my youth which was spent on two strokes.

Had a nice long love affair with the rfs. But there is only room in my heart for one bike at a time.

Congrats on the 2t, I love my 500 and really want a 300 2t but only have room in my wallet for one bike at a time

I have almost the same picture gallery, years on my old 525 but now have a 2017 KTN 300 XC and I absolutely love it. I quit riding the 525 several years back and had a 450 Husky in between but would get so tired so soon I thought it was time for me to quit. Now I’m riding nearly every weekend and even started doing some select races again. 20 years since I has a 2s and just could not imagine how good the 300XC is. An XC and a little Viagra and you you will think you are a teenager again!

Guy I bought the 2012 from just upgraded to a 2017. I know him well and took the 17 out for a rip. It’s really really good. 

I have some seat time on the bike I just bought. It is a little milder on power delivery. I can’t comment on suspension cause neigther were set up for me. But the 17 seemed harder and maybe a little less planted. All that can be dialed though. I’ve got springs for my weight at the house already. Going to slap those inset the sag and have some fun as soon as I get home!

I know the feeling. Im in love with an '02 KDX. Been having a blast in the woods with it. The bike is a goat on the hills, and Im much quicker in the trees on it. Makes me REALLY want a new 300. But am stuck between the 350 XCF and the 300. Just cant pick one. I really love that thumper power, but I love the scream of a 2s as well.

Great new bike choice, congratulations! Noticed with interest the rebar on your moto jack rack going through the foot pegs instead of the usual clamps...do you go down the road with that set up?

Haha figured someone would pick up on that. Surprised it took so long lol. 

I did that day in a pinch as I had left the t bars on my bumper that morning on the way to the bank. Got a buddy who runs a machine shop making me new ones.
