i dont get it the world is changing right before me eyes! the year i started racing i wanted to be like mcgrath on a YZ250, 2 strokes where the bike to have there fast lite and cheap to rebuild its $300 to do a top end on my KX500 my buddy has a CRF450R and its over a grand to do his!! i just dont get why everyone is going over to a thumper? a 450 thumper puts out about 45hp, the 2005 KX250 put out 54hp ok i know hp is not everything but everyone that buys a thumper your killing off the 2 stroke!!!!! 9 years ago when i started racing 9 out of every 10 bikes was a 2 stroke now its one out of every 20 is a 2 stroke, please help save the 2 stroke

you know there is a big problem these days in the sport that we love so much! Its the bickering between us, we need to get along! Or at least be a little respectful to other riders we all share the same intrest the same love, so why cant we get along? if we keep going in the same fashion we WILL lose everything we hold dear! so please next time you see a rider say hi shake there hand and show a lil respect, a lil respect can a long way you never know you may be on the the trail and they may remember that lil hand shake and just help you out! Every time we see a hiker pull off the trail SHUT your bike off and say hello!!!!!
