Well, talked my buddy into getting a dirtbike. After I helped him go through it for a few days, I took him for his first ever dirtbike ride........on his newly aquired, clean 97 CR500 with a fully done Eric Gorr motor, a flywheel weight and 13/47 gearing. I found it for him right here in town, suprisingly. I took him out to a small patch of dunes so he can learn to ride around on some flat dirt roads that surrounded the place. It was a million degrees out by 930 a.m. and he tired pretty quickly, so when we got back to my truck I took his bike out for a spin in the dunes. It was a completely different bike than my 1st over, 14/49 geared, basically stock bike. His power comes on much smoother, while mine comes on like a friggin' light switch. I love my snappy power hit, but his bike was much easier to ride in the dunes. I felt like I didnt have to work so hard while ripping around on his bike. I dont want to put a flywheel weight on my machine, but I might try a 47 on the rear in the near future. Anyways, it was good to get out and ride. It been a couple of months since Ive gone. After I tested his bike in the dunes I got back on mine, so my buddy took some pics of me riding with my piece-o-junk "battle camera". The pics are somewhat terrible, and he couldnt get the timing down on my jump shots ( too long of a shutter delay after you push the button >:( ),
but here are some pics that came out.

what a beautiful site....2 500's in the desert...

El Paso, Texas......thats just a patch of little dunes. The ones I normally ride are much bigger, without being too big, so they dont get boring.

That's great stuff, glad to another Hoon in the making, never can have to many 500 riders these days. And the pics are cool, to bad they are blurry, because if they were clear, some would be nice to frame and hang on your walls.
