    Remember when I was in your garage and looked in horror when you told me you had not started it in months and no Stable, that's why, those carbs are crazy complicated. The anti Lectron if you will. Nice work though, now you know all bout FCR's, the learning continues. :cheers:

    Cool video and I remember seeing some rocks (like that big square one) on trails in GPNF ...

    You were making those obstacles look very easy on that WRWB machine .. :)

    Thanks! I was telling someone on that ride that I enjoy it when I feel like I have to work for it, and those trails make you work for it! I enjoy the fast, flowy stuff a lot as well, but a trail of that thrown in just rounds out the day nicely. That rock was so symetrical, I had to make sure it wasn't concrete!!!

    It was nice to see you go up and over that downed tree. If I tried going under it like the other guy my big stupid ass would have been stuck lol.

    I love the slower technical stuff. Kind of miss living in the east now. Being where I am in colorado a lot of it is high speed and makes me a little nervous. Kind of funny considering 150mph on a sportbike is just fun but in the dirt 5th gear scares me lol

    Blake and I did a killer ride yesterday. Fantastic conditions (snow mostly gone) and super fun blasting the 165's around. Where's the vid slacker?

    I was just wondering if it was a 2 or 4 stroke. Seems like a great trail for something like the 165's.

    I'm starting to have doubts on four strokes. I was bored and looked at all the typical threads and then I started wondering into the 2 stroke forum. I wish I never did lol. Now instead of deciding between a 449 or 310 I've added the 165 and wr250 to the list. I've never ridden a 2 stroke though so ill more than likely stick with a 4.

    Either way, keep up the videos!

    2 stroke.

    If you ride tighter woods the 165 is really hard to be fun wise. Lots of people here went from 4 to 2 strokes the last few years. Every bike is a trade off.

    Like Kelly said, trade offs... I am one of those "converts" he is talking about! I went from a 450 4t to a 125 2t. I have NEVER looked back.. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER... I traded brute power for handling. The 450 has about 5x the power I can use on a trail, and handles like a turd... The 125 was low in the power department, but handled like a dream. Now I'm on a 165. I almost NEVER want more power, and it still handles like a dream...

    I would of never just jumped in a bought a 125 without riding one first. Lucky for me, several people i know are riding these things, so getting my hands on one wasn't hard, but that's what I recommend for you. Try to find someone with a 2st, ride it for a minimum of 15-20 miles in the woods, and see what you think.

    But be really careful of that ride if your not ready to spend some money. There are a lot of 125/144/165's running around here for a reason. Sometimes there are upwards of 5 or more on one ride. FUN!!!
