Now I remember why these things are fun... you can hold it wide open cause you're not going anywhere and it feels like you're in the matrix... everything seems like slow motion.

Cool dealer that lets you test ride.
It was a customer of mine, I do his kids 85's... he just bought this Yam 125... I hadn't been on one in like 5 years.

I told him I'll check the jetting on it... hehehe

I will say this though... (it was at Gravity park for you locals) track was very hardpacked.. and for some reason I could clear the spectator plateau that is pretty close to the corner better on the 125 than my 250f. Go figure.

this dude left his 125 in my garage(a new 2004Cr) for like two years, he never called, so I got a wild hair and took it to a winter race and railed, led the A-main for a few, and everyone gave me shit of how I was faster on that thing than my 450, I was tempted to buy it from him until I blew the crankbearings a few weeks later, sorry dude, it was worth the friendship, kid couldn't ride at all the poor thing was shitting out carbin for days.

Ahhhh the old "I'll check the jetting" story.
Good on ya.

I'm getting old.
I don't "clear" things anymore.
I just kind of go over them.

That was the first "real" motocross bike I threw a leg over (previously had ridden enduro/trail bikes)

That bike was FUN
