This one even has a KLX in it. Some trails from Sunday's ride. HardTaco leads the way. There was a much better section, but the camera got tilted 45 degrees at some point on that one and it makes my head hurt to watch it, so I didn't include that. Again, YouTube degrades the quality quite a bit. I wish I could do something about that.

EDIT: click the "watch in high quality" link below the vid in youtube and it helps.

 

another good video Brian. The quality isn't that bad. when i went with the irish last week Collie took a pretty good sh***er(again) and i had to pick up his 525. those bike are LITE. i bet his KTMdoesn't weigh much more than my KLX. the power to weight ratio has to be thru the roof. kinda wish i had one.

 

Thanks. I'm still working on the quality. It's not too bad, but I've seen better from the same camera, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

I remember Collin saying he was thinking about getting one last year at the NE ride but he and the other Irish bugged out early on Day 2 and I didn't get a chance to offer him a test ride on the 450. They are a lot of fun, that's for sure. But in that tight stuff, the 450 doesn't buy you too much because there's not a lot of room. But it sure feels good when you pop the throttle in a corner and it slings you right out.

I hope Collie is OK. He took a hard one at the NE ride, too. Of course, I don't have to tell you that, since it was you that got tangled up in it. [&:]

 

i haven't talked to them this week as i was at americade but this one was worse than the pine barrons.he hit so hard thathe snapped the bolt that goes into the handlebar for the bark buster in half.i was out in front aways and still heard him hit theground. I thought it a bit funny but he just couldn't seem to find any humor in it. He was too busy being in a lot of pain. i'll give him some credit though we had a good 20 miles to get to the lunch stop and he toughed it out.

 

Nice, more good vids!

What carb is on Your bike? The "off idle" acceleration seems smoother than my tm34 pumper. Are You running 2nd gear and less than 3k rpm most of the time on that trail?

 

My bike has an FCR 39 on it. It is tuned well, no bog anywhere, pulls strong everywhere. Most of that is 1st gear, I'd say 70/30 1st and and 2nd.

 

Watching the vid again, I think most of that probably is 2nd gear.

 

One more for now. Are you all sick of this stuff yet?
