Yellow feaver applies to more than Cub's I have an '02 Suzuki DRZ 400S that I run both dirt and SuperMoto (SM) trim on. Here's a mix of old and less old pictures of the bike. It didn't get out much this year with the whole buying a house deal and spending all my time on a remodel...

Oh yeah, they will be checked out, straightened if necessary.

Nice bike! I keep a old CRF around for when I feel the urge to go bashing through the trees.

Each summer I ride a few AMA D14 enduros.

My friends dad was into hill climbing and when he sold his quad I asked why and his response was "when its riding you more than your riding it then its time to sell it"

I don't compete - I'm rather new at the two-wheel gig. Your CRF is very sharp looking. I hope someone (besides KTM) will make a 450 that is factory street legal and has the reliability of some of the greats: DR/DRZ/XR/KLR... We want performance and relieability - if it can be had. Come on Japan!!!

Until then the DRZ will have to do - I can't afford to go Orange.

Not sure the two play well together. The high revving nature of the modern four stroke, will always require "race schedule" (expensive) maintenance.

The one I posted earlier is a 250.

I did spend some time racing a 2006 Honda CRF450R, I thought it was quite reliable, for what it was. But it was too much of a handful in the woods. It was not very forgiving, when you got fatigued and made any mistakes. The 250 is plenty fast, it is more capable than the rider!

Back in the day, I was riding XR's, when XR's weren't cool!

ATK offered a kit to put the drivetrain from an XR, into one of their frames. Less than 25 were ever built, but I was one of the silly fools that built one.

The first time I built it, I used a 1986 XR600R, that I had bought new. I flogged that iteration for several years.




Then later rebuilt it with a 1991 donor bike, got me better forks, rear disc brake and an 18" rear wheel.







Spent a lot of time with that motorcycle.

I sold it not long after I rode a CRF for the first time.

And yes, the "orange" guys (KTM) are everywhere! Every race is like a pumpkin patch, flying through the woods!

Gonna pull the carbs off this 1100 Maxim today, Im trying to sell it but theres no vacumn while cranking so its being a pita to start. I bought it last year thinking I would ride it but then found an 1100 Shadow I like better, Maxim should be an easy sell if I get it starting properly.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
