      that's just a side effect of riding an XR 400. you're gonna pull a wheelie regardless of if you want to :)

    Jeff you are a DUDE! Keep on keeping on! I reckon you got a few years on me Jeff, but I'm 50 this year and what my head wants to do doesn't always equate with what my body wants to do......sometimes they fight with each other🙂! I'm sure you know all about this and i can only hope I'm still a little wild and all my limbs still work in my 60's.
    You never did do the stock vs. XR's only exhaust comparison on that XR650L you tuned up a bit. Did you ever put a performance exhaust on that XR and did it make any difference?
    All the best from the UK👍 I hope that shoulder gets good soon.

    Kaplan America likes them Honda cycles. Had a few myself. *XR75 was 1st real dirtbike. Then went to KX80. Stayed on Kawasaki awhile* . Raced an RM125 in 94-99. Got 00 CR250. Was a beast. Brutal. Then went to Yamaha sport quads & never looked bk! Run YFZ450R & Raptor 700R-SE. Should last a lifetime w/real good maintenance. 👍 #Maxima #TwinAir #Fox #FordTrucks
