Ended up with a YZ490 which I swear was trying to hurt me.Had a 2002 road registered CR500E for a while too.Complete dog on the road though, so it was mainly used to throw me into the bushes.

Took a 3.5 x 18 inch rim off the back and put it on the front. Put a 17 x 5.5 in the rear. Edited 26/10/14 04:30 AM by arronm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was living in Kalgoorlie.Ended up snapping the frame down tube on a fuking humingous jump.Expansion chamber slammed into either the ground or the front wheel, folded in half and smashed me in the leg on the way past.Left me pushing the bike home. Sold it to a mate who welded the frame and repaired the spanny, but it was never the same.The big banger YZ came along a few years after that.Ah the good old days, when brain cells where in short supply.Luckily, I've given up dangerous motorbikes.

It was about 20 years ago I had mine also. Pretty clapped out by the time I was thru with it though. Not having 2nd gear while thrashing thru the bush made for some interesting riding!

Miss that bike....One of the greatest tragedies in the history of the world was that these things didn't have ADR compliance.I've still got a 1991 KTM540exc in storage that I'll get restored some day. Left-hand kickstart is a bitch, but ADR compliance means that it can be road licenced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
