    How did you stall a 2 stroke with a Rekluse? :busted: I know, I know you had to re-start it every time you had to turn it off waiting for others! :applause:

    I purposely tried to stall Kelly's bike when I was riding it a couple times, I succeeded one time on a steep hill just making it try to idle up it. The new motor lugs down better then mine for sure, much better.

    The thing about the hill in that video is it is much steeper than it looks and there is about 5 feet of run to a 3' vertical wall at the bottom. There is only a few guys I ride with that I take to that climb.

    The only one to make it over the top clean is a former top 10 AA racer and Champ class trials rider.

    His idle is to low and keep dieing. Very irritating as you can't push start it. BTW i seem to remember you stalling your 450 all the time with a rekluse :doh: Unhook your button and then tell me you don't need / want it. :D

    That is high praise coming from you! Kelly confirms this with his riding in the video. Lugs better than your bike...wow! Juicy middle...look out! It's hard to believe that you get all that in a 125's weight class. I think a 2010/2011 TC 250 should be your next bike...have you started saving those pennies?

    That's different...more of a bike issue! I had a Rekluse on my 2001 Honda CR 250...was 1/2 the rider I am today...it never stalled, ever...even when I was completely thrown off the bike. By the way, I did try and kick my 450...not fun, but a great workout. I love the button.

    This is why Ken can get his bike up anything...

    BTW tried the new Motoz Enduro S/T's and WOW they rule the wet slick stuff. Everyone who tried my bike was like wow, the power and those tires make this bike amazing. Amazing braking power too.

    Nice...I got got me a set of those! So, they rule the slick stuff, but how are they as an overall tire for the stuff we ride?

    Also, when do we get a 2009 WR 125 vs 2010 TXC 250 comparo'!

    That took a bit of a setback last week... I get to cover a $500 deductible and a $175 ticket for failure to yield out of a parking lot. The car was invisible I swear! :banghead: Also when we got home from my parents the freezer was locked in defrost mode from a power surge... Everything was ruined, including the Pergo floor under the fridge.:eek: Luckily for us the fridge resumed normal operation after a Windows style reboot.:excuseme:

    Last week was a vacation I want to forget. :cool:
