Well!

FINALLY today was the first chance ive gotten to get my KDX200H out on some waste land and get the feel for my first every 2 stroke.

now i had only ridden 2 strokes like twice before or something and although it feels so good and nice to finally have something so light, Shade and i were faced with about an hour and a half time to share the bike within. It was really different and took some getting used to, i got a little stuck in a hole thingy and it did come down on me once, and nearly crashed like a further 10x or something but for a change some luck kept coming my way and it all held together.

Shadey with little to no experience on dirt bikes at all (apart from a few turns on my XR200/500 previously) got out there and gave it a go too! Awesome, although shakey at first and stacked my poor beast climbing a decent hill i ripped it up, slapped him in the head and told him i aint lettin him giveup and he must conquer it.. He came right! Hit it faster, kept that momentum up and got some real smooth riding going, did awesome for his first time on a 2 stroke.

So now here are some pics... It was so much fun i cannot explain it! And it was just an awesome challenge getting used to having a sharp power band, one of the vert wheelies i popped up i actually slipped right back off the seat still hanging on and touched ground behind me with right foot twice and pushed it back over and revived it! felt so good and was such a rush i just had to have another few goes at it.

Pics are: wheelies, getting crossed up and sideways trying to land, doing a dropoff thingy, and shadey climbing the hill!

yeep!

Chur guys, i thought people would like hte pics, i really did, it was so much fun and i got to do a few dropoffs which were always my worst area of trail riding when i was young, all i remember of them was biting the dirt more often then not and never working out exactly what made them so difficult.

also thanks for the link, checking it out now :)

I miss the days of going crazy on a motorcross bike though the pines, on the beach or on a track. Might have to keep an eye out for another cheap MX bike. I like the pics. :2thumbsup

Oh yes I want one.:wari:

I have been looking at KDX's recently having deceided that's what I want. I have never done any off road riding at all before but at Xmas I had a go up on my brother in laws farm and I had an absolute blast on his old DR. I had a go on a brand new KTM 200 as well but that frightened the shit out of me so I'll start out a bit slower I think until I upskill somewhat. All I need now is enough money to buy something. Probably looking at next summer hopefully. (fingers crossed)
Bring it on..........
