How many of you dirtbike , Quad or Otherwise race some form of offroad vehical?
Personally I Desert race in the 200 below and the 525 old man class.
I have a the 525 is a 2003 that is re jetted and the exaust is re done
The 200 two-stroke( which is just slightly slower) is a 2002 and re jetted
and I have two honda 230's that are modified to be trials bikes that are also re jetted
My favorite is the two stroke because it is such a rocketship off the line with the fly wheel i have and the low gears (it tops out at about 65-70mph) Ive been riding about three years.

!!! I love KTM's that 525 has so much tourque its unbilivable. It will go from 0-110mph in about four seconds(4.13seconds)with me leaned as far over the gas tank as possible and pulling a wheelie in sixth gear :headbang:

ive never really been all that interested in motorcycles or dirt bikes. you cant destroy stuff with them :twisted:

however, my friend is into them, but he had a crash recently, and broke an arm and his collar bone. he got like 15 feet of air off the burm on the side of the course tho :roll:

I ride.
the craziest thing I ever did was ride up at an angle of 50*degrees with sheer drops on both sides and the path was only about 8ft wide.
scariest shit ever.
I misjudges the steepness and rove up too slow and my bike just could get enough traction and started to spit dirt and my bike fell over and me and the bike started sliding down the hill.
Luckily we didn't go over the edge or I would have been seriously injured if not dead.

I am more of a trail rider, I don't do stunts or anything stupid, I just like to ride.

I have an old gocart and trials bike, but I dont ride them anymore.

There are a few people in my neighborhood who ride through the woods. I'm about ready to take a sawed-off to their faces. The first thing these idiot kids do is rip the muffler off every shiny new atv they get, so it sounds like someone is riding in your front yard.

I think they've had the cops called on them before. Hopefully they'll get the things taken off of them/set on fire/blown up.

125 isn't too big of a thing to brag about. Heck, I went 95 in a 40cylinder 93 grand am once. I'll never do it again, but I did do it once. I want the '79 Mustang Mach 1 my dad used to have...

Well thats what to brag about, the fact that you would never do it again. I never felt in danger of losing my life and didnt take my car faster cause I ran out road. Happens quite quickly when you are going that fast.
