BSwift told me about it at a work day at the Stillwater 500. Now I never have to ride alone and have a place to get my fix when the weather won't allow riding, I've read my magazines cover to cover....twice, and ESPN2 changes the time they are showing Supercross/Motocross because of a dog show, poker, senior golf tournament, etc. etc.

I cant really remember how I found it, but it was in 1999/2000 because I was riding a 86 KX80 and now I am on a 2003 Husaberg Fe400E :)

I thought that told me a friend, but I was wrong, I found DRN searching on engine Google and looking for information about "Asterisk knee braces".

wow... lots of interesting posts here..... to think that it was a casual challenge to Okie early '99 "hey Bob how about getting back into dirtbike riding...?" (this was prompted by me coming across the Suzuki website when doing a web search unrelated to dirtbikes); within 2 or 3 weeks we had a couple of KDXs and were desperately looking for places to ride... Okie found info sources on the web lacking, so he promptly started this site as a 'collection site' for dirtbike info. Somehow this site got naturally and abundantly fertilized and, well, grew faster than the weeds at OT's track where Okie, Eric, Rich and ole' Pokester would ride our knobs off --- in-between tech seminars from RR (on his lo-rider YZF444) and war stories from Eric --- wow --- can life get any finer?

Its funny that I still remember. I found out about DRN through Eric Gorr and his book. Back then i was cluless about fixing bikes. I knew alot about the technology but not the specific's. I went out and bought a 99 kx125 and wow was that a learning experiment. I used to ask probably some of the stupidest questions, but I really didn't know. I then sent out my cylinder to eric to get a 144 kit. I remember sitting in my garage just looking how an 2-stroke cylinder works. I mean I knew how it worked on paper, but till you pull a head off and watch how the piston ports work you can really appreciate how simple it is. I used to love reading what eric gorr posted especially when he posted as EGORR. I then graduated to learning everything I could about suspension, which to me was rather foreign. It funny now when my friends look at me for advice and the only reason I can give them answer is this site. Thanks guys.

A newbie rider who was 'net' savvy bumped me to this well controlled madhouse and I've enjoyed it ever since.

You all have been kick-a$$ therapy while I've been healing up from my first stay-at-home racing injury!

Advertising well paid! I am pretty sure a couple of years ago a search lead me here and I dismissed it, oct of 06 I found it again and stayed!!! When I was doing some research recently over our stolen bikes I was directed back here about 4 out of 5 times for imformation.
