You answered your own questions ;)
Stock arms and stock offset front wheels work well if your on a budget.

Hey, BUCK

This is Fisher from Evansville. Why you selling your bike? You going with a new ride, or you not racing anymore?

Whats up man! Ya I am tryn to get my wife to buy me a 450crf. I have missed last couple of races due to tranny: no second gear. It is a cheap fix but takes while and I have to go to Sheps in St.Louis to work on it, so I will be at the MS races after the Ironman.

Good to see ya man, you still sandbaggin!:devil:

Not sandbaggin! Trying to get used to the YFZ. It is a lot more aggressive bike. I figured if I am going to move to the next level of racing, I had to be a more aggressive rider.

The YFZ is different, but it is wearing me out. I rode the 400 for years and had it setup just how I liked it, now I switched and I am still trying to get the bike setup to my riding style.

Now that I have the wife out of the picture, I plan to spend a lot more time racing. She never should have made me choose between the bike and her :devil:

See ya at the next mid south after the Ironman.

Do you run ZPS shocks on a XC bike? What is the average amount of sag? Frame-to-ground clearance? I know in MX, we run around 8.5" frame clearance, but we have smaller tires and such.

I wouldn't know, the exhaust was only thing I was getting any action from!

I traded her in on an upgraded model that loves to go racing! :D

Yeah, the blonde is the new girlfriend. Started dating her about a month after me and the wife split up.



BTW how do you get those blondes, you gotta be payin em!


I can tell you what it ain't ...........



I was going to wait for the Honda, but I don't like the kickstart only. When I was racing my KTM, I saw too many Hondas ( and yamahas ) kicking their bikes after the flag went up. I couldn't imagine being an 1hr 30min in a mud covered race,and be stuck in the middle of a hill with people behind me screaming whille I'm trying to kick start my beast. I don't care how easy it is to kick!

A month after.... sure. New yami is cool Shepard has one now also and he loves it. We just found out we haven a baby so might have to ride the lil ol honda a while longer.

Congratulation on the baby. I know they can be exhausting. My son was born the weekend before the Ironman in 2001. I didn't even ride my quad in 2002. They are great though.

Nothing wrong the a Honda. They are much easier to ride in the real tight stuff. ( Mid South races ).

Talk to you later
