    In rebuilding my 83-500XC I decided to put the 500 in my 82-CR250 chassis. Reason is the 83 up bikes I end up riding bowlegged from the shock mounts/side panels. I have a bad RH ankle and size 13 boots the tops are always catching the side panels. Plus I think the 82.5 Silver Streak is cool so why not replicate one? Kinda in a moral dilemma about the pipe. My 83 pipe is perfect, very low hour bike. I dont have a problem modifying it for the 82 chassis but I do plan on building my own pipe for it over next winter. Question is I hate to modify it if someone is restoring a 83-84 and could use a very nice pipe? Anyone have a 82.5 500 pipe? Thanks Scott

    Very kid friendly. Lots of room and a seperate kid's track for the 50's .

    Don't cross the owner though, he can be a *********.

    MX track is evo friendly ( no doubles) and the GP course is super EVO friendly.

    DO NOT let him sucker you into a race, cause it wont be one, trust me.

    At least his dust will have settled on the track by the time you get there.
