KX500AF/CR500 ride today!
kxpegger:
Mike buys a CR500! I'm on my KX500AF! It was one degree above freezing today. Wasn't to bad except for the hands! We're desert rats and can handle some heat but not the cold! Hands were throbbing with pain and hard to work the controls. We lasted about an hour and a half all together and then sought some shelter! :-D

little trick i learned some time back, put on some rubber gloves (like surgical gloves ect) under your normal gloves, will eliminate the wind chill on your hands. works great

Think I'll try that! Our hands were the only thing hard to deal with! Everything else was manageable. Normally don't ride in these temps. :-D

Did you guys do any straight up drags to WOT or was your buddy smarter then that?

It was his second ride on the CR500 so he's still trying to figure it out. I suggested he ride a gear high until he gets used to it. I might be able to talk him into a drag race soon though! Just based on todays ride I'm sure I can pull him on the top end! Didn't see what his gearing was but I think he was running a 50 on the rear as he seemed to have just slightly more pull in the deep sand. Mine is stock 14/47. When I let him in front I got roosted pretty good and ate some sand so I kept my distance because I didn't want my camera taken out! :-D
