They don't have Bob Evans out here, sucks.

Just run down to the local grocery store.  There's all kinds of stuff in there that says Bob Evans on it.  Worse comes to worse, just rap something in bacon.  Everything is better rapped in bacon.

Nice YZ mullethead, I'm gonna try the flywheel weight on mine.

Thanks Glenn.  The flywheel weight will make your bike more controllable in anything slippery.  And it will make your power spread a lot smoother & longer.  The Gnarly pipe & silencer helped with that too.  I used to run a Fatty pipe with a Shorty silencer.  The thing had a serious bark to it.  Great for the Arenacross stuff I was racing.  I think you'll like the weight.  Keep us updated.

Too cool!  Back in 2000 or 2001 I went to Budds Creek for some February races.  Since we were still under snow here on the mountain where I live.  I ran a 250cc class & a vet class.  In both classes there were full gates.  People from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, PA, Ohio & of course Maryland.  Everyone trying to get a jump on their competition for the coming season.  My one buddy that was with me went to the line with me.  His kid was racing instead of him.  He leaned over & yelled in my ear on the line to look at all the 4 strokes & how I was going to get eaten alive.  3 or 4 2 strokes in each class probably.  It was way cold.  And his remark didn't help my mental state after Jonathan Beasley promised good weather after my 5 hour drive.  It was barely 34 degrees.  I actually holeshot all 4 motos.  Very unlike me.  Although from that day on my holeshots improved tremendously.

Thanks Coop.  Did you notice my nose in the air in the second picture.  I'm worse than an old coonhound.  I love the smell of premix in the morning. 
Can't wait to get back out riding.  As sick as I feel today, I will ride something.  Lost enough snow in the past couple days to drag the YZ out & sling a little mud.  Let's get that back straightened out so we get you out soon.  Otherwise I'll be picking up the KDX & the nephew & taking them riding.

Not much of a picture person so nothing to show for it here.  And it's nothing to look at any way.  I don't even have graphics on it.  I ride a 2005 YZ250 mostly.  FMF Gnarly pipe & Q silencer.  10.5 oz. Steahly flywheel weight.  Fly oversize bars.  Moose handguards & barkbusters.  I run mostly in the woods with it.  An occasional motocross or day at the track with #1 Grandson.  He is a 2 stroke rider also.He is stock accept for a set of Acerbis Handguard/barkbusters on his CR80.  He wants to try hare scrambles this year.

And, if you didn't know, I'm new here.  I live for 2 strokes.  I'd have an RD350 2 stroke street bike if I could.  Unfortunately I have been swayed to the dark side for on road adventures.  I did have a dualsported KTM300 until about September.  Needed some cash in a hurry so it had to go.  I'll replace it though.  My battle cry is "2 strokes & mullets forever".  Hope to ride with some of yuns this season.  See ya  around.
