Thanks JT, I'm quite impressed with the wide angle, just puts yah in there more. Now I just have to get as quick as you to keep up with the gang! I rode that YZ250F and really liked it, so much more control than the KX, you can go faster have more fun and work less harder. I loved popping wheelies and doing little jumps at will on it. Best of all you didn't have to be in the right gear all the time.

Cool vid oldschool. that fish eye gets a nice wide view. Makes things look a bit funny though. That downhill looks not as steep with it.

The original looks better. Yeah makes faces look like talking eggs ay. Plenty good enough for what I have in mind, and if I go further with it then yep would have to upgrade into something higher spec'd with much higher shutter spd and more frames per second.

Yeah, I've always had a soft spot for 4's, getting the KX was a cheap option to see if I would get back into the sport. I wouldn't need to get fit if I got a 250 4T, and I think I would enjoy it even more. I reckon they corner better too, heaps of traction which the 2 stroke loses.

Cool vid! One of the better quality helmet cams fer shere. I don't think I even saw you there! too busy huffing and puffing after bike decided it didn't want to start for what felt like forever after going through the puddle crossing and waiting for the others. Kick, kick, kick....kickkickkickkickKICK.

Actually when I helped you on one of those gnarly hills and started it up for yah I did notice the lever was angled down a bit so your foot just kinda slips off it before you can give it a good kick. Maybe it's something you need to look at?

I haven't noticed it's bent or anything, but it wouldn't surprise me, the rear brake lever is all yanged out. It's a horrible little lever regardless. I've heard of people bodging on 125 ones cause the stock ones are a bit crap.

Pain in the butt that you got behind the quad on that sandhill! Awesome video, you remember all the twists and turns. I remember one of the first uphills looking a lot bigger though!

lol you're too kind! Love to give the 426 a squirt sometime. I had plans to look at a KX60 for Tawny in Hamilton Sat week but looks like this may not happen as the owners plans may have changed.

Yeah jeez those quads are annoying! Wish they kept to the left. And I wanted to hit that 'muddle' hard too.

**Midget200** · 28th April 2009, 14:26

Yeah thanks for that! I hit it hard a couple of times I'd have to say, bloody muddle!

**Midget200** · 28th April 2009, 14:29

Hey KTM Boy, will we be able to view footage of the video that was being taken on the farm loop?

**Jinxycat** · 28th April 2009, 17:55

For Midget250X

Bike faired alot better than he did, only broke a spoke, punctured tyre and ? bent rim possibly forks out of allignment too, will give him something to do when he gets out.

He is in theatre now, just found out they doin all external scaffolding which means no rod, and he can ride quicker

Riding lessons oops I mean a catch up at woodhill will be just the ticket, no stumps involved.
