450 brain picking

Glad to hear it! How was the hardtail experience? Keen to see some pic's of your travels...

It was good. Having a kindny belt is pretty key and I am prety used to rideing a hard tail anyways. Not going to lie it probably one of the most brutal thing I have put my body and kind through. But acually kapt running into the same crop of dudes so we just jammed out and it turned in to more of just a ride then a rafe for me. I can handle beeing 6th for the fact all I wanted to do is make it. Tell you what if you are west vergina ride hwy 50 through the apelation mts. It is a kick in the pants. One of the funnest twisty roads I have ever ran.

Cool, and a kidney belt sounds like a great idea! Never ridden a hard tail myself, not something that's ever appealed to me personally... but yeah the belt sounds like it would help a heap!

Glad you made it ok and hopefully you get back just as good.

These 450's are great little machines!

I finally made it home to washington state tuesday at 7am. Put nearly 8600 miles in 16 days on that little 450 and it is still kicking a$$. Now plan on having my old lady take it apart; get the frame powder coated, repaint tins, go through the top end then have her put it back together then it will be hers to rip. To all if ever in north carolina a must see is the wheels through time museum in maggie vally, that place will blow your mind. I will post some pics in the next few days. If any one would like I could post in the trips area with some of the stories of our adventure. Contains evrything you could imagine. From the race to naked girls, arrests, speedos, wall of death, tornados and some of the coolest scooters and funniest dudes I have ever met... Thank you to every ones help pointing me in the right direction to keep that little suzuk alive and strong.
