Thanks! I will be doing a full bottom end rebuild and making it alot faster this winter. There will be lots of pictures. But its going to be 440cc when im done. New stroker crank. All bearings in bottom end. New oil pump. I have a large box of oem honda parts and alot of aftermarket go fast parts ready to make the motor new again. Been straining the metal out of the oil way too long to not do the whole deal.

This sounds like an exciting build 🙂

When a thread has a new post I get a notification on my mobile device however, the forum only shows a letter (the first letter of the respondents name) rather than their profile picture.. Is this a glitch or....?

Thought it best be mentioned.

Welcome aboard TB 🙂

You know the gopro will be on to catch the carnage if i do one. Gotta get the wife on board. Gunna be a long shot haha

Haha.. If it's anything similar to here them it's certainly a lot safer than track racing. A LOT more technical, especially the sections in the woods! DO IT, DO IT.. Haha

I'll have to get some photos tomorrow, this is a good thread 🙂

And there lies my downfall. Im not into fitness at all. I just ride into shape haha. Dont get me wrong i weigh 175-180 but my stamina is the issue lol. Too many 12oz. curls if you catch my drift !.

Haha.. I'm sure in clubman (working man's) class you'll be close to top of the results. It's a bit of fun isn't it at the end of the day 🙂 Being up there with the top guys is nice but if it goes wrong it usually goes disasterously wrong, as I'm sure you well know. 

Hope you manage to get a few XC rides, I think you'll love it. Don't forget to get some footage 🙂

I wouldn't hesitate to take your EX for a quick spin, I'm a die hard adrenaline junky, if it's fast, has a big motor or has any kind of thrill factor you can count me in haha!

I think you'll absolutely love the XC (enduro) scene SR. Here in the UK all the top guys are super fit, clearly gym goers, the bikes vary. To me it seems fitness is key to winning.

Edit: Check out Graham Jarvis (ex trials rider) and David Knight. Both ride MX bikes but XC/enduro is the same no matter what you ride I guess.

Sea to sky & chase the wolf looks a right blast!! 🙂

Welcome aboard brother! Glad you made it out of the sandbox. It was like you were in time out lol

Thanks SR. Yeah I had some kind of glitch on my emails, they were delayed for some reason. Rebooted my WiFi router and all is good again 🙂

Glad to be here, glad to see familiar faces 🙂

A warm welcome to all 🙂
