| Re: I may die soon... Thanks RR, cool deal on the Husky...I'm having mucho fun in the dirt.
BDA, thanks, your sentiments are truly heartwarming, as usual.
Sunny, there's a clause stating that you'll get my strap-on, is that good enough?
LTL, yeah, it's inevitable.  |

Riding trails in SoCal blows. So, it is definately dependant on where you live. |

You won't even need a helmet!
I bet it'll take some sweet jumps. |

| Re: I may die soon... Okay, somebody has to say it...
You are picking up a new bike and you are predicting your demise.
Here it comes.... Benzaknees...do not try to lift it with your back.
(I'm sure you will enjoy the new bike. Can I borrow it?) |

and a brain
CRF-450 is hands downs the best dirt bike, you're gonna love it, Congrats!
Get some Pro Tapers, a good chain and some seal-savers (front fork seals are very sensitive). |

I have a lot of respect for you dirt guys (besides PETE) that can ride these high end machines....everytime I've been on one, it has thrown me on the fricking ground so many times that I couldn't walk for 2-3 days...  |
