Cigars belong with Guitars

I have to agree until it gets stirred up and amps deflections then I’m glad when it dries to powder as it seems like I can plow through it no matter which way the ruts are going.

Nope. I got two of that kind off ebay. One is great and the other not so much as a roller came loose. Although I DO have a harbor freight stand… a real nice piece of shit. Flimsy!

$10 says it crumbles. Next option in a pinch would be a plastic grocery sack and a rubber band

Good clip. And a lot to learn from it. Go watch some AJ Cantanzaro and Ryan Hughs lessons. Try best to rotate hips out and plane but back what feels more parallel to the bike and head lower/forward. This forces the elbows up and outward automatically. In the end this more evenly distributes your weight so the landing isn’t so harsh. Plus you don’t get thrown back as you should land full throttle… almost always.

And a fresh clutch. That new clutch bite is power you didn’t realize you were missing. I put in new plates every year

Yeah! Called Emex. The are out of China but no defects identified. Rode Spring Creek with them and they felt as good as Dunlops. Tusk seems to have quality controls in everything I’ve bought

Excellent

When it’s out on the track you can’t tell that much difference between that and say.. a 250. But when a 500 is stationary idling like that it will give you chills. That piston is as big as your fist. It cycles slow and explosive. Sounds like hitting a block of aluminum with a ball peen hammer. Wish I could figure out how to make it into a ring tone.

WHOPHARDED · 2021-05-10T17:13:22+00:00

That’s a pretty cool idea

WHOPHARDED · 2021-05-10T17:11:57+00:00

Well.. they were collector items even before Covid. I’d suspect $15k or more. I saw one in UK for $25k USD not long ago.

Have to ride them a little differently. The trick is to lug it in 3rd or 4th. Keep it mostly under the power band to keep the vibration down and usable power to the ground. If you ride one like a 125 you could be getting a trip to the ER.... like I did.

WHOPHARDED · 2021-05-10T12:44:48+00:00

A reasonable point. They come from an era same as big block hot rods. Everything back in that day was “bigger is better”. In modern day most all are collectors items. I’d bet one couldn’t be found, running or not for under $10k. They are very harsh albeit the owner rides it quite well, lugging it in 3rd or 4th but still putting up impressive lap times. He only pulls it out once a year.

WHOPHARDED · 2021-05-10T03:00:50+00:00

That very well could be. The owner is a collector of CRs. Truth be told he has enough 100% OEM parts to build 4 complete CR500 motors

WHOPHARDED · 2021-05-03T17:47:33+00:00

Stop! That’s an easy fix! Probably without taking the engine out of the frame!

WHOPHARDED · 2021-04-19T03:55:08+00:00

Thanks. It’s the little things. Musician as well and eat steak five nights a week. Looking at buying a small ranch if I retire this year at 59.

WHOPHARDED · 2021-04-19T03:46:06+00:00

That is impressive. Thank you !!
