Bike is in great condition! Runs great and fast! Only thing it needs is a front brake! Brand new triple tier and back brake pedal! Has a new top end kit that comes with it! Brand New front and back tires along with the FMF Exhaust!!

Perhaps turn the forks around first?

The fork lugs are on backwards! That must be a trick to pull the front wheel in to gain cornering prowess.

I love it when the seller always ends his sentences with an exclamation point! You know the guy is legit when he does that!
I once tried running the forks backward like that! It severely reduced the trail! Made the bike corner like crazy!
Hey, do you guys want to help me sell my bike! It's better than that one!

There's a reason that pipe is so dented in the front. "Brand new" tires? And who brags about a new brake pedal?

Oh my Christ you have to be EXTRA SPECIAL to have the fork rotated around that side. I bet that thing sure rides funny.

Laughing Reminded me of a few pushies (bicycles) I've seen on display at shops such as K-Mart with the forks on backwards.

I'm guessing he used his ATC 250R as a guide when he put the forks back on.

Why is everyone saying the forks are on backwards ? Ever here on a racing caliper ? They need to be in front for cooling. It is true . I saw it on a CL ad once. Silly

Actually it increases trail for more straight line stability.

Edit: sorry for the serious post. Back to the funny shit.

So, about the new brake pedal. That means that it replaced a broken one, which is frightening from the standpoint that there was a point where the bike had no brakes at all. Judging from the post, I feel comfortable in thinking that was acceptable to the owner and was ridden accordingly. Awesome!


Even funnier than the front brake being backwards is that its on the wrong side!

He's the second 'owner' and wore the front tire out dropping in from some sweet wheelies. Someone told him he could turn the tire around and get some more use out of it. The rim lock was the only lock he couldn't figure out but, he would not be denied.
