Jim was riding when the wheels were made of stone. You can still distract him with an open flame. Also, he doesn't tease, he just doesn't like anybody:D Pat, get some DOT knobs on that 250, if you don't already of course. Made all the difference on my z-400.

[quote][b]Pat P Diddy (8/23/2008)[/b][hr]Sure you can hold my wr250 all you want. It likes to be held. Ok I finally figured out your term of endearment for Jimmy. Is that a Forest Gump reference as in "Ahh lahk gin-nay"[/quote]

LOL not even close... but they way ji-ji-jimmay runs... he could be forest gump... (sorry jim but i'm finally getting a chance to tease ya back :P). the phrase comes from south park... and it really is ta-ta-timmay. if you havent seen the show.. he's a "mentally challanged" kid in a wheel chair, all he says is "timmy" but with all different version and tones. so i (and Danno) switched to Jimmay... but he is also a kid on south part. Jim knows i love him (tee hee) we started out a little rough... but a few beers in danno's van with WTOS and two days a Bull Run..... me and Jim made friends. but he still likes to tease me.... even when he passes me with a double gate... and i'm the first gate. i dont feel to bad i mean the guys an expert vet and has been racing for what 30years +???? tell us Jim.... what year did you start racing?

Believe me I sometimes second guess myself for not getting a 450 for the trails but I manage to do ok in the woods. I'm sure as soon as I ride with other 450's I will probably be envious.

I know I can't wait to get on the track!!! If anybody would let me do a lap on their bike I will be very happy. Anybody? I promise not to crash... unless you want me to of course then I might be able to work something out.

[quote][b]Pat P Diddy (8/22/2008)[/b][hr]I'm using a GoPro camera. They had them at Reynolds for $180 and so I did a lot of research and it seemed the best for the money. Of course there's cheaper ones and very expensive ones and this one I thought had a good price point. I'm very happy with the quality but when I post on youtube it degrades. Gopro recommended I use vimeo which I'm happy with. I can't wait to get to the track with the camera but I'm waiting for the 09's to come out, I have no mx bike.

As for the crash, yes I usually fly through there and jump that every time but my tires are horrendous and I landed with the front tire in the right rut and the rear tire in the center grassy part between the two ruts and it was like ice. My tires do not like grass very much. I'm riding a new Yamaha WR250R I got at Reynolds. I got a small bike because the main goal was to commute to work and save $. It gets 73mpg and I save $15 each and every day I ride it. The fun is a bonus.[/quote]

VIMEO!!! thats the site ive been looking for!!!!! yeah you tube is great but distorts the video. i understand about the bike and gas..... but i was suprized not to see a crf450 or something :P

Same as the previous post, I just figured out how to embed the video on the page and I found the quality on Vimeo is better...
