I couldn't resist with all the two strokes showing up. Mine has a couple rides on it but still very new.

Who wants yesterday's technology anyway? Next thing you know these guys will be looking for a Motorola flip phone! Smile

Sweet bike, sweet garage. I was beginning to think new bikes only came in orange. Where'd you ever find a green one? And my flip phone was the shit! Second only to my Motorola Pen Pager.Wink

By the look of your forks it seems like you're trying to get it to corner like a two stroke. Nice set up.

If only everyone was this honest it would save me from having to listen to all the bs at the track. Nothin like a guy complaining about his bike set up and then you watch them ride and they roll everything on the track.

The bike is nice, but the garage reeks of anal-retentiveness. Do you really make your kids line their bikes up like that?

Ok, I'm jealous. May I please come live in your garage? I promise I won't put anything in there that isn't clean and I'll make sure it's perfectly lined up. Smile

4 strokes are like modern cars, once they blow their trash....

while 2 strokes are the muscle cars of the 60's that keep ripping even after 50 years!

Nice bike you got there. Now go out and get an aftermarket exhaust for that bike because those stock silencers are fugly.

Nice!
I spoke with mine as well. Bought a 2012 KXF250.
Going back to a 2 stroke would be like watching a movie on a vcr. Some guys just dig old technology. lol

Correct me if im wrong but arent four strokes the old technology since that is what got motocross started. Then they were replaced by two strokes.

Nice looking set up, but it looks like not much real work happens there. I do like a clean shop, but that looks sanitary, like oil has never been spilled on the work bench. Maybe it's still all new and not broke in yet.

I can't imagine how pissed I'd be the first time I fumble fucked an oil pan and launched used oil all over the floor and spattered the walls. Insane looking garage bro!

Yeah, whatever.
We're all just a bunch of mindless lemmings, buying whatever the OEM's tell us.
And we really don't like our 4 strokes, we've just been brainwashed into thinking we do.
Since I've only been riding mx for 40 years, there's no way in hell I would know what bike I like the best? lol

Now sit down, this may come as a shock to you. Some of us actually like riding our 4t's!

I know you guys hate it, but the days of black & white tv's and rotary phones ain't coming back.

Anyway, buy want you want, have fun with it and quit preaching.

I am pretty detailed, but my daughter definitely doesn't line her bike up like that.....I have to do it for her! As far as living there, the rent can be worked out I am sure!

There has been plenty spilled on the workbench and the toolbox but the garage itself is new. The floor will clean easily regardless of what get's spilled on it.

Do you REALLY believe that??? I guess that is why a V6 Camaro in 2012 will destroy an SS from 1969 in 1/4 mile, top speed, braking, and cornering.....all with the A/C on and an iPod playing on the 8 speaker system with a sub.

That statement is like saying Travis Pastrana would be faster than Dean Wilson on his 250F using his RM 125 back in the day. No chance!

Old stuff is cool to look at, but you simply cannot compare the performance. In my opinion, the BEST "muscle car" is an old Camaro, Mustang or GTO with all late model components. Best of both worlds!

Did you do the floor yourself or was it done professionally? I have a new shop with a concrete floor and was thinking about doing that, your picture just sold me on it.

I know you can buy the kit and roll it on yourself and sprinkle the flakes (or whatever they are) over it as its drying, but yours looks almost too perfect to have been done that way.

Spoke with your wallet?

I know it's kind of a pun, but there is no need to speak or fight for inclusion of 4-strokes in any form of racing.
