Destry Abbott pulling the K5 out?
« on: October 16, 2013, 08:16:12 AM »
From his facebook page "Well, you guys asked for it! Pulled my championship KX500 out of storage and getting some premix for her today (she hasn't been started in 7-years). We have some things in the works and it's going to be awesome! Stay tuned "

Doesn't say why just yet. Could it have something to do with the AMA hall of fame/DH?
The 2-smoke runs deep in this one...

I've been throwing Destry shouts of encouragment through facebook about this for a long while now......I'm sure he has been itching to ride the beast.  Should be interesting to see the video footage. :-D :-D
I once heard my buddy Bill ask Danny Hamel after a race....

Or, they are pulling it out for Oscar to wash and wax  :-o
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

I think he is just gonna blow the cobb webs off and go do a video/photo shoot............Every since Team Green's off road program got pulled, he has been a bit more vocal about how much he liked the K5.
