[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 121345, member: 16598"] Wroof, when I first got the KDX I kept the 80 to make sure I was going to be okay. However, I was banned for 1 month to ride the 80. It had to stay at home (unless I had a friend going up). Then after that I was made to ride the 80. I did it and rode it once more for fun. Then it was time to do it up & sell it (my decision, Henk thought the KDX could be a good spare bike for him if I didn't like it). Henk was worried I'd be in the same situation as you, but he was also worried I'd stop riding. Everytime, for the first couple of months, I'd go into the garage & look at the KDX & wonder what the heck I'd done. It was so big & heavy. Within a week or so I was organising lowering it & softening the rear spring. I honestly couldn't go back to the 80 now, and it only took about 1 week to make up my mind (it took a heck of a lot longer to adjust to the bike though, now that I'm comfortable on it, I forget to check to make sure I can touch the ground and often fall because of it - oops). I did almost stop riding because I felt so incompetent/useless. I knew I couldn't go to an XR (I really don't like them sorry to say), but I knew I couldn't go back to a small bike (too cramped). However, my friends gave me heaps of encouragement & forced me to get over it - both the women here on DRN and in real life. I also knew someone here was worried that I'd give up riding because of her encouraging me to get a bigger bike & there was no way I'd let that happen. Sorry for the long reply, but I honestly hope that helps some as I do know what you're going through. Feel free to email me at any time if you want to talk. I know I'm in a slightly different situation than you (I don't do MX, just trail riding). Michelle [/QUOTE]
