    Not necessarily relevant but in defence of MXers on the trail, looks like a lot of the women doing well in gncc etc ride 125 smokers.

    ...Personally I'd recommend a nice 100, I hear they're the best bike ever

    Did Honda/McGrath win on an 85??

    Got a kx85 and rm85 will be in sandpit probably wednesday or sometime this week. Drop me a pm and you can have a go on both. The rm85 has been modified a bit (ports opened up and jetted different, uses more fuel now too) I imagine a bit more like a cr or yz. It has less bottom end than the kx but more peaky top end.

    You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    And now a third thing a bloody big gun to shoot theives with!

    Yeah I'm sold on my KX85! Oh yeah it rocks. Went out today and it went like a dream. Yeah having a bit of trouble with the power band, but it's got some cool power! Different from a 4 stoke, but the weight is way cool! I'm sure that 'harnessing' the power will come with time! Just awesome bike. You're more than welcome to have a ride!

    With the trailer thing, yeah get out there early. I drive, in and drive out, don't do much of the reversing thing! Don't be too proud to accept help if it's offered either! The guys are way cool at the bike park and always willing to help out!

    good to see you like it.

    When reversing go slow as, so the mistakes are smaller and easier to correct. If you just want to go in a straight line backwards you can keep an eye on the wing mirrors. if you start to see more of the trailer in one than the other, turn gently towards it and it will straighten.

    no no no, the trick is to go as fast as you can doing the most amount of damage in the shortest amount of time, and then say "oh well lucky my boyfriend is a panelbeater"
    SHE LOOKED UP AT ME WITH BLOOD IN HER EYES
    THEN HER SKIN FELL OFF
    AND SHE PROMPTLY DIED
    IT WAS EBOLA, LA LA LA EBOLA

    No in my case its "Lucky my Daddy is a panel beater and looooves doin freebies, he'll fix it up awesome as, I promise" followed by a phonecall to said father "Daaaad, I love you...." , "Oh Daughter...what have you done/broken/damaged this time?..."
