I'd be tempted to replace our two EXCs with them ;)

If you are up this way you are welcome to give it a go.

It is a trials bike, so loads and loads of power on the bottom, and lots of flywheel.
  Not much HP and not fast. Although 5th and 6th gears are pretty high so will easly do 60mph.

I weighed it and it is 75lbs lighter than my old KTM 300 XCW (both about 3/4 tank fuel)

Like night and day.
For super tight, nasty trails, especially with a lot of obstacles, it is fantastic!

I used to have a 450 EXC, and the 300 felt WAY lighter.
I also had a 640E KTM- the 450 felt (and was) way, way lighter.
The 300 felt way lighter than the 450

The difference between the 300 and the OSSA is more than the difference between the 640 and 300.
Huge.

Here is a video sample.

How do you transport that OSSA bike? Can it be hanged on trailer hitch mount and carried behind the van?

Very neat! A comfortable Trials bike! I just got rid of my KLX 450R and am currently contemplating an exc 450 or 500. Another bike has peaked my interest, have any of you hear of Christini? A guy I ride with has one and it's unstoppable and reliable.

I've heard of (and met) Christini and his brand of bikes.

Pretty familiar with their bikes and the few AWD conversions done with their parts. Cool stuff.

Yes,
 I have a motorcycle hitch rack and the OSSA fits on great.
I don't even know it is there.
Nice to have a place to change in also.

I'll take a picture with it on.

Well, I was thinking about a reasonably small/light bike to take down with me on camping trips, so after some searching around I ended up with the '82 Honda CT110:

My blue/orange "limited edition" sticker was in the mail box upon arrival back home from camping this weekend.  Pictures to come.
Thanks,

Good looking stickers!  I am wondering out loud about something... Awhile back you could get samba stickers with your username on them so that when you saw someone driving down the road, you could see that it was a fellow member.  Could we add something like this to the Cavevan stickers?  It would be cool to identify with fellow forum users/helpers.  - Bill

I'll walk out into my garage an scribble your username on your van for you ;)


Actually a pretty cool idea. Motorcyclist and Jeepers have done this too.

The motorcycle I took off to ride around the world on has my name on the side rally racer style :P

Since we make these in house we could probably do runs of user names. 10-20 at a time and then send them out.
