First bush ride on the KX
« on: May 02, 2013, 10:59:34 AM »
Out riding with a few friends last weekend. First good length ride on the KX500. Had more footage but most of it ended up being useless because it was very dusty. Each time we have rode out at this area we have had one of the bikes break down but thankfully no problems at all this time. Except for one of the other boys taking a bit of a digger over a small log while riding this trail. No harm done though.

Raced a pony express enduro on the KX500 a few weeks back. This video was from the first lap. Pretty awesome to be able to just blow past alot of the big 4 bangers the instant you hit a half decent straight stretch.

Nice to see a K5 given the go  :lol:
I was checking out your other video's.
I love the dirt Kart racing.
Looks like a lot of fun.

Yeh the dirt karts are great. Been racing them since i was old enough to in 93.
I was the only one running a 500 of any sort that day. The 500 was getting a bit hard to hang on to by the end of the day. That might be due to my fitness though  :roll:

The K5 is not known for being gentle on out of shape riders.... I know...  :-D

Enjoyed the videos.  What did you hit in the 2nd video @ 25:50?  Looked like a pucker moment.

hmmmm.....I actually find the 250 to be more of a physically demanding bike to ride...after riding a 500 as my primary bike the last 2 years for track and trail...I find I have to absolutely pound the snot out of the 250 to get any kind of fun and enjoyment out of it...which in return,tires me out much quicker.

There was a small rocked that was wedged hard into the ground. Heaps of guys hit it. One guy got thrown off his bike and they had the ambo out there looking after him for a short time. Thankfully he wasnt seriously injured.
