Weren't your relatives in Okanogan or near there? Thanksgiving trip? I know a great place about an hour east of there.

Mojo is a sadist. Okanogan in November is nobody's idea of fun.

My buddy has an '07 KX450... it's a nice bike! But, here's what's happened so far... 5 hours in, rear wheel spokes loosened and ruined a day. Probably his fault.

Every 20 hours he has to replace a chain guide, the chain just saws right through them... hopefully they fixed that on the newer ones. I guess it's a common problem.

Last weekend at Naches his front wheel kicked up a rock and split the right side engine cover, even with an aftermarket skid plate with the extra wide tampon-like front wings. No pipe to protect the motor.

His bike is fun, but even he admits that my 500 is way faster off the line..

All in all it's a good bike, It just lacks the grin factor..

they are in colville about 2 hrs from spokane. I really do need to visit, my uncle past away a couple months ago, so its just my aunt and my cousin now.

yeah, the chain guides suck, I'm gonna order a set of TM design works ones soon, those take care of the problem.
um, I don't know about kicking up a rock and breaking a case, sounds more like he landed ON a rock

good times.

I tryed the 4 stroke thing for 8 months on a fully tricked out KTM 560 ported suspension revaled and so on It was a very nice bike but just was not for me i sold it for anouther 2 Stroke.

You be back 4 stokes are nice untill they break but the CR500 much funner bike and more of a head turnner than the every day run of the mill 4 Stroke.

But have fun enjoy you'r new bike.

See you again one of these days back on a 2 stroke.

I said you ride a GIRLS bike, NOT! you ride like a girl.

If you rode like a girl you wouldn't beat anyone on a 4 JOKE.

It's not so much your bike is better, more like your bike has a better accessory, a BETTER rider.

The

est thing about you guys is not how well you ride or how

your bikes are, it is your great sense of HOMOR!

As long as your bike is not a LEMON, it doesn't matter what brand or if it is 2 / 4 stroke and what capacity.
