I was desert racing my first K5 at the ripe age of 15

ThrottleJunky:
Reading your post, You are at the right place!

Welcome to the site.


Motorad, 15 years old, desert racing a 500? Man you had to have some cactus wounds huh?

kwakman:
I had an rm250 and an rf900r at 17 yrs old, with a loan from daddy( no interest mind) but then had misss Kwakman junior 2 mths  after my 19 birthday and another in 2006, so that was that!

Brute:
As I sit here fairly sh*tfaced with the drugs the doc gave me and some apple brandy, I should have switched area's like I thought about before the 'fall'. The bike needs a more open area, and I was in a fairly tight area. Might have been fine after I had ridden for a while, but not right from the start. I have not been used to instant power on tap like that for ten years or so, and it showed. I will probably hit the desert or open dirt roads next time until I get used to it again. May change the throttle as well, but will ride it at least once more first. I have watched some motocross vids and have a pretty good idea of what happened from what I remember and where the bike and I ended up. Sucks! Hurts worse at 57 then it did even ten years ago! d**n, that power is addictive! Have given some thought of putting the KX500 engne into a Ninja 250 frame. Could be fun!

Brute:
Pic after 1 week tomorrow. Getting better every day. Can almost walk normal at a slow pace now!
