What didn't ya like?
I briefly swapped with a guy on a borrowed and beat 2012ish gas gas yesterday. Couldn't feel my feet after about a minute. Holy shit was it buzzy.

Fuck if I know 
I know I wanted my 150 back
Power wise, the bike was pretty soft off the bottom. I prefer a bit more there. He did just change from an RK Tek head to a TSP head because it was to aggressive off the bottom...
Biggest complaint was it felt like you rode really high on the bike, if that makes sense. I dunno if thats just a suspension change or what? But that would need changed before I could really ride the thing.

Weird about that gasgas. My 300 is a pretty haggard '13 and it doesnt buzz all that much.

I'm 6'1" and I wish it was 2" shorter sometimes. They're tall bikes for sure. Is the 150 smaller frame wise?
I'm also used to the counterbalanced bike, and the gas gas has been abused, badly. The loaner did him no favours.

His husaburg 300 sat tall too. So it might just be how he has shit setup.
I always thought 125 an up were all basically the same frame, but I could be wrong. My 150 is noticably shorter than that 300 though. A lot thinner too
He was impressed with the 150. We swapped on some pretty flowy single track. He mentioned that for a bike with zero power, you can get going way to fast....Thought that summed up a 150 about perfect
I still need to get it dialed in after I reflashed the thing. It's not happy at low rpm and will foul plugs. Its getting there though

Finally found time to throw down some miles midweek ~400 or so, 200 in the rain you can see coming here. I got a few runs in through the fun techy section before drops started flying.

After fooling around with the carburetor, fuel tank and constantly waiting on parts for two months I finally felt confident enough to take the 600 out of civilization. Except for a bald front tire it felt good.

Snow on a bike is a blast, unless you gotta lot of ruts. Then its not so fun

Another short but successful shakedown run yesterday. Going to mount some new knobbies this weekend then it's game on.

Quick ride to town for an errand, and a stop up on A mountain to chill for a second...

Still nursing a broken left hand (longboarding crash, not m/c related), trying to get out and burn some tires off the SV in front of new rubber day next week. Rode Madera canyon, over to the Mt. Hopkins paved stub, then through the twisties in and around Arivaca, looping back up through the wildlife refuge and back homebound....
Your mom said I couldn't post the pictures.....
