I would have laid him out and told the pimple-faced **** to respect his damn elders next time-of course,I may be crabbier than some.  " title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley">

me too, cant stand people who cant accept responsibility when theyre in the wrong.
glad ya came out relitavely unscathed metalmike, you should get the tyre mark on ya back tattooed on there 

I thought about doing that but its not in a good area for a ude to get a tat IMO . It would be a tramp stamp literally .lol

 Hey now atleast the XR's were reliable . Not that I would own one but they are about the only 4 strokes that are worth a crap .

Technical / FMF vs. Pro Circuit (2 stroke pipes)

« on: May 04, 2012, 01:52:56 PM »

 i've always been a fan of both and have owned both . I noticed a large low to mid improvement over stock on my 98 kx250 going with an fmf knarly pipe .  My 03 rm125 has a pc works pipe and that seems to have pretty decent low end for a bike thats not supposed to have any .  A lot of the guys on 2 strokes at the hs/ftr races use the knarly .

 Well went last night had 3 good rides and no #143 (the kid) . He didnt show up this week .  " title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley">

I was one of the fastest guys on the track within my practice class 125/250f beg/c/b . I've been riding just about everyday at a private track( sugar sand) 2 blocks from my house and its paying off bigtime . I actually like the sugar sand better than clay as crazy as that sounds and I'm way faster on a sand track for some reason .  it feels good to get most of my endurance back after having none for so long

Technical / 2 stroke oil advice needed

I've kept it simple throughout the years , ran Pro-Honda hp2 syn in all my bikes for the  10+years  . i've never been told you cant switch back once you got to synthetic but as long as you stick with a good brand and mixture ratio your doing the right thing for  your bike In my opinion

5 lap dash, last place pays the bill at the Cracker Barrel at the Lakeland exit off I-4.

lol 5 is about all I'm good for . If you change cracker barrel to olive garden in ocala i'm down .  I'm planning a trip to go to High point in Ga  with a couple of bud's that want to buy some orange bikes within the next month or so . When are you coming to FL?

this guy just about gets all the way over the 3rd hump on a 125 @ :45

That guy is letting off the gas way to much , the 2nd lap around looked like he cleared a little bit better . Last time I was there a kid was killing that jump on an 85 . was pretty impresive to say the least. I'm not gonna lie the shadiest part of launching that 88 off that jump was slowing down for the turn on the other side .  Dam man I feel like loading the bike up and going to Ocala now .

Boils down to personal opinion then really.  No doubt you can huck the water tower, at least on the left side on an 89, but isn't it more fun on an 09?  To me it is.  To each his own, I like the ergonomics and stiffer frames, lighter weight of the newer bikes.  the build quality and finish has only improved with time.  Remember the bars these bikes  came with?  Remember the oem plastics and graphics?  I remember nightmares of brand new early 90s bikes looking completely hammered after 2 rides.  These days, you just put numbers on them.  You have pro tapers and all the goodies, especially the KTMs. 

I agree 100%. The bikes have without a doubt improved over the years . I love bikes in general and working a little harder to smoke newer bikes on an old 88 model is what I loved the most . Proving that its rider ability and not having the best bike money can buy in order to go fast . 
my main concern is keeping 2 strokes alive and all the bikes that make their legacy what it is today . Without the mxer's of the past we wouldnt have the new bikes we have out today . Honestly dont feel a huge difference in handling going from my 91 cr125 to my 03 rm125 . Both bikes are flickable and fast .

I've never cleared the water tower from the left side on any bike including the 88 , right side launching into blue sky for me .

there is a gray area in the late 80s early 90s where it isn't old enough for vintage class racing, but it isn't new enough to be worth a shit.  i think super vintage is conventional forks and drum rears.  

Just because a bike isnt up to date dosent mean it isnt worth a shit . My 88 kx250 was one of the most reliable bikes I ever rode and had no problem running with 00+ machines in the woods or at hard rock . Its all in rider ability as to what you can do with an older bike .  They may be a little harder to ride consistantly than modern bikes but if you want the easy way out buy a 4stroke  
 

Keeping the older bikes alive  seems pretty important to me as far as keeping 2 strokes alive in general .

This bike cost me almost nothing other than fresh tires and air filter,a few adjustments and she was a beast . I had a guy out at tanglewood try to take off and leave me down a 2 mile long whoop trail  on a yzf426 and I stayed right next to him the entire way . This bike cleared the water tower jump at hardrock more than a couple times also . I still miss it wish I would kept it as a 2nd bike

and like i said, if you are going to trail ride it, then it's a good bike.

It did just as good on the track as any trail .  you said you knew hardrock pretty well and this bike shredded hard rock and had no problem clearing any of the jumps .  Seems like there might be a grey area between not worth a shit and good trail bike.  just sayin .
