I remember reading and hearing stories about the huge rocks and crap that the old 500s would chew up and spit out over any poor sap silly enough to follow one closely. Apparently racing them was as much as about being able to handle being beaten up by the roost of the guy in front as much as handling the bike...

Haha I remember the roost that used to come off Richard Adamsons 'factory' honda xr650 haha fuck that used to hurt on tracks like patetonga and whangarei caves tracks

Yeah its crazy its like riding flat out into a hail of paint ball fire! My arms and neck would be littered with bruises and welts but if you wanted to pass there was no other way

I did Hare scramble years ago in Waitarere Forest on my KX500. Through the tight sections and trees the lil bikes got away on me, but come the open sections which were gravel roads I got some serious payback! No one wanted to come near me.

Ahh, I raced there once in 97, nearly missed my race after following some tourists into the cave and at the end they all turned thier lights off to look at the glow worms, meaning me and my mate had to wait in the pitch with them.

haha yeah I was a pretty young fella back then so we would all be scampering around in the caves. What event were you at? We were at every major event there from 96 to 03

Been there mate, good that the KX500's are super stable on the gravel and the fast top gear sections ( Baja 9 years in a row ? ), but not so good in the tight stuff but still a lot of fun. Must admit the standard gearing on a KX5 leaves the clutch groaning a few times going up some of the techcnical stuff in a taller gear which is why I always change the gearbox oil after every 4 - 5 hours to keep the clutch fresh and I've never had a problem.


You might see my '04 Bike on trademe soon , still a puppy at 45 hours only, don't use it much anymore ...
