Default Got rid of the DS

Well, it has been fun talking to all of you guys over the last year and a half, but the ds is now gone. The swingarm was the last straw, and I just can't keep dumping money in to it. It was also not near as much fun anymore. There just wasn't a challenge riding anymore so I go another toy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. This time I got something that scares the hell out of me, and will take a long time to get used to. A honda cr500. I hope to see some of you guys at LS, Oklahoma sometime.
Later,
Justin

You'll come back to four wheels believe me I did, it will just take a few trips to the ER[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Not trying to scare you or anything because my KX500 is a blast............. when I can keep it on 2 wheels.

I totaled it hill climbing at my local park. I could fix it, but I am just tired of spending tons of money on it. I went through all the receipts for the time I owned it and in less than two years I spent $9500.00 on it and most of that was repair parts. I just can't afford to keep doing it. The other thing is I was so confident in it that I wasn't afraid to try anything, and one of these times it was going to bite me hard.

I had insurance on it and I just got $4700 for it. I didn't think that was too bad.

Good luck with the CR 500

Any way all the best with the two wheel thing and spend some of the money from your parts on body armour i have had a few moto cross bikes in the past and i needed it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I am picking up a chest protector monday along with new boots and probably a new helmet. I just got back in from riding it, and it should be fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].
