2. Would you happen to know if Budds Creek motorcross is opened to the public for riding or do I have to be a member or in a club? Thanks

 

man i miss my bike, had an '97 KX250. Havnt rode since about '02 or so. I'd love to get back in it just dont have any where to keep a bike at the time. Never raced just rode the local tracks for fun...besides I wasnt that good. Just good enugh to get around the track and have fun while doing it.

 

we dont race but me and my son ride MX every weekend.

i got my son a cheap bike last christmas, a ttr125 by April and i am picking up a crf150r today, hopefully that should hold him a while.

i quit riding when i was 23, started agian this year when i was 41. i truely forgot how much fun it is.

 

tracks are fun, but i was always a hairscramble racer if/when i did race. i was getting pretty fast when i moved, and i hate the trails in texas so i kind of quit riding trails and moved onto tracks but never realy enjoyed that to much.

 

I have raced since I was 5, and my daughter used to ride. She plays soccer so does not have alot of time for it, but she still has a couple bikes. She will be back on them once soccer season is over.


I dont have the Yamaha anymore. I have an '07 CRF250R




Here is my Daughter on her Pro Sr.







My wife has an '07 CRF150rb. I dont have any pics on this computer though.

 

stx4mx, those little crf150r's are quick! i was startin a hairscramble with one next to me, it was on my back wheel the whole way down before the first turn, then he wrecked so i didnt get to see much more of the bike and how well it performed. i was shocked on the performance that is coming out of that little motor

 

Dude, they fricken scream!!!!!!!


My wife did not like using the clutch, so I put a rekluse pro auto clutch in it. The one that still uses the clutch, so you can slip it through the turns.

I love riding her bike almost as much and my 250r. It is a blast, and just try to keep the front wheel down. OMFG! I can put it in 2nd, twist and go, and ride a wheelie as long as I want, shifting the whole way, and I weigh 175lbs.

I can only imagine what I would have been able to do with this thing if they had them back when I racing mini's and only weighed 100lbs.

 

i heard once you use a rekluse you wont ever ride a bike with out one. well i went to utah this summer and the guy who i rented the bike from (ktm 525 bored to 540, front end off 04 ktm teams race bike) and i requested him to take off the rekluse cuz i can't afford one!

 

LOL, I will always be a clutch guy. It makes for a fun play bike, but I would not want one on a race bike.

Even with the rekluse, I was still clutching it like crazy. I grew up racing those 2 strokes. Always had a finger on the clutch. A habbit I will never grow out of.


I grew up in Upstate NY. I raced alot at Broome Tioga, and Unadilla. Talk about hills. Plus would run hair scrambles to help work on reaction times. Those trees jump out at ya!

 

ya, while i was in moab i hit a big rock behind some grass doing about 45mph. cracked my helmet and my arm was SCREWED. didnt break anything but its still barely bruised 3 months later. thats not my elbow btw.


only bad crash i have ever had in my 8 years of riding. bar width trails are the best. get you in really good shape

 

Ouch, that looks painful.


You have had more luck then I. It started when I was 12 with a broken ankle, and just spiralled from there.

I have broken my collar bone, both ankles, both wrists, blew out both knees, and apparently I broke a vertabrae in my neck, but did not find out until years later after a car accident.


But, I will never quit. When I was a kid, there was a guy racing who was 81 years old. Ran the vintage woods class. Never went fast, but never missed a race. He was a cool guy.

 

I live in NYC now but I grew up b/t NYC and NC. Where are you at in NC?
