Title: The old kx does the job!
Post by: G-HOPPER on June 04, 2003, 06:34:13 PM

This is my new dust collector I won last weekend in the 500 beg. class. I've raced three races with this bike and havent finished lower than 6th. Each time I had the oldest bike on the line. 500's kick a$$. My first race I hole shot with a worn rear tire and a new yz450 on one side and a cr450 on the other side of me. :lol: That was in the vet beg. class. I did get passed by two yz450's late in the race to finish third  :(  but hay, thats why I race in the beg class. Next weekend I'll be racing in the vet novice class. we'll see how the old KX and me  :roll:  do. Hope I dont get last. :)  (http://images.fotopic.net/?id=588233&outx=600&oq=0)

Awesome...and congrats!  :D What were you running, and enduro or MX or what? By the way, that graphics kit looks great. I have to tell you though, you don't know old until you ride my '87...and it can still roost the new thumpers pretty good too. Bwahahahaha!  :lol:

Glad to hear you are doing well on the mighty KX500.  I have a 1994 KX500 that I race motocross every weekend here in western NY.  I race Senior B, +25B, Open Am, or the Vintage (5 years and older) classes. I never feel I am at a disadvantage being on an older bike.  It is kinda nice going down to the line KNOWING that I will get the holeshot...

I have a 2001 Yamaha 426 (for sale), but I like the 500 better! My 250/450 friends think I am crazy though...
