As Fred and I mentioned Saturday night, we had help on the HS track. I wish we had a few other plaques for Grady, Paddy, and Chopper Dave. The five of us were out there on mini bikes. Fred and I had pouches for the arrows/staplers AND automatic clutches...both made the job easier!

Apparently you guys gave the Buster Who award to the right guy. I rode for the first time sense DW today, and snaped the kickstarter off the KX....... :|

 

[biglou]

Sell that thing and get a blue bike Matt! (You know you want to... :p )

 

[YZ165]

Yes I do Lou.....Yes I do......

 

[fatherandson]

Do a complete upgrade and go ORANGE!!!!!!!

 

[motometal]

I didn't know they still made orange plastic for KXs. I'm assuming you can't possibly be referring to switching to a KTM... :p

 

[YZ165]

Although my birthday is on Haloween, and I do like orange, I will never, I mean never, buy a KTM. My blood runs blue, Yamaha Blue!

 

[Grady]

Easy now young fella.

Should somebody get a poll going of which colors of bikes blow up the most?

I don't recall an orange scoot having problems 2 weeks ago, there was a green one though (with camo black). :nener:

(any mention of Eddies bike, not allowed :| )

I rode Red/Green/Yellow/Blue bikes for 30 years, then saw the Orange light :cool:

 

[VintageDirt]

I rode orange when orange was white and blue was white too but blue was yellow before that so I ride red now but my Maico is red too but it's busted and come to think of it my first orange bike was green but not the green like todays green bikes, my first bike was white too and it was a '69 but it would be blue if it was today.

Wes, Wes, Wes. :coocoo:

Me Too! :uh:

Yep them yellar bikes that are now blue after being white too, I used to have one when it was blue the first time. Red used to be white before all red and some yellow ones are still yellow now. Green has been green for a long time and orange used to be white, red, blue and 2 shades of orange.

 

[motometal]

and here I thought GWB always meant "gay white boots"...it may have a double meaning. Yes, some of the white plastic on my old KTM 495 turned yellow and got ugly just like my boots.

Yet you still go by YZ165 ... LOL!! The worst problem I ever had with a Yamaha was bad technical advice from a local shop. 25 years of Yamaha, and they are all still running, some with new owners, but I still see them out there.

35 years here. I would REALLY like to have another Dirtweek so we could start some new threads!

 

[wardy]

it would be cool but whole the hell still rides anymore! I bet over 50% from the last dirt week in 2005 doesn't ride anymore. and that's a conservative number my guess.

 

[Rich Rohrich]

I still ride... poorly, but that isn't news. There is even a new Beta in my garage that needs to find it's way to Fox Valley for some proper trails to point it at :)
