Gordon R Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I have been in the process of slowly building another Honda CR500 AF, but it has stalled. My youngest tore knee ligaments and then perforated a disc. His motocross days are over. I will be selling the first Honda CR500AF I built and also the second rolling chassis and engine. Given that he will never ride it, I haven't the heart to carry on with the project. However, he intends to return to trials riding, which doesn't cause the same stress on the body and little or no injuries. Whilst I wait for him to sell his Suzuki RMZ 450, he has bombarded me with photos of trials bikes. He has persuaded my eldest to join him back on trials bikes. Eldest retired from motocross when he broke his back. I am also informed my grandson will be wanting a trials bike. Given the prospect of three trials bikes in the box trailer, my youngest kindly gave me advice (really instructions) on what storage would be needed for all the spares / equipment etc, to maximise floor space for three bikes. When they are not trials riding, the trailer will be used for the twin granddaughters' quad bike. I have spent the last few days working on his "suggestions". There is a drop down table on the right. On the left, two seats from a van are currently buried under a fishing bed. Still a few things to sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Eldest broke his back, but was back in the gym in six weeks. We have owned Honda CR500s x6 (3 of which were aluminium frame hybrids), a 610 Husqvarna, KTM 360, KTM 380, Suzuki RMZ 450 x 2. KTM 450. plus a load more. Quickest was the two stroke KTM 380.

team tractor Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) I keep missing my riding days but have said to the mrs that it’ll never happen again . I only had a light crash really. snapped my wrist , fingers and ribs 😂. I love my cycling instead now but I still broke my ribs 12 months ago . I cracked my sternum 20 years ago riding trials pushbikes . These are my toys now . I’ve owned the left one 21 years 😂and the right one 8 months. The geometry has changed so much Edited October 27, 2022 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
