nope, but few of my friends are trying to get me into it

 

I think im going to shoot for one in september. Watched some old youtube videos and im confident i could do well.

 

Yamaha stepping into the 2 stroke enduro world

https://www.mcnews.com.au/2020-yamaha-yz250x-two-stroke-enduro-from-yamaha/

 

I been highly debating getting a 250 to build into a woods bike to race hare scrambles. Still don't have the confidence on dirt with two wheels yet

 

I really want to ride a 300xcw to see if i enjoy it. If i did thats what id go for woods and retire the 450 to mx only. Pretty confident with my woods riding skills after my trip earlier this year.

 

going tpi or no?

 

Id like to but i wont be buying one for quite some time if i do

 

I would love to try a 350 exc-f and compare it to my 351 klx

 

I’ll just leave this here :

Not your typical post, but some of us ride. So here it goes.
Rekluse Core EXP. Fits 2002-2008 CRF 450R. $450. (MSRP $900) like new.
Free shipping to continental US.

Only a few hours on the clutch. Comes with everything you need. I bought the Honda with hopes of making it a good single trails bike, but really missed having a with gear. Sold it after a few weeks of owning it.

I pulled the clutch before selling and forgot that I had it. It’s been bagged and sealed in a light ATF bath for a few years.

I’ll post to eBay in a week or so. Figured I’d give TW a shot.

 

Finally got around to shaving my seat concepts foam down. The edges have been keeping me from standing comfortably for the last few years so i finally shaved off the squared edge front to back. So much easier to stand and still just as comfy sitting

 

new brake tip

 

Anyone looking for handguards? I have a set of cycra ultra probend crm ($170 new). I just put brand new plastics and hardware on today and new right hand bar. Left hand bar has minor usage. The CRM mount is stronger than the standard bar clamp. 1-1/8 bars.

This is the set: https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/cycra-ultra-probend-crm-complete-racer-pack-1-1-8"-bars-p

Looking for $120 shipped obo

 

Also since i havent shared this in here yet

 

How do you like the orange juice?

 

LOVE it. coming off the YZ it is so much better in the offroad stuff. its like riding on a pillow and the 2 stroke really does have a "lightness" to it from less engine rotating mass. it lugs incredibly well, the bike is light, and i find myself purposely choosing difficult lines to see what i can get through. i enjoy the PDS rear suspension as well, no more linkage to get hung up on but i do notice it buck a little on certain things, that said i havent touched any of the suspension adjustments.

 

Sounds like a little tweaking on the rebound in the shock will solve all of that. Always nice when a new purchase pans out really good

 

just put in for days off to attend the Touratech DirtDaze ADV Rally 2020 if anyone here wants to meet up in New Hampshire

 

Looks fun. Long way out, but I'm interested.
