got my new 01 out today, vid
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:19:34 PM »
me and my buddy decided to go and battle it out today on are 01 cr's. i just got the suspension dialed in and decided to put it to the test today at my local track. now if you all dont know i do race 450's and i save my 2t for the woods, it was great today i was passing people, trippled everything and even my coach, Jeff Pestana, was there and told me, "dang dude your killing it on the smoker" had a blast, im the second half with white plates no numbers. we tryed to get some sound in but it got drowned out by the thumpers, sorry. all i can say is i soon will be full time 2t, might not be this year but soon.

Great video!

You look like you were having fun.

I'm a bit jealous because it snowing yet again out East, with temps in the teens!! (14 degrees F) so the ground is solid as a rock.

Spring is on it's way!

frozen tundra back east yah? i guess that the beauty of living cali, along with all the other b.s. we gotta deal with, lol. (environmentalists that is)

i had a blast. that new 01 just ripped. like i said the guy i got it from was a collector. the bike had maybe 2-3 hrs on it total. i just had the suspension re-valved and sprung, i stripped the entire bike down and lubed everything, put in steel clutch plates and a magura. omg that is my first magura and it is worth every penny!!! did a few other things like renthol twin walls, tag 51 rear and a rk gold chain. the motor was so tight it felt brand new. the bike just ripped. i rode it hard yesterday, 4 30 min motos on it and rode my normal practice and it was a blast. this is my 3rd 01 cr 250 so im used to the bike but i had never set one up to moto it. the overall feel of the bike on the track is definetly out dated for a use of words. the ergaomics just cant compair to a newer crf frame and tripple clamps, its really stiff. but its so fun. every corner i was smiling. it has me thinking that i want to go back to the 250 class now and my bike of choice would have to be a SH CR 250. the fact that they are building this bike with the 01 motor has me thinking. its just a 10k + dirt bike just to get started is the only draw back.

Westsiderippa - you can get a new style rolling chassis for a bit less than you think!! There is a place in San Bernadino called the Elsinore Factory. They have really reasonable prices and they are close so shipping will be less...

http://secusure.net/

From what I remember the rolling chassis costs around $4,000. with all the frame mods done, ready to bolt your engine into the frame and go racing.

If you do go this route, please let us know what you find out.

Now this is bad ass!
Formula over substance will ALWAYS sell more.
