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?

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

Perhaps they are dusting it off for ME to ride on the 26th.

Or, they are pulling it out for Oscar to wash and wax :-o

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.

all I could think about when he was running the dirt road was a 165 main jet. :roll:
Did he take the rings out of the bike to kick it like that?! Mine doesnt kick that easy WITH a compression release

This is just a teaser........he has a bunch of video footage that is being taken......there will be more

I really do hope he enters a race, and puts the hurt down.. Like I know he can.
Do you realise the shockwave that would send through the industry!?
would be one for the history books, we all would be talking about it 30yrs later...

It would be a complete vindication of what a lot of us have been saying for years...
I hope it happens..
-
I think it would vindicate what hhe was payed for to not say all these years ever since the 80's. The money was in motocross so the bikes were developed to go around a track. With a few Austrian exceptions
-
The little bit that I've been able to chat with him, I still haven't been able to get the full plan from him :?......He keeps telling me of something "BIG" this coming weekend, he has been riding it all week, and he is in California right now.....everyone put your heads together....what races are happening this weekend in California that would be KX500 worthy....I'll keep trying to get info from him. :-D
-
Only thing I can really find is the BAJA 1000 starts tomorrow :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-o :-o :-o
-
AAAHHHHHH BUMMER!!!
Just did some chatting with Dusty Rabbit..........Here's what he said......
"Sorry, I haven't been checking my messages here. We're just doing some video stuff with it tomorrow and that's about it."
Destry
-

-
Spoke with Destry......video will be on youtube on December 2nd.........oh yeah......he also mentioned that he would have raced it at the Hare and Hound I was just at but he was already obligated to race the Endurocross in Vegas......BUT!!!!......he is also trying to decide what event he will race it at next year. :-D

tell him to let me know when his motor needs freshening up

:lol: That would be the best addition to his bike, a flying "M" next to a new ignition of course :wink:

I'd like to hear his first ride report on his ˭M˭ powered machine...

nice!...there's nothing like the sound of a 500 on the pipe tearin off into the distance.
-
Oh man, he says he will race it this coming year, maybe the japs wont follow but i think KTM may have an open ear to bring some big bore back maybe? maybe a 550 in a left over frame?

even better would be if they did one in an EXC model....hmmm, it's nice to dream.

It never hurts to dream haha, i'm sure I am not the only one who has spent millions of imaginary motobucks buying bikes in there head :-D

Here is a good article by my buddy Chilly White......
A few of the facts in this article point to the factory being afraid of a motorcycle designed in 1988 making their newer stuff look bad......hahahaha.

I met chillt white at the kurt casellie memorial ride at glen helen last weekend, he was a real down to earth fun guy to talk to, gave me lots of info on the ktm rally bike and had me thinking for hours after. I've been meaning to throw a write up on the ride, haven't got the time yet though.
