OK gang...as many of you know, I have had ole' KreX on the sales block for the two months or so. The original plan was to pick up a 2000 or newer KX5. Somewhere along the way however I started reading about the only other true big bore, the CR500. I did lots and lots of homework, and deduced that both bikes have their strengths and weaknesses. I took into consideration that I was going to be spending more time either singletracking or vet-tracking than I would be desert blitzing. So, when a good deal came up on a '98 CR500 with lots of goodies, I took it. <insert name calling here> I am still a huge fan of the KX500, and LOVE all the things it does better than any other bike. That said, I really, really like the way the CR500 handles. In a perfect work, I would have kept KreX as my exclusive dune bike, but money just isn't that plentiful, so I had to choose. I plan to lurk here, because this is still one of my favorite sites on the web, and occasionally there is still something I can offer. Sorry I left the fold (for now) but maybe we can still ride together if the opportunity ever arises?
