Default Apex ride today!

Haven't been riding for a few weeks so I wasn't in the best shape! I had the worst case of arm pump that I can remember. It just woudn't go away! Aris on the Kawasaki has raced MRAN on and off for the last 30 years and is still very fast! The way I was riding today I was lucky just to keep him in sight. Rob, the guy out front was out of reach for me all day. Maybe I can do better tomorrow! Must be getting old or something!

They put brand new 500cc two stroke motors in brand new 450F aluminum frames. The last year for the KX500 was 2004 so if you want a brand new 500 in a brand new frame Service Honda is one of the best!

Very sick bikes!

I can't imagine the crazy power/weigh ratio on those things.

My old IT465 was scary fast in it's time but.....

Thanks for the 411.
