Hello, my name is Shannon Murray. I live in Long Beach, California. About a year ago I fell back in love with dirtbikes after many, many years away. I road raced street bikes for a few years, but mostly I spent year after year wanting another bike, but did not want to take the risk on the street. So now, at the age of 35, I am back on a dirt bike. Not just any bike either....a KX500 baby! I know it's hardly a bike for someone who is practically a beginner, but I respect it, and it treats me pretty good too. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and ask some technical questions from time to time. I sure am glad to have found this site...awesome!!!
