[QUOTE="2stroke, post: 632040, member: 25668"] Wow lots of great comments Thanks! Yeah, it is a 2stroke. Its a small one, a 350 triple. I should probably take the baffles out after inspection. It REALLY loud then that might help with letting them know Im there. They dont have a reputation of being the best handling bikes but theyre not as bad as the 750 triples. Get the massive crank on a 750 triple spinning, and you will NOT make a corner. super gyro effect. Ive been putting around the parking lot nearby to get the feel of everything, and Ive taken it on short sprints around the block here and there. I agree that its probably good to have MX experience. I would think nothing of tearing ass across a field on it. Doesnt feel that much different than the bike I race vintage class on, which is also an old Kaw. My brother told me about one time his side stand came down, and he was not able to make a corner. He straigtened it out, and went off the road. He wound up in a corn field, but didnt wreck it. He told me that if he hadnt had the MX experience it would of been alot worse. I think I will just be in complete defense mode and like some of you said, consider EVERYONE a threat. When I get the hang of it, I am going to have to fight the urge to go as fast as I can whenever I can, because thats pretty much what Ive been doing on the dirt. I see guys out there on sport bikes who BLOW past me on the highway, and I just cant believe it. ONE little slip and they would be a spot. I think Ill just try to cruise around. Ive had a few good wrecks in the dirt, but so far only broken a leg and ripped up a knee. One time, I hit a HUGE rut left by a 4X4 and dumped it over and went tumbling across the ground about 40 feet. GOt skinned up a little but if it was on the street I would have been a mess. So, Ill have to get some good gear. OH boy maybe some LEATHER pants! LOL! something in bright green maybe... [/QUOTE]
