    After mucho work the 125 is running great! The 40pj was a little lean for this day, which made some of the slow speed climbs tough, but once it opened up the little ripper was a blast. It stops instantly, turns on a dime and it's explosive fast. A real race bike!

    And I'm no lightweight at 210lbs.

    Every time I ride it I grow further and further from the 300, which I never would have thought would happened, but at 35 years old I've finally learned that too much motor hinders handling and braking. I also learned you dont need 50hp to go 25mph in the woods (Thanks again Jake :thumbsup:)

    This is the sister vid to Blake's footage that Kelly posted in the 'Shocking' thread, so some sights may look familiar. Enjoy!
