Right On Brit! Let me know if you have any questions about it and I'll be happy to help. I guarantee you'll be all smiles when you're on the track.

Nice! That track looks fun if it's the same one I have seen. Have fun and good luck.

Yep that's it. We road from Slash X and had a beer while we were watching guys ride around on it.

awesome you will be hooked!! That track is cool and the fact that you can ride there everyday year round rocks too!! One thing is that track has ALOT of grip/rubber down compared to other tracks so you can be more aggresive with your riding style vs. other tracks.

3.Add weed
4. Add pills
5.Add N2O hits
6. Ride

Get ready to spend some $$$ on supermoto stuff, if your willing to try it you will most likely get hooked - most do!!!!

britincali · Post by **britincali** » October 18th, 2008, 1:10 pm

I aint got none to spend so that aint an issue

britincali · Post by **britincali** » October 20th, 2008, 2:35 pm

Absolutly fukin bitchin time!!!!!!!!

Im sore as hell and am feeling tendons I never knew I had, I did 20-30 laps in 3 different sessions and had a blast, every time I went out I felt more confident and got her further towards the black stuff.

I dint hit the dirt just stayed on the track, I din't eat shit once even though I had a few really close calls.

Rode a KTM450 and a KTM 560, both were real nice and really confidence inspiring, I did feel more comfortable on the 560 even though it din't have a slipper clutch like the 450.

I think im hooked

This isn't what I've needed to hear, I've wanted to try supermoto for awhile now but don't want to be hooked...

Going to buy a set of 17's for the 500 now?

...all things supermoto!

Like we spoke about last night, you need a 3.5" x 17" front and a 5.5" x 17" rear. The latter might cause you some challenges on chain alignment without a sprocket spacer. I found out the Husky rear stock rim is only 4.25" and the smallest Maxxis slick wants a 4.5" rim.

You'd be wise to get axle sliders, hand guards, oil and gas catch tank etc....
