i ride too but dont race. the only person i know of who races is bermbuster49.
i just replaced the rings on my dirtbike, not knowing i had to do the gaskets too. waited like 2 weeks for those and put them in today. i was jsut putting the header on when i realized i forgot to put in a spacer. so i take mmy engine apart...again and then when i was taking off the cyliner, i riped my gasket. o well just 2 more weeks of waiting... ive had it for 15 months and been able t ride it about 4. thats what you get for paying $500 for a 1995 xr100.... :(
this is hte main place i ride, i can ride theere in mins from my hosue. no jumps, only whoops tho.
