sic dude, the bike sounds wicked in the older vid, what was its deal when it was running crappy?

bigjay, the rear fender is just a crf450 fender that i fabed onto the stock subframe. yea i love the way my bike sounds with the custom shorty silencer i made for it. the place i ride at is a state park and requires a spark arrestor so thats why it sounds different in the second video. the reason it was running bad was one of the carb vent lines melted against the pipe, iam not sure why it made it run bad but when i put a new line on it ran perfect.

Very nice bikes, get a picture of yourself in there.

A pro at your age?

Makes me feel bad to still be a amatuer at 43 but I think Nascars Dick Trickle did not go pro until he was 47 so mabey I still have a shot at the # 1 AMA plate for a few years ?
