i would love to SM my bike but it might be too much of a hassle to do it on my bike. honda came out with a 230sm but my 696 is on the top of the list first, i would be nice to be able to get out of town by taking a highway eventually! ![]() i a few months i'll prob start tinkering at the sm track (or was it the go kart track, crap i have to listen to my friend when he talks), he's thinking i'll have a blast on a little honda 150. unfortunately being 5'2" doesn't open a lot of doors on the sm front since i can barely touch the ground on my 200 as it is. if at this point i can have only 1 bike, my first choice would be a DS for the versalility of it. |

I hear ya, I'm lucky, I'm 6'4" I can flat foot anything.
Honestly, don't bother SM'ing your DR, it would be too much money for not enough return, the increased weight of the rims and tires would so it down even more, your buddies 150 (CRF150F I'm assuming?) would run rings around it. If you want a sumo you're better off selling the DR and buying a SuMo bike like a WR250X, CRF230M, KLX250F or even a DRZ400SM. You can lower them pretty easily without sacrificing too much handling. Yeah, eventually I'll have a duallie in the line-up, probably a big one like an XR650L or a DR650L.

I'm assuming you mean for the KTM? A couple reasons.
Dirt riding results in a LOT more spills than track riding, and once I'm done with the KTM I'm going to have a significant chunk of money invested in it and I dont want to beat it up. I'd like a bike I can kind of beat on a little without worrying about it. Plus my plan is to set it up as a adventure dual sport with some soft luggage so I can do some longer distance trips that involve dirt, eventually including a trip to AK. The KTM is not suited to that kind of riding. Plus for the money for KTM parts I can find an old XR and rebuild it. The main reason? My ADD extends to bikes too and I can't seem to be happy with one, or two, bikes! ![]()

I *have* to set alarms for meetings/events because I inevitably forget. I *have* to get bills in the mail because if I don't get that reminder (or at least an e-mail reminder).. I'll forget to pay bills. ![]() But yeah... keeping a small notebook (and actually remembering to use it..), tabbing, and alarms (on my phone) are HUGE helps for me. I may not technically be ADD, but as many issues as I have staying on track from day to day, I might as well be. ![]() Oh yeah, make habits too. Like, things you do every day the same way so you don't forget to do something. For example.. I wear the Army uniform every day.. I put key items in specific pockets so I don't forget anything before I leave the house, and I know when I'm missing something (like my military ID.. wallet.. chapstick.. notebook.. phone.. each goes in a particular pocket, and it's always the same pocket for each item). Ok, yeah, I'm kinda rambling, so I'll shut my face here. ![]()

Archren made another really good point, always put stuff in the same place so you KNOW where it is. Or at least have a better chance of knowing where it is. My husband is big on putting stuff "away" because he's OCD about things being left out. BUT, the OCD doesn't carry over to it being put away somewhere that makes sense. So then neither of us can find it and I want to smack him.
