I was wondering about that.

You did ok though.

 

yeah but the ride is SOOOOOO much better with the 250r units in the front and the 230e rezzied unit in the back, its a whole new bike lol!

the difference is simply indescribable. the best way i could put it is that in the vid, those little single jumps i was going off of were about as far as i could go without serious bottoming. now, with the upgraded suspension, i can hit those same jumps so much faster im landing part way down the downside of that hill!

 

man that video was awesome you should get somemore up on here

 

jory, check out the website in my sig, there's three other videos there from me under gallery>videos.

 

yea man i seen all your pics and videos on photobucket you was catching some major air

 

hey atvman, i really like the idea of the magazine images section!!! old stuff like that really gets me goin lol...

i got a bunch of old articles ill put up one here for ya when i find em... (the one you have now was actually one of them hahaha)

 

heres a few:

 

oh and atvman, nice writeup on the steering stem replacement!

it reminds me of a race i did last year, when some stupid honda decided to do a backflip in front of me on a hillclimb (well, i was kinda following too close) which resulted in me doing the same. my bars got bent back so far that the rear edge of the steering stem plate (the top piece) put gouges in my plastics above my tank. i bailed (in front of a crowd of 70+ people, of course XD) but got my bike back on all fours and bent the bars back to "kinda straight" right on the spot. my tether killswitch was stuck in the off position so i whipped out a knife and cut one of the wires leading to it (a big no-no according to the AMA haha). First kick my 230 roared to life and i shot up the hill in true suzuki fashion (hahaha) i could hear the crowd cheering and i thought that was kinda cool since i was on a 23 year old 230 while the other 90% of riders were on fancy new 450's and such. anyways, i finished the race and returned to my trailer. while i was strapping the bike down i grabbed a hold of the bars to steady myself, and SNAP! the bars came clean off and i busted my @$$ in front of even more people. i couldnt believe how lucky i was that they didnt let loose in the middle of the race!

from that day on i always check for stress cracks or anything like that before every ride haha...

 

jee man thats lucky seen something similar like that happen at the races this weekend but it resulted into a pile up

 

yea but i gotta admit, it was kinda my fault, i was way too close to him.
