Ignore the brand on this dudes radiator shrouds and appriciate the terrain that he's ridding it through.....I liked it. This is for everyone who says "500 2 strokes are worthless, old shit that ain't for technical stuff"!! :D

the more bikes i ride the more i realize how much better my 500 is for the hairy stuff

no gloves=less armpump/claw hand
man hands= no blisters :lol:

other weird things i do:
i dont run a killswitch
no throttle freeplay, not even a mm
excessively loose chain
real lean on the pilot
real low idle
i dont care how dented my pipe is as long as smoke comes out the back
7-9 wraps of safety wire (and glue) on the clutch grip

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
