NeedMoto Added a reply to Your riding pet peeves

Buddies wait till I'm 15 minutes into a 20 minute session, then jump on the track behind and want to race. Then come back to the pits and say how I was holding them up, and whats wrong with my speed today. The guys who park so close, you can barely get your door open, and there's 100' around us...

Ditto, same bike and time for me, great pic! My neighbor down the street was an early entrepreneur. He would charge me 25 cents, per 3 laps around his front yard on the Taco 66. Grass lap times were about 20 seconds, I was addicted. I went and cleaned out my dad's spare change jar. I was busted, quarters in...

When Twisted did that podcast with Pingree a while back, Jamie mentioned that he wanted to buy more houses and shops so he could expand from Socal to back east. I no longer use his products, the prices are ridiculous, not to mention his mapping isn't customized for individuals.

With 20 hours on the 23, you'll be golden. It's a different bike after the 8-12 hour mark. Especially if your able to get a decent price, I say go for it. You get weekend warriors already commenting on lean angle cornering in area 1,2, or 3, being better on the 25 because thats what they heard on the internet...

NeedMoto Added a reply to 250 2t vs 350 vs 450

Both those exact same bikes here. My 250 smoker, as fun as it is, it's now my off-road bike. The 350 is much easier to be consistant, and generally all around easier to get around the moto track for me. Was on 450's up until a few tears ago. Just really didn't like the feel of them when the tracks...

Josh Mosiman at MXA would beg to differ. That recap he just did as to racing the 350 last weekend was pretty cool. Gonna be interesting to see how he does on the 450 this weekend at Hangtown. Now... for us Vital weekend warriors, the 350 is a great bike!

Yep, forks for sure. I did it it on the same year 350 to my 21 xc250. I assume shock wouldn't be a problem.

Try Contra Costa powersports in Cali. There advertising the 24 Kawi 450x at 6,399.00. The moto version same price. I'd be curious if they hit you up with the same junk fees, the others have quoted you?

NeedMoto Added a reply to 23+ ktm sxf triple clamp offset

5/27/2024 7:22am
Luxon clamps on my 23 KTM 350sxf. Set at 24mm off-set. Absolutely got rid of the nervousness on corner entry, and even stayed in the long nasty straight away ruts better. Surprisingly turned better as well. Same set up, KYB front.

Lostboy819^^^ is exactly right! I ride the tracks in Norcal that JM485 is referencing, and without us old dudes and vet riders, Sexton and the other promoters won't have a sustainable income to operate the tracks and stay open. Just saying...
My buddy restored his 350. He races Vintage in the 60 plus expert class, still has the front and rear lights on. He often holeshots, or worse case is always top 3 off the start. Usually finishes top 3-5. Fun to watch him pass all the high end built Euro bikes. He likes being the underdog
