Maybe I'll put in another 7.3mm damper just becuase the rubber ain't 30 yrs old.

when i was a kid we were on vacation in colorado and there was this guy on a big old dual shock enduro running down the highway with the traffic and he had a license plate.we we had taken a whole lot of dirtbikes to colorado to ride,so i was pretty keyed up about bikes anyways.
so this dude is the coolest thing for me to watch going down the road,and then we get to a little trail beside the road and this dude hits the shoulder,brakes and down shifts nails the trail and roosts outta site !
my jaw dropped,i was like that is the coolest thing in the world!
to be able to ride your dirt bike to work and then hit the trails on the way home :evil: .
i recently got my banshee back out after a two year dirt riding hiatus.
two-strokes are freakin awesome!!!!!!!!

The KZ is on hold for a while because I found a KTM 380EXC with Cali plate! :woohoo: Now I'm swapping parts between all 3 of my KTMs to get all the best stuff on this one and then sell the others. Much work. Flying through the trees on a violent 2 stroke beast is higher priority than working on the KZ.
