Don't sweat it, I don't even know how to do that.
Really nice ride though.

I got the suspension back from Precision Concepts a couple days ago and rode it today...
FARKIN' A!!!
Just like I remember 'em, and nothing gets out of the Arizona Level Nine Pea Gravel like a Five-O. I love it. It will flat smoke my 450X in a sand wash, and when I let off, it doesn't dive.
Oh yea... 1990 was back when a dirtbike came with a seat. It was so comfy, I thought about kickin' off the Gearne's and reaching for the remote.
I'm half tempted to race it.

RACED IT!!! Had a blast racing the old five-o at Glen Helen this weekend. District 37 Big Six GP, "Revo" class. I battled two CR480's for as long as I could, then they walked me. Major fun though!
I paid the price an hour later (jello arms) in my regular moto, but what a great challenge. I'll certainly do it again.

Things got a little hairy at 29 palms!!! (hairy palm joke)
Talk about a place to let the big dog eat! The big lung breathe! A place to send your competition some 500cc ballistic igneous mail!!! FuckinA that was a bitchen day! No 480's walked me today. Nope. No way. I saw some real nice 86-87's at the start, but I had to wave bye bye in the second turn. Nothin'.... and I mean NOTHING gets up and outa the sand like a pinned 500 NOTHING!!!! Ya can't slap this smile off my face with a two by four!!! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
After the Revo race I told the ol' lady there was no way my 450X would ever go that fast in this sand. I was threatening to ride the 500 in my regular moto. Then I came to my senses. What a great day.
