Riding talent is the biggie, then spanner skills and effort, then money. To go well you either spend effort or lots of money.

The fiddlers like to spend effort and the riders like to spend money and just ride, and that's fair enough.

Which is good, because its particularly great fun beating big money with spanner talent ......

At the end of the day talent counts for more than bike anyway. Still remember being seriously embarassed on my 360sx KTM by a guy on a KDX200 by the name of Chris Birch. You can buy all the bike you like but you can't buy talent and balls the size of coconuts.

Chris is one of the world's very best hard-out enduro riders, of course. A group of 5 of us, including my son, had a whole day being coached by Chris at Riverhead forest on our dirt bikes in early 2008. Was fantastic. He at one stage rode up an almost vertical cliff, went into the air, turned it around, and came back down again. It was frightening to watch. He returned totally relaxed! We did not do that bit in our training

Yeah a mate had booked some training with him & a few mates earlier this year but I broke my collarbone so had to give up my place.

Don't do it!They sell em here. They are elcheapo big time. Horrible cheap engine castings and poorly made internals. You should see the bolt ons like nasty stamped foot pegs and ultra shitty pot metal levers and controls. After sales and spare parts support fageddaboutit!!!

[QUOTE=speedpro;1129463052]Trust me. The argument over how much a bucket should cost, and therefore how fast it may be, has been going on forever. Funny thing is that the FAST buckets all have more time spent on them than money. Money -yes, but time - YES, lots. It's the old story about a particular bucket not being in the spirit etc etc and how bucket racing is all about being "cheap" fun. Then someone mentions how all this money being spent is ruining bucket racing , what a load of crap.


Well put Green
