Things You Take On a TRAIL RIDE

I don't know if this has been said yet, but it is usually a good idea to take somebody who knows where they are going with you. At the very least, you should bring a good map. Getting lost sucks.

I got lost in the middle of BFE on my CR125. I eventually found my way and made it about 200 yards short of a gas station.

Thanks for the pics rock. That is the one I was looking at but didn't realize ya had to rivet it on. No problem, I got all the tools. Dose it effect the performance at all?  

Some here say if you spend that much on a end cap you might as well get a slip on. What do you think?

Yeah sanders, I got the Zeta shift and break levers and was looking at the Zeta hand guards.

I noticed no difference in the performance of my bike. I got this for my bike because I needed it forest leagal fast. The dealers here had these in stock. I want an exhaust system but they are soooo much $ on four stokes. This works till I can actually get what I want. Unless you can find a smoking deal on Ebay I don't think the slip on is quite as cheap. It really about what you can afford. If you can get a muffler, I would. I just couldn't afford the $500+ for what I want yet. These end caps are just an easy option and so far I'm happy with mine. They are a little expencive for what they are.

I sure dont want to get lost.

And your right rock, a little expinsive for what they are but will do the job just fine.

And kxguy if it were about a year and a half ago I would have taken more then 2 packs.lol but I quite smoking so dont have to worry about that anymore.

I love this dirt stuff.

hey pop you get dirtrider??? if you do and you have the new issue go to page 129 and look at the Ogio hydration pack they will be testing next month. i like it! under 100 bucks, looks great, and looks as though it is designed to basical side perfectly over your chest protector so it wont give you raw spots from rubbing on your skin.
