little rusty

Post by 2strokeforever »

spent a lot of time beefing up my trails while my bike was down, now its a little harder than i hoped for, guess i better practice lots then
4:50 is to make it harder for people to bail out onto the other trail :lol:

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Man, you get to ride some awesome stuff, I never used to think a 500 would be the perfect bike for that kind of riding, but after using my AF this year I understand it perfectly.

How do you find the time to ride, work on the trails, work on the bike and still have a job?

Each to their own man. I can respect that type of riding....... But no thanks. I will do that kind of shit to get around a gate or two but not all day. F that

You seem good at it though. My googles would be all fogged up....sweating, cussing, out of breath.

its a lot of fun inviting someone who you both know is quite a bit faster than you to go ride some new trail :twisted: theyre expecting a easy day (cause they easily beat me in the HS races) and they get completely flattened, then you go to their open trails and smoke them there cause there completley exhausted from my trails :lol: all on a uncontrolable open class bike :rotfl:

If there was a "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to CR500's", you'd be on report, Mister ! That's gotta qualify as abuse to both your poor clutch, and your body ! Man, we'll do a couple of K's of that shit in a whole days ride, and spend the entire bench racing session whining about it ! You're a hard man 2StF ! !

Looks more like a deer path. I'd be running through there with a chainsaw in each hand fixing all those 3ft high logs going across the trail.

That's awesome. One of my best riding buddies loves to cut trail. I always enjoy riding with him, and I'm always exhausted afterwards. It'd probably take me 30 minutes to get through there as opposed to your 8 (and I'd probably cheat a couple spots). There's no way I could do that for much longer than that, it just quits being fun and becomes work. But any ride that had a section like that would be high on my list.

I'd love to go riding with you in BC sometime, not sure I'll make it out there anytime soon with a bike however...

If you ever are headed Ontario way let me know, you can check out some of our local stuff (no mountains to ride here though)

not for very long, theres a whack of 6" spikes in those logs to stop that from happening :lol:

How do you like that hydraulic clutch? The clutch pull is my second biggest complaint about the CR5.
