Why not just appreciate the fact that someone is willing to come over in the middle of their season and that he may give some of the riders here a run for their money. I hope he does well so maybe we'll have some others give it a try, especially since half the factory riders here seem to be injured...

I had some support from KTM a few years ago as far as getting discounts on bikes and a parts allowance. I had a 125 and a 250 in 2004. Both had great motors, great brakes, but the suspension left something to be desired, especially on the 250. We could not get the back end to track on acceleration bumps...

96 rm125-loved the right side up forks and turned like no other bike 98 yz125- first new bike ever and felt like a mini 250. One of the best 125 motors I've ridden with to this day 99 rm250- holeshot machine. Raced GFI winter series in the 250 Intermediate class against some really fast guys and holeshot 9 out of...

This is my first post so feel free to initiate as needed. I'm thinking about doing this race as well. Picked up a kx250 a few weeks back and have been riding that instead of the 450. Should be a fun race to go to.
