I got a new toy today. It's a 2003 crf450. Runs good, the seller, fellow Coast Guardsman suggested getting the valves checked. Not a problem. That and a cam chain tensioner and I think I'll be good to go.

Now to start gear shopping.

Woohoo... the more dirt riders, the better.
Get a spark arrestor on that thing, and let's hit the SHNF!

I'm, 100% certain it will be me hurting myself on it, not the bike hurting me. But I get your drift. I'm all about the slow learning curve.

OK, I have my gear now!

I'm thinking next sunday, the 25th, will work for me. Anyone wanna show a dirt noob the ropes? Preferably somewhere less than 1.5 hours away, I'm in the league city area.

I'm swamped with stuff to do this weekend just to be able to ride next weekend. I took two days off this week to install flooring at home and I still have a full plate this weekend.

PLEASE PM me if anyone wants to go for sure on the 25th.

Torque, tons!

Stick with a Japanese tard, HELL NO! U gonna be at MSRH on the 24th? I'll have it out there then.

The SXVs put out WAY more power in stock trim, only the Huskies come close.

Aprilia seems to have the motors worked out too!
