We have the same CRF100 too. It's surprising how hard that clutch pull is, on a beginner bike, that Honda's had umpteen years to refine for their target market (= kids graduating from 'automatic" bikes and their dad saying "trust me, it's better than automatic"). I lengthened the clutch arm 20% and its still harder pull than all my full size bikes even the 500. Crazy. Kids fight over their mom's bike just for the easier clutch pull.

And speaking of trials bikes,,,,, headed out to scout for feed (for a hungry sawmill),,,,, (sold the BX, still have the GasGas)

KTM 500EXC in winter garb. Praying for snow (which did not come last season).
:thumbdown:
Disappointing weather. Was thinking I might as well build a FEL for it.

This will raise your heart rate....

Thats somethin'.

The headbutt-er seems oddly confident, just marching right in there to challenge those angry parents for their unreasonable outburst (kids, home etc who do they think they are?)

Hey Sodo,

What does a winter setup like that cost? Do you still lean like on tires?

$5 - $6000. And the bike was a 'last years' model 2013 for $9,000. It takes about 2 hours to switch between wheels / track.

Look at Timbersled Products, Inc.
Yes you lean like a motorcycle, but you can cross a sidehill balanced vertical (like a motorcycle). Lots of folks say they aren't buying sleds anymore (those who ride in the mountains). Polaris knows whats happening, they purchased the Timbersled company a couple weeks ago. I bet Polaris will make a hybrid.
