But I have new rings and internals in the YZ and have to go easy on it for a few hours.. A trials run up LMS doesnt sound like a good gentle running it in day.
Mixing trials and motorcross bikes in one group sounds like hard to find harmony.

It's an MX bike dude, 3 blips and it's run in!
alexuk said:hey max, does that go up to footprint of the buddha?
I'll be there friday, but maybe I can pick up my yam in mae rim and join you there?
Wouldnt want to miss the way to mae rim tho...
LivinLOS said:Well I wasnt thinking it was going to get 500kms !! But thought a gentle first day makes sense ?? 4 or 5 hours of 50 - 70%.. Also dont want to be deep in a trail and discover a teething issue and or cook it first outing.

MastaMax said:Here is a very flowing trail, nothing tricky. Only technical bit is the turtle trail, but it's just a few hundreds of meters.
What about meeting Friday at the 700 years stadium 9:30am?
From there we'll see if we can get into the moo baan to the huay tung tao trail, last time I went they had a barrier (but it was still new and wrapped up in plastic).Otherwise we'll ride to huay tung tao on the road.

this trail looks like it finishes close to where i live so it will be a bit awkward for me because I will have to go to the 700 stadium in my truck then drive on the roads to get back for my truck , my bike is terrible on the roads (slow high revs) so might just have to wait until my KTM arrives then meet up for a N.O.B ride ..

Not my best day out... If you can call it lucky, it was my first day trying out some new thor leg / knee guards.. Thank feck for all the armor I have been feeling a bit over blown in, cos I took a fairly high speed off, didnt have a chance to bleed speed off before impact like you some times do, and had a very abrupt stop. Thanks to the 661 pressure suit and the thor leg bits I didnt get hurt as much as i could have.
Just one of those fast ones, we had been fishtailing around as the trail was a bit greasy, all good fun so far, then the rear stepped out with a rut, I really thought I still had it, but the rut that was pushing it wide wasnt just straight, and just kept pushing it further, more and more lock wasnt saving me and it just flipped me sideways full speed into a bank on the left. Very solid that old mother earth thing.
My right hand and arm got tweaked, the arm went under the bar and on impact the hand and fingers were rotated back, that joints not supposed to go 180 apparently.. Some ibuprofen (note to self, put some in the kit) and help from all (alex especially in riding the YZ clutchless and letting me use the KLX as best I could) got me out and as the day wore on was even able to get the bike from Rossis and not leave things everywhere, which is always nicer than waking up the next day thinking 'oh god I messed up yesterday' with things to solve. I might have a cracked rib too, it sorta hurts at the sternum, I have cracked ribs before but always at the side and its usually a lot more painful than this, but I sneezed last night and that made the old eyes water. must have impacted the bike, bars or something.
Will be out today to try to find a lever or lever and perch, noticed later have bent the spanny chamber back to the frame but reckon thats not going to effect it, also think I need to play with the jetting a touch too.. If the hand recovers as I hope should be out next week.
Thanks to all for the assistance.
No I havent been for X rays... But it isnt broken.. 100%.. Have broken enough to know when it is.
It just torqued all the ligaments and connecting tissue, thats why initially it was burning and I did think from the first pain it was bust, but its settled down. The index fingers still not right but like I said, the impact wasnt a drop and slide or slip and bleed speed first.. It was slip and whallop, stop. It could have been a lot worse given the way it happened.
I'll be good, just hopeful I can find a lever setup in town and not be waiting on bits.
Video and Photo's required please.
as you can see I dont know how to youtube on the new forum
