Slow going on the 500AF!
« on: May 18, 2011, 03:44:43 PM »
No speed here! The guy out in front is the #1 plate in Southern Nevada! He is no joke! I wasn't able to record the more technical areas because I was afraid to take my hands off the handle bars to turn my camera on! He took me through some badass stuff! I was happy to complete his novice loop at any speed!

Can you ride this Sat/Sun? I've got an extra bike or two. Extra helmet/large, gloves, size 12 boots, etc. If you can make it you won't be disappointed!

Thats an extremely nice offer.

d**n thats an awsome offer I'm in ut & can be there in 4hrs, Ha ha. It really is that hard to get someone to ride with you when you ride a 500 though, I guess people dont care to be roosted for hours on end

I love the helmet cam kxpegger, that is just great to see other peoples riding terrain. I need one for around here we have some .... hill climb bentonite, mountain trail road, I can even ride to work on a dirtbike. Ive stoped on the first south exit out of mesquite so I could ride in the winter & it is great to see more of whats down that way

if I only had a pair, I could actually ride this thing

& to the people I like  FYYFF

just goes to show how cool the kx riders group is.
like 81 cr480  i too am in utah and have a few days of vaca in the bank.
but  like 1989 have a couple of worries.
i`m worried the slots would sux me in like a crack addict to a 8 ball.


great folks here.
