[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 29804, member: 40"] Sorry the time was too short for me to find you guys out there. I got in about 100mi in two days of riding. On Sat afternoon by Invader I climbed a hill, put foot on ground and touched easily and then the wind blew me over and on the ground. Sat nite was 40-50 mph. NICE!! Well, if James had been on something other than a 230 he may have done a little better. Those bikes wont get out of their own way. Now about the set-up complaint.:cry: Whatever!! :shocked:Twist it on the right side and hang on. Use ALL the brakes to slow down. Now not to bag on James, but track guys in general who have not ridden trails, and especially the dez, are always talkin shite and usually dont come back for a 2nd trip.
