Where’s all the moto dudes at?

Hey I laid out that course! Hope you had a good time.
Course B, was a good course kinda wish I had my bike for it though but made the best and had a good time on the ktm. Didn’t get to run course A as my stator died about 100yards from the bomb.
 
Since the 450 is down for repairs decided to get some seat time in on the 70. Rode from cal city to randsburg and back , it was a good 60th miles.

Picked up a 4zinger just recently, plans are to clean up the plastics, recover the seat, and install new factory stickers. Later I’ll go through the motor, just need to source parts for that. But she runs really well 🤘

I acquired a pw 50 for my third birthday and raced just about every weekend in the summer until I wadded one up really good when I was 18. now 25, I thought it was a good time to come out of retirement. I found a 1993 kdx 200 I wanna race prep and bring back to life and see if i can put another points championship plaque on the wall. I'll build a thread when i get to working on this old dog

I have a 1991 kdx200 and I freaking love that bike. Easily my favorite bike I've ever owned, and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. Could use a bit more juice, but plenty for what I use it for (technical forest riding). If you're going to be using it in the desert then you'll want to upgrade the suspension from a kx125. These forks are noodles and the shock doesn't have much bottoming resistance.

Sadly it won’t see any desert time. I’ll do something with the suspension as it’s way to soft for me but it corners so well. I’m a New England guy so tight techy woods and soft black loam dirt is what I have. I’ll do some hair scrambles and some j-day off-road races on the bike
The bike is what kdx lovers call smooth power. I think I’ll try and find another jug and port and polish it with a wisco piston. Fmf pipe and silencer and modify the air box. I also like the idea of a east going seat time stallion. I guess we will just see how the cards unfold

Been doing a little riding now I have a kid but he is outgrown the pit bike and seeing if anyone is selling a big wheel 85cc or CRF150?

I went 85 because my boy is like me. Too skinny. The weight of the 150 was just too much. Just something to take into consideration

How much does the 150 weight? A 250F is too big for him but the small wheel 85cc is too small. We would like one with a blown motor to make it electric.

His 85 (Now his sisters) is about 145lbs. The 150 was about 185lbs... But the weight also feels different on the bike. 4 Strokes always feel top heavy to me where a 2 stroke feels more bottom heavy. If that makes any sense to you.
 
With three boys I have been through so many little bikes it's ridiculous. PW50, CRF50, KTM50, PW80, KX65, KX85, KX100, TTR125, CRF150R, TTR230 and a YZ125. Four stroke trail bikes like TTR and CRF-X are great for timid kids who ride trails and don't want to jump but are heavy. The CRF150R is high strung and fun to race but overheat when trail riding and are always hard to start. Little kids who want to push it always benefit from a 2 stroke as they are light weight and have have better geometry and suspension. The power band is useful but optional to use on 85s, not sure my middle son has ever used his. Mixing oil gets annoying and fouling plugs happen at random times but isn't all that bad.

For my short timid wife I bought a blown up big wheel 85 and put an XR100 motor in it. It is slow enough to not scare her, climbs any hill we make her, and soaks up all the whoops and washouts she can't avoid. It's the first bike I grab when running around camp and really fills a huge gap in the market.
 
Snow bikes are tough I always wanted to try it
Timber sleds* I got you bud, not gonna let you sound silly 😉🤙 If/when you ride one, don't fall lol they're worse then getting a sled unburied 😂

Alright everybody, what's rule #1 when it comes to riding in powder?! DON'T. FALL. IN. THE. POWDER. 😂😂😂
 
I don’t know that I can call myself a moto dude, but i sure do love this fat tire bike!
