Still no riding :(

Geez two cracked ribs and now both bikes are broken, i've had  like 3 rides in the last 3 months which really sux. The raptor is still waiting to be put back together with its new 5th and pinion gears and selector fork now arrived from Japan . The YZ has a broken fork dampener rod.... seems i've been riding with only one working fork for some time. That would explain the constant bottoming of the front end and my zero confidence pushing the front end into corners, thought it was cause i cant stand up but one fork with no dampening at all would have played a big part. I cat wait to go riding again, should be able to jump a bit bigger and hopefully have a bit more confidence in the front end not washing out on me.


I've been looking very closely at the KTM 450SX of late, with its electric start i think it would be the prefect bike for me. Hopefully this will be my next project but i still have to save up some more $$$$ before that can start.


My Leatt Brace just arrived the other day and i've fitted it up, seems to be quite comfortable and i think after a couple of rides i wont even know its there, all i need now is a working bike to test it with!!!! Anyways thats about it, YZ will be at least 3 weeks from even getting parts, Raptor should be running in 2 weeks. 

L8R!
