Ohhh yeah!! Very nice pics!!

I agree, as long as you have a sloped landing and you hit it, the bikes can handle it.. .

That being said, here's me clearing a table top in my local forest. I dunno how fast I was going, but I hit that one about 4k rpms in 3rd gear:

Only way to stiffen the front without spending money is to tighten the compression screws at the bottom. It won't do much though - especially on the 09. Also you could drain the fork oil and put a heavier oil in - but that's a PITA. If you're doing that you might as well replace the springs too (the proper way to tighten it up).

Awesome! But you need a Dunlop 606 or better for the dirt.

haha no way! 606's suck around here lol ive had the following tires. stock 605, kenda k760,dunlop 606, maxxis IT cross, and now kenda K270. maybe im wierd but the k270 seems to hook up better around here than all of the following except for the maxxis. plus it lasts like 5000+ miles compared to 1000-2000 on the others

haha.. I wasn't going to say anything but since you brought it up - yes, 606's suck. haha

They're OK if you're mostly on-road or on logging/fire roads.. But in anything soft you might as well have slicks. Especially on the front. Scary!

I like the Trakmaster II's for the NE terrain personally.

right on. My ZX7 ninja carries a good 2-3ft jump too. Peg stays start breaking at a 6ft jump though. congrats on the safe day.
