Hi Rick,
Jackie and I are here. You won't see us on your kind of roads, but we'll be around town. We've been canyoneering, hiking, and road bicycling. Have fun!

Forgot to add, we are camped at King's Bottom on Kane Creek Road.

REF: You bought a KTM?

.....I just returned from Moab last night.....camped by sovereign trail system and rode MTBs and motos.

I did......a 2012 350 XCF-W, previous owner tore the bike down, had the frame powder coated orange and put on all new plastics, pretty nice. Had my real initiation that weekend riding with 4 other experienced off roaders, managed a few slow wrecks but the doozy was launching the bike 20 feet in the air trying to go up a rock ledge on fins n things, epic! Luckily the bike landed in the soft sand ditch and I only tweeked my throttle housing, amazing how durable these things are. Bummer we missed each other, camped at the zoo lot, willow springs, not my choice, I had to finally whap on our neighbors RV door at 9 pm to tell them to shut off the generator after it ran for 4 hrs while we cooked and hung out by our fire, they didn't step out once! Crazy.....anyway, great trip all the same.

My dream bike! Excellent choice! Quite hard to find used around here presently......

I'll start another thread with a few pics of my Journey.....

Yes, once I narrowed down my choice to this particular model, several that I found on CL sold quickly, missed out on a 2014 (I think) with 100 miles on it that had been parked in a garage in a vail vacation condo. I was the second caller on it, guy drove up from Denver and snagged it the next morning. I had to go all the way out and back in one day to grand junction, a 5 hr trip one way, to get this one. Happy with it. Had looked at the 350 EXC-F, comes with all the road legal stuff, nice bike, but gearing is more for road vs. off-road. PO had titled this bike, so it was easy to plate with no further inspection, got an extra set of wheels and mounted up dot approved knobies and added a rear brake light switch and I'm set to go! Would be great to do a meet up in the spring with SMB's and bikes, I think I may have a RZR by then for the wife and kid, and that'll require a new bigger trailer, ugh!......Moab anyone?

Unless you live in CA (like me)...a plated XCF-W is much more desirable than an EXC-F.....
