RIDE REPORT: Opening Day, MX track
I awoke from my short slumber around 11 o'clock this morning. I had gotten back from a heavy metal concert in downtown Detroit at around 5 o'clock this morning so I was still pretty tired. But I called up my friend Chase as asked him if he wanted to ride. He agreed so I told him I'd be there in a while because I had to go and get some gas from town. A little while later I was ready to rip in my KGPL gear. I took off down the road to a 2-track to go over to Chase's house. I was kind of nervous because there are a lot of hunters moving through the woods, but I kept the RPM's down and made it on over to Chase's. He was just getting his KXF out of the barn when I pulled in. We chatted for a bit and then went out to his track. Now, my 03 had one heck of a hit, (and I have a scar to prove it) but the 04 was nice and smooth which made me think that it may have been weaker. This was not the case. The motor pulled nice and long through the turns and down the straights. The other noticeable part was the suspension. IT WAS B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! I could hit the largest jumps, skip across the deepest bumps, and case the biggest landings with ease. I rode close to 6 hours this afternoon, with only a few breaks. I just couldn't pull myself off of the bike. Finally, it was getting pretty dark so I decided to ride home. It was worth the 3 week wait. I can't wait to try it out on the trail in December (granted there is not much snow)!!!!
Thank you Napper for setting it up so perfect!
Thanks Fred for selling it to me!!!
