I am excited they are doing a 125 match up too, but I'd also love to see a fast time on a current 450 from one of them on the same day to see if any progression has been made in 25 years. I know that isn't the concept of the show though.

What do you want to talk about? The fact he's out riding at a track and has Ace Hardware numbers? I'll take that over some dude with a pristine garage and two FE's with full custom graphics that each have 3 hours when he sells them for next years bikes.

It’s not that, it’s just I’m wondering if the bike was to be shipped to an address as opposed to those being the actual numbers for competition. That’s what I’d like to know, Nate Dawg.

100% u cant even compare laptimes on a sand track on the same day as with 30+ other riders on the track it changes with every lap vs 2 guys having a fresh prepped track completely for themselves on a different time of the year haha
But oh well carson and jimmy knew that comparison is BS

The lap that Carson about swapped the front would have been way faster.

The '01 YZ426 was my first modern four stroke and I loved mine. It tracked straight and turned awesome. You just needed a ton of strength lol. I rode the absolute crap out of mine, had JM Racing in North Houston do the boingers and it ate rough tracks like nothing else I had after that. It was the bike to have until the CRF450 hit the streets. I bought an 04 CRF brand new as my next four stroke and the first day at the track I hit the dirt 4-5 times, washing the front every time. That bike COULD NOT turn, AT ALL. I hated mine and sent the suspension out 4-5 different times. I tried RG3, I tried Factory Connection, I tried locals, I tried different triple clamps, and I still could not get it to work as good as that YZ.

Then I ended up with an 05 with the new frame and that was a much much better bike. I got the suspension to work OK (still not as good as the JM Racing-tuned YZ426) and rode it for a bit and got an '07 CRF when they were blowing them out at 5K OTD in NorCal. This was my favorite of the carbureted CRFs and the 1st time through the boingers by a local tuner was good enough to set it and forget it. I liked it better than the 08 as it had better forks.

Good times. That YZ was bad ass. And so was that '07 CRF.

I’ve been riding a 01 426 while my 250 tranny is out.  Bike is way better then most people think,   The motor is incredible to ride and easy, the only downside is it feels like 500lbs..

Let’s talk about the mailbox numbers on your bike.

Haha,  I did a race a few weeks ago on it and actually had them laying around from a mailbox.   Racers race and riders ride.
