report

Guys, We just completed the first round of the Nevada State Moto X Championship and the 05 FC 550 rocked. This track was very supercross oriented but the old girl got two holeshots, and led every lap. Everybody was asking me how it handled and if it has been reliable and I said just watch...

well, we had the 1st rnd of the british enduro champs up the road this weekend so went into work on friday and gave myself the weekend off. 2 days spent riding around the hafren forest marshalling and making sure the race went ok, though we needn't of worried as the route was one of the...

i know the board has been suffering in my absence (lol). sorry to let y'all down. it's my first day at work after a memorial day accident (compound fracture of the femur). if you're bored, check out http://www.motosapiens.net/brokenleg.html for the full story, and preop and post op xrays. it...

I have spend two weekends riding my new 06 Fe550e in the local woods trails. My review is: Wow what a well balanced machine. Power everywhere as you'd expect but it's the delivery and smooth riding sensation of all that power that has me giddy like a little kid. though the stock gearing...

Hi Bergers, Just got back and thought I'd post a pic from am day 1, ready to go. More to follow soon, just driven 7 hours, so its now tucker time, beer and bed. A great time was had by all and I expect that we'll all add to this thread in due course. Cheers Steve...

I decided to race the WORCS race the 31st after verifying that no logs and tires and bears were a part of the course, lol. All of us SIDRA members were to start at 4:45 in 3 waves with a live engine start. (Nothing like waiting all day long before your race … allows proper time to freak...

Well I just got back from my first trip to the Oregon Dunes in Florence. Though I've been riding for last 20 years or so, its always been dirt,gravel or street. This was also the first real test for my recently acquired 03 FE400e. I went with the bike bone stock, recent service done,15 hours on...

Hey there guys, I've got the first part of the ride report done. I'm not quite sure when I'll get this finished, as I'm still trying to catch up, but I'm finishing the days as time permits. I will post here to let you know when another day is up. Also, as I say every time I do a ride...

Just got the new Dirt Rider in the mail and they had a update on thier FE 650. It was real positive report stating that with 90hrs. on the bike it was running better than ever.

It's been a couple of months since I picked up my new 05' 450 and just now have had a chance to give my report. I have 3 rides under my belt with the bike and I am a happy camper! The best bike I've owned. I live in NC and ride single and double track trails in mountainous terrain and hit...

Had my first ride on my new/used 2005 fe550e. I have to say that I was extremely impressed with this motorcycle. I’ve been riding an fe600e for almost six years, raced hare and hounds and grand prixs a few times, had it on a few several hundred mile dual sport events, and logged many...

I should have done this sooner as it works great! I had 4.6 with 8.8 and the bike was indeed out of balance for a 210 lb rider. The fork was riding in the harsh part of the stroke and now is riding above that most of the time. The back end even works better as a result of the new found...

Check out these first pics of the 07 Bergs. Fryguy, Watt and I took those beautiful black motards for a good rip yesterday afternoon. We all had pretty big grins on our faces when we took our helmets off. Watt and I will ride all the FEs today to break them in and get familiar with the loop...

so i just got back from moab, and i have a few hundred miles on the bike. i rode it once here (80 miles) before putting in dale's jet kit, then spent another day getting that dialed in, so all told i guess i'm up to around 350 miles. aside from the jet kit, the only other non-stock item is the...

Bobzilla and Berger, report to sick bay... Time for your injury report! Well, here is my status: it's been 4 weeks since I flew over the bars at the 11-mile wash. No cast, just a sling and a bottle of pain pills, which I never refilled, and I am glad I did not. The pain from the fracture...

so i got a decent 1/2 day of backcountry skiing in yesterday (saturday) and spent the rest of the day sorting out the bike and checking things. today i hopped up, quick like a bunny, left the house at 7:50, and went in search of places that didn't have snow (i live at 6500', so all the decent...

Well I guess its better late than never for a report of my 05 550. First I must say the bike makes up for my shortfallings as a rider up to a point. I was going to join all of you guys in Phoenix but decided to do a dual sport ride first on the way down. John and I went to Ridgecrest and...

I recently bought a 2006 FE450e, and now have a couple of hundred miles on it. My previous ride was a 2000 FE501, so I guess any comparative statements would reflect mostly on that bike. I like it alot! Can't say what is my favorite thing about it, the motor is magic, suspension is the best I've...

Well, here we are. For reasons known only to yourselves, some of you write me asking when you'll get to hear about the group ride. For reasons I can understand completely, others of you steer clear of it as if it were the plague. If you fit into the latter group, hit the back button on your...

Gentlemen, As day one is drawing to a close let me report on the groups status. Day 1 by sandskipper (Keith): 4:30 pm 1/31/06 Yesterday evening, I arrived at the Bradshaw Mountain RV resort about 4:30pm to find Ned37 (Ned) and cheeseberger (Colby) hanging out at the grounds and...
