You just racing in Kal or you gonna race it in Perth too ? Nationals are at Wanneroo track on the 21st June. You guys race enduro too ? State round in Kal on 28th June.

So I take it the MX track ride went well except for the '' Mothers knuckles drag on the ground Syndrome.''

ie stretched arms.

gregrobo · Post by **gregrobo** » June 15th, 2009, 6:16 am

yeah there is no substitute for horsepower got to love youth on 125s

CR500R7 · Post by **CR500R7** » June 15th, 2009, 6:26 am

Shit I just realised I have never ridden a 125.

Or a 250F or a 450F for that matter.

Sorry didnt see you replied.So you were at the club day they had for newcomers hey ? Yeah I made it to the enduro on the weekend,they had some awesome trails out there but that fucking shitty salty mud and red dust stains the bike pretty bad !

gregrobo · Post by **gregrobo** » July 1st, 2009, 3:08 am

yeah went to esperance last weekend went thru widgie but didnt stop in its about time they marked somewhere else those tracks are flogged, red dust mate thats magic for the lungs, did you ride your 500 or something else
motorcross in noresman in 2 weeks see how i go

juddy · Post by **juddy** » July 2nd, 2009, 3:05 am

Was pretty much all new trails apart from the last couple of K's where we come back into the control. Nah fuck riding the 500 in enduro's. Have a KTM 300 for that. 500 might be ok for the Indy 500 though....

gregrobo · Post by **gregrobo** » July 2nd, 2009, 3:20 am

ktm now im really doubting you cread

juddy · Post by **juddy** » July 2nd, 2009, 4:45 am

Each to their own.....Im a KTM man but have 2 Honda's. KTM have enough world enduro,Australian Enduro, and GNCC championships (and 1st,2nd at Finke this year) to speak for themselves.... So there is not much of an argument there !!

gregrobo · Post by **gregrobo** » July 3rd, 2009, 8:05 am

nah just kidding man i loved those 380s rode a mates then planned on buying one then they canned them

juddy · Post by **juddy** » July 5th, 2009, 5:31 am

yeah the 380's are sick.I know I'll probably rock the boat but my opinion is they are a fast as a CR 500.

got the graphics on on the weekend

CR500R7 · Post by **CR500R7** » September 21st, 2009, 10:36 pm

WOW!

That looks great, I also see you have what looks like a gen2 on the bench getting the CUT and SHUT.
How many bikes have you converted now.

After spending some time on your gen4, what do you think of the handling and have you encountered any problems with it.

What did you do for a rear pipe mount?

gregrobo · Post by **gregrobo** » September 22nd, 2009, 3:20 am

johns will be our 3rd 01 cr 02 cr and my crf
i havnt got a rear exhaust mount yet but i put a second one on the muffler so im waiting to see what happens if the pipe cracks
my crf handles really well im looking at sending the forks and shock to terry hays at shock treatment for a rebuild/service and race tech treatment. the cr 250 is a much easier conversion
