Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

Right then. Let me 'bludge' some 17" rims and huge brakes so I can return to Wanganui this year.Well, you know me! That's why we get on so well!!
I want my prize money from '05' and then some.

Best cared for 2nd hand bike I ever bought
I have no doubt about your RMZ. I spent about 6 hours on an 08 CRF450 and it confirmed exactly Why I have the KX500. I also rode the ex works ktm of Briggs at Taupo, on the 500 out of the hairpin, the 500 would go WAAAP and instantly slide, and seemed to say "FUCK YOU ARSEHOLE" at the same time lol. Briggs ktm was so polite in comparison, it talked all the way, "I'm about to slide, I'm now gently sliding, want the back end a few more inches out sir?
I first rode a friends KX500 maaaany years ago when I was 18, to this day it is the only bike that truly scared me. (faulty front brake had something to do with that too lol) I remember thinking, shit, no way am I ready for one of these, stick with the 125 of the time and get a 500 when I'm 30 or something lol. I bought it of you when i was 32 me thinks lol
Anyway, I digress lol Modern bikes like your 450 are just to nice for me. If i were racing serious, I'd have a 4 stroke most prob. But for me, I like to throw a leg over the 500 as it commands utmost respect, I love the way the razer edge is so sharp and it is just waiting to bite you if you give it the slightest chance. Keeps this old prick on his toes and helps keep the dementia at bay eh. No farking marshmallow 450 4stroke for me

Yeah sugilite know where you coming from with the rear coming around to "3 O'clock" - (shingle) soon straightens out eh, could see the problem on tar with continuing to skim along the surface. Dudes over at kxriders probably have "the oil" how to overcome the problem. Yah tried those new Metzlers out with the tapered edge ? Front ad rear set up to complement each other.
Nice skills Armitage, like the green and black colours the best, started of in 90 and finished with same colours.
cs363 more baja titles than you can chuck a stick at eh - got to get me one of those big tanks, anyone know whats the biggest dessert tank can get for the mighty K5 ?

check out clarke or ims tanks

I think it was at least 10 Baja 1000 titles, plus a swag of ISDE titles as well not to mention all the other 'minor' titles he won. Probably didn't hurt having Mitch Payton (owner of Pro Circuit) as a good mate either!
honda_power is on the money with Clarke & IMS tanks, they are both good quality items. From memory Clarke made the biggest version, not sure whether they still do though...

I must admit, it's been about 14 months since I straddled my K5 and took it for a squirt ...work, new house and job stuff ...blah blah. ( excuses )..looked at it today, might even get some gas and fire it up tommorrow . I used to run a 20% Avgas mix with 91 Octane but seeing how I've stopped flying and can't get the Avgas readily ...what should I run it with ?
Whatawhata MX Track- Heddon Rd
I would imagine 98 would be sweet... 98 octane would prob have a higher final octane than 20% avgas and 91. BP Ultimate is good shit.
Hardcore Biker
Meant to run cooler to the higher the octane, find 95 Shell works well too. See it says 91 or up in the book.
Last time went out used 98 BP and front wheel was lifting nicely through the gears.
The guy with the 2004 in Timaru knows his mechanicals and he runs Amsoil oil at 100:1 so he has even more octane, here's the distributor

100:1? Best way to fuck your engine in no time. 30:1 is better...20:1 better still. 2 Strokes make more power and torque with more oil in em. Better ring sealing.
