where is fox at?  i like seeing the for sale ads...  yea its been pretty slow

I try to check in as often as possible, work has not slowed down as would usually happen for this time of year.  I let My kid take my K5 for  a dune trip to Pismo last September and hasn't returned it yet... :x  I told him he could have it when I "Tip over"   but I want it back till then...
 The guys he rides with are all in their 20's and all took turns on it for the 3 days they were there.
  4 of them said they had to find one for themselves after that, so there is still hope for the next gen.! :-D

 I'm sure  social media has sites active w/K5 stuff as I see links all the time.  I don't have any of that stuff. 
There is a ton of good info here Folks took a lot of time to document and post.  I would hate to lose it. 
I used to go to the oldest posts and work my way up to the present but never got past pg.200 on the KX original thread.
I showed up here just after it went to KXriders. from "Pitbull Racing".   
  Maybe the social Media sites could put a link here and send some "New to the KX" people this direction.
 Does my heart good to see a revival of the  two stroke, unfortunately  the prices on  old bikes and parts is trending upward
 faster than you can take your hat off :-o !!

It is very sad to me.
I learned so much over the last 10 years here and met a bunch of great guys.

What can be done to save it?

 that issue was awesome. I wonder how much money they have in both those bikes!!

sandblaster:
The KX500 if you wanted it built for you would run about 25K to duplicate.
Maybe a bit more depending on current roller prices.

The KtX500e would cost you 30k just in parts, no labor.
