[QUOTE="MWEISSEN, post: 818941, member: 16873"] Kalkaska ride: Well, there were about 30 trucks in the lot, but this trail system swallows up a lot of bikes, and I only ran into two quads in the time I was there. It was Cristie's first outing with her lights, and she looked pretty She got a lot of looks and "what's that? I've never see a Honda like that". Well, I guess I accomplished what I wanted to, something really unique. The trail was surprising tacky, hardly any dust. My favorite sections of single track have now been quaded to oblivion, a scene repeated many times over throughout Michigan unfortunately. The motor was perfect as it has been since I made my changes. However, after riding Badgerman's MX-Tech modified YZ250F a couple weeks ago, my suspension feels hard as a rock. Badgerman has that suspension absoluely DIALED! I think he's got a benchmark for smooth yet solid fork and shock action. My shock isn't far off, but it looks like new valves will be in order for the front this fall. It'll give me something to do during the riding seasons. I switched to ProTaper AC3 bars after having cut down my old KTM bars a little too far. The AC3's, and the SE's that have replaced them, have 5mm thick aluminum that is bored to accept bar ends at the tips of the bars. With these bars I get NO vibration from the engine through the bars, something I didn't expect. They fell pretty rigid, and I really like the Doug Henry bend I selected. The extra weight from the lighting doesn't seem to have any effect on the bikes handling. I got a few miles out, then started feeling really bad. I went back to the truck, rested a bit, then went back out. I went about two miles out and felt even worse. By the time I got back I had a heck of a time holding the bike up, and barely got it loaded. I headed back, and was sicker than a dog for the next two days. Fever, leg cramps, headache, this time I my heart was throwing PVC's for a couple hours. This is getting pretty frustrating! Off to the doc again this week. I've got to get to the bottom of this. Anyway, it was great to get back out on the Kalkaska. I didn't get back far enough to hit one of my favorite spots - tight switchbacks up and down a two-mile long ridge - but I guess I'll save that for next year. I still hope they're single track, I really couldn't imagine quads getting into that section anyway. It's too far from the parking lot. Fatherandson, thanks for the invite to the LMC grounds! I'm sorry I saw it too late. Hope to see you October 24. [/QUOTE]
