I'm sure some of you are pleased as it is, but say some crazy sheik gave you unlimited cash, what would you do with your second lover in the garage?

Me, I would put as much carbon as possible on the sucker and some Showa A-kit plus motomods suiting my crappy riding.

Lap times would be equal of course, but I like looking good in the pit since I don't look good on track! Smile

I think unlimited cash doesnt make a good question, everyone would just get factory motor, factory suspension, carbon etc..

How bout if you got given $10 000 to go towards your bike? What would you do then?
I know the first thing i would do would be to get my suspension tuned properly by a factory guy if possible, then would probably bling it out, until i can ride my bike as hard as it will go i can't see any point in doing too much to the motor..

I'd probably just get the suspension reworked, maybe try that Diamond Kit by RG3, and put some Talon wheels on it. Maybe send the top end to AJ to do some port work, but I don't know why, I don't have it wide open very much anyway. I'd buy a lifetime supply of D756 rears, that'd be nice.

IMS 3.2 gallon tank, full skid plates, Scotts steering damper, trail tech kickstand, CYCRA pro bend handguards for my woods setup.

I'm pretty content with my MX setup ATM.

To me, there's no modification that works as well as a new set of tires. I'd change 'em every ride if I could...A 500 with a fresh 756 on a loamy track is better than sex. Literally.

Good answer. I could spend about $5,000 on my bike but after that, I'd just be wasting money. I'd rather have several bikes and travel around riding. I've always wanted to ride amateur day for every national. How cool of a vacation would that be?

Ditto! Well, except I'd ride the greatest tracks and then dual sport the globe in search of the coolest golf courses.

Full Factory Connection A kit suspension. Ron Hamp head porting and valves. MRD custom pipe. Titanium axles, shock spring, and complete Ti bike bolt kit. Tall seat. Fasst Flex bars. Excel rims and tallon carbon hubs. 8 rear tires and 4 front tires new in the trailer.

Oh wait.....I already have that on a shoe string budget.

Unlimited cash would be spent on more important things like Mercedes Terrel as my umbrella girl.

Unlimited cash?
I'd relieve Primm of his inventory and take the majority of TB's with me also......you did say FU $$, (unlimited money) as in Ted Turner money, as in I want Bob Hannah's works bike and because I have enough money, it's mine. (sorry Terry, I'll keep it safe)

Sorry if I got off subject, it's a good thought.
By the way, if I had Ted's land, I'd make it open only to off-road riding.

sell my 05 and buy the complete AF line up(all brands) from AJ just to have them and to see whether i feel more comfy on the KX or the CR..... then buy crappy PC KX250F's for friends that come over to ride if they dont have a bike...Cool and lastly pay RC to race a two stroke outdoors...
