Could be. I love when I look back at my posts and auto correct has massacred them and I didn’t notice.
I swear it changes what I typed after I hit post reply or save ., because I actually re read them before I do it.

Dirt bike of death
1983 CR 480 with Left Side Kickstart , right side chain.
Those things were crazy.
Honda made those Lefties for a couple years
Have a friend who is left handed and has an old Lefty CR 250 like this 480.

Lucky it was your first one.
I could never adjust to right shift - left brake foot controls ... crash & burn

[DavesGTO]

i did alot of the crash and burn, the move to the Suzuki was interseting!

[turbo69bird]

CR480 crash did someone call for that. ….
My cousin with a wind up camera ( disposable) caught me in the whoops , off the jump, 100+ ft out landing, bottoming it , crash w Wide open throttle still cranking away the thought it was gonna blow up. The ICe pack and resulting damage. ��. My wife came home found me bleeding on the couch and thought I was dead

That was 4 th gear wide open that launch. And a 480 only has 4 gears!

On the bounce from bottoming my leg went behind caught the fire and went into the tire and swing arm and it just ground a hole in my leg.
W the knobbys if you look close you’ll see the leg torn up
God I loved that bike

[turbo69bird]

It’s literally the exact moment my leg came off the right peg and caught the ground kicking it backwards. Great timing on these shots. He Shoulda been a photographer I guess. Had he had an I phone back then maybe we’d have gotten the swing arm/ tire grinder in the picture.

If I can find them

[turbo69bird]

250r
CR500
Trx250r

Wish I’d never sold any of them
TRX had a 310 kit was nasty.

Glamis sand dunes too.

I still have a 1999 YZ125 Yamaha I bought in 2001 .
Screaming demon with incredible suspension for big jumps.
But can only tiptoe touch ground on one side. It's like riding a horse.

At 61 I'm looking for something I can touch flat footed on both sides for some trail riding.
And medium level mayhem.
Would love to have a 72-73 Yamaha Enduro in excellent condition but I think I would be too rough on it.
They were beautiful bikes.

[turbo69bird]

Thought you guys would enjoy this speaking of going BIG !

You just gotta be 250 lbs like I am and the suspension comes right down low ��. Just takes more pizza

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I'm up to 150 lbs ,,,, but really need to lose 5 or 10.
The only modern bikes I can flat-foot are big-wheel minicycles with 19"/16" wheel combos.

[turbo69bird]

At that weight you should be a pilot. Biggest problem w air planes is weight I struggle with it in my vans RV6 always at gross weight of the airplane

It’s a construction company they stock pile materials there. Not a place to ride unfortunately those are few and far between around here these day

I like
That KTM but w them
Being in bankruptcy idk.
From what I hear the electric bikes are taking over also.
Easy to ride w out noise complaints.
