    Had a blast this weekend. Went out to Bend and road the high dez. Good mix of fast stuff (like pinned) and some semi technical stuff in the gullies / hills. Really fun, beautiful weather, great friends, no mishaps. Pretty much what riding is all about...

    Nice photos, guys! Looks like a really scenic place to ride. I love the high desert and want to spend some more time in eastern OR in the future. Keep those photos comin'!

    About the same acceleration wise. The CR for sure has more power but really any 250 + bike pinned is pretty close in a drag race these days. They all make 40 + HP. You might have notice 2 CR500's in the pix. One was a AF500 conversion with aluminum frame. It was setup horrible and feels like a 20 YO bike. The other steel framed original CR500 is highly massaged with a wide tranny, Rekluse, pipe, coil, flywheel weight, suspension etc. Lots of money in that one and it is great out there. Works very well and fun to ride.

    Jakes TXC250 also continues to impress and is a BLAST. The handling is ridiculous.
