We had a great time, no rain.....woohoo.....I met some really nice guys and rode with some other riding buddies too.
Got to ride a KX500, a KTM 450 and a WR250. I liked the thumpers a lot but the big K5 was just a little scary :yikes: in those tight woods. Don't get me wrong, it was a sweet ride and had tons of power in the open areas but just to much for very tight single track. May'be it's because it had been modded a good bit? I don't know much about 500's so I'm really not sure. The owner told me it wouldn't run on less that 112 octane and it did seem hard to kick over but I've never rode any other 500's so I really don't know if they're all hard to kick over or not.
The KTM 450 seemed like a John Deere pulling up those trails and I could lug it and just cruise, it was so different than my KX250. The WR250 is also a super sweet ride and makes it very difficult for me to decide my next bike, a WR250 or WR450 , no, I'm not crossing over to the dark side, :nener: I'm still keeping my KX, but those thumpers are still great bikes. I'd even look hard at a KTM if they wern't so expensive.
Anyway, we had a great ride at Barnwell expecially on some of the just run GNCC track, so if you've never been there, give it a try sometime.
