1991 KX500



In 1991 this was the fastest dirt bike on the planet. When I got done modifying it, this was the fastest dirt bike in the universe. This bike was the ultimate, Dirty Rice Rocket.

I hope your wife invested in a good life insurance policy on you.

You can take the boy out of the Circle but you can't take the Circle out of the boy.

I know the feeling, ouch. That is why I like to just cruse. Take it easy and slow, enjoy the ride.
The 2 times I've been down, I was doing something stupid. I don't want a third.

Dave, you do still have the thrill seeker in you. And you were smiling, probably still filled with rushing endorphins. After that I can only think "OUCH"...wipeout!!!

Now this would have been the bike for Base-18. Anyone remember that place? I know Jeff does. His Mom use to take us out there to ride. That place was awesome. There was also a kick-ass motocross track on the island. I wonder if it's still there?

Hey that looks just like the bike Mat use to have. I remember he would use blood to lube the chain. I hear that works pretty well, it's just painful as hell.

I had an old Datsun B210 that I and some High School buddies would take out to base-18. It is amazing where a two wheel drive will go with a bunch on idiots in it.

Good thing I married a massage therapist.
