ya they did! to bad jones wont be able to run that beutiful machine next year:( he will probably be on a yfz.........or a conversion crf:confused:

[Sandsjbyz22]

You mean walsh? He can still run it in the open pro-am at nationals. Jones was on a yzf (anybody else notice the sparks stickers) and a crf conversion is not production legal.

[BigAl]

I was lookin real hard at Jones' stickers, trying to see who he is riding for thi year.

That ain't a Pro-trax front end.

I heard a rumor that he was getting support from Yamaha of Troy, anybody know any details?

I just flipped through to see the pics (which by the Harlen are awesome) and I gots to say that John Natalie's woman is dam fine looking! If she was with me I would have a hard time focusing on racing,lol!:eek2:

Feel free Harlen to show more action shots.....and uh, what not!:D

[NTPRacing#19]

mike walshs ktm is not a 520, its got some serious motor work done to it. its a 540 and they were going to put a 580 in for the race but they decided 540 was enough sac and yes it was enough sac. that will be his PRO OPEN quad for this season and the Pro Production quad will be a YFZ. i cant wait to go down someday and gawk at them bikes.

[WalshKFX]

ntp- u sure its a 540 because i called mike thurs before he left and he said its a actually a 510 or 520. i dont think he did any motor work because it is so damn fast. im goin down saturday to grab my frame, subframe, a-arms, and some other stuff. i might be getting my motor too. i cant wait to see the ktm with the orange fullbore.:cool:

[NTPRacing#19]

im pretty sure its a 540, llast when i chatted with nate thats what nate dogg told me

[WalshKFX]

that would be pretty sweet if it was a 540. im goin to see mike tomorrow and ill find out for sure.

[gibson400ex]

tony if you get that sparks motor tell me on aim cuz thats a sick motor!:eek2: and you getting your a-arms and singarm and maybe motor tommarow and frame? and you might get the motor....also when are your pep's coming in? also tell me on aim how much it is going to cost you on the a-arms,swingarm,and the pep's
