new 500AF

[ToomanyKaws]

Last week my buddy who has had a lot of factory KX500's over the years, called.   Chuck Sun had called him.  He used to live down the street from my buddy.   Said he just got a new 500 AF.   Said it went through the gears too quick.  Wanted to know what gearing to try.  Nick told him go to a 15 up front to start with.  Then start dropping the rear a tooth at a time till 1st is just about not usable.   Nick runs 15/43 on his.   My 500 is still stock gearing!!!!!   Chuck told him he didn't think a steel framed KX500 would be too far behind the newer alum bike.      Be interesting to see how he does racing the AF.   Has to be a lot of fun to blow away any 450f in a class out there.

Any T.V coverage for the 2 stroke race??

well its the intermission show during the nationals ,
so its doubtful it will get much actual TV time..
but Bailey as a network commentator ,is a big fan of the 2 stroke race (and the bikes), he has told me that  he would
like to do  a feature on the 2 stroke race.and try and get it at least a little  air time.


last year was great with richie owens and albee battling for awhile..!!!!
