I'm gonna break out my '80 YZ465 and remind myself just how terrifying a big bore smoker is.And I'm looking for just the right CR500 for a dual sporter.I actually considered selling the CRF450 yesterday and finding a KTM 380 after watching Red Bull's Last Man Standing on Speed.Nah not gonna happen but I want a 380 just for fun in the woods.

I had a street-legal and licensed NS250R-SP. It was a hoot. Sold it to a guy down in California.

I didn't believe it either, but a friend who used to have a 380 claims the 300 is better everywhere except top end, and even that is close?

I wish all my other bikes were as easy to work on as my KX. Hell, to change a plug on my CRF I got to take off the seat, and the tank just to get to the damned thing.

I do too on my CR, but changing the piston took a whole 2 hours...very easy. Plus it cost a whopping $140. I'm not sure I'll jump the four stroke off road band wagon yet.

I came very close to buying an RGV250, but too little funds. What cool little bikes those were.
Bought an RC30 and needed to pay for it. Ended up selling the RC30 because I couldn't justify having that much money tied up in a vehicle that would depreciate by thousands of dollars with a couple of rock chips (it was museum quality) and didn't have the money for either extra plastic or 17" rims. But I can say I've owned and ridden an RC30, which makes me happy.
I went through a rare Honda phase and also had an NC30 and an NC35. This was all before a serious back injury and at a time when my income was significantly higher than it is now. At the time I almost bought a street legal and licensed under its own VIN Aprilia RS250 that had been kitted to 318cc. It was a rocket but I decided against it in the end. I love bikes like that and someday, maybe, I'll be able to dabble again.

jay, i don't moto like i use to. the last time i was at LTM was 3 years ago. i mostly race at motosports park in byron ill. only 85 miles. only 1 1/2 hours to get there. i have never ben to Salem but i believe a lady named Nadean dose the scoring.
had a bad crash last April when i grabbed to much throttle and skied the bike off a jump. let go of it 15 to 20 feet in the air. cant be leave i walked away from that one. the body was sore for like 3 weeks. when your 50 you just don't bounce back like when i was younger.
i only raced 3 times last year. but this year i plan on doing more racing.
what part of Oklahoma are you from? me, the n/w suburbs of chicago.
one track i have always wanted to go to was "cooperland" in stillwater O.K.
