[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 207131, member: 3959"] [USER=1650]@ossagp[/USER] , I dont know what the long travel XR is, but thank you for the offer. Right now I dont know that it's necessary. If it lowers the seat height, I think I like the height right now. But what is it? As for the ride...when we got to the trail it was closed, [B]No Motor Vehicles Beyond This Point[/B]. It seems this is not unusual. The state will take my $$$ for the OHV sticker then limit where I can ride (BFE); no surprise there in today's effed up state of the nation. We ended up just finding a remote chunk of desert off the beaten path and rode for about 2-1/2 hours. As far as the bambino, lets say he had a good day, and learned a lot. He got frustrated a lot because he couldn't figure out how to get moving, and kept killing the engine. Turns out he would kick the shifter down one time and assume he was in first when he was in 2nd or 3rd. He didn't connect the visual of me kicking my down 10 times to something that he should do as well, my bad. But he's learning, and he'll get it tomorrow. As far as the XR - it performed flawlessly, better than expected, and after 25 years of not riding a dirtbike, it was plenty for me, and will be perfect for him in another year. His 80 ran sweet as well and the tow strap I brought along was unnecessary. We we're both a bit whooped when got home so we showered then took a nap. And my neck is now stiff. The KLX engine will get removed this coming week and measurements taken. [/QUOTE]
