I am still considering all offers and all bikes that I requested. I'm financially ready to buy but not in a mad rush. I'm looking for the right bike to suit my needs - I come from a family of riders so my Pentons will be in the family for many years to come. Keep the offers coming!

Thank you.

Mike, I would be interested in that small MC5 style tank if you want to part with it.

Thanks for all the nice comments on my Penton guys!  I helped set up the Jack Pine enduro so I could not race it for the point series. The club members were kind enough to let me ride exhibition with my Penton on Minute #1 with my two good friends. I didn't beat it up too bad as I kept it on 2 wheels all day. Had tons of fun that's fo sho!I can see a single track fall color tour trail ride in the mix....

PS. Hey "Trouble Maker" same time next year?....

Bottom line is that there is nothing you can put down your throat on race day to mask the problem of being out of conditioning. I could go on and on about the importance of conditioning but most people can determine their faults in this department.  Racers should be looking for a drink to feed & hydrate the body depending on the type and duration of the race event. Simple sugars will pick you up momentarily but will slam you down quickly. Most often they will cause muscle cramps as well as stomach cramps. Hydration should start a few days before race weekend. If you try to hydrate the morning of by drinking all you can get your hands on you will more than likely dehydrate yourself like most riders do. Your body can only digest 16 to 20oz of water an hour, any more than that will only start the dehydration process. The same goes for food consumption during a race – For instance eating at resets during an enduro. Your body can only digest between 260 to 280 calories an hour. Any more than that and you will be upsetting the blood flow that carries the much need oxygen to your muscles due to having to digest the extra food/calories in you put in your stomach.

This is the product I use: http://www.hammernutrition.com/ There is a ton of reading on this website to properly hydrate & feed your body. Just search through their products.

Does anyone know if these pipes will bolt up to a 77'GS6 175cc?

Thanks,

Thanks Tom for your reply. Yes my bike has the "Turtleback hi-breather" so if you know of anyone that wants to part with a tank for this 175cc I would greatly appreciate it. I'll call on the pipe tomorrow. Thanks again.

Yes that would be me. I rode for Don for a couple years. Dirt Works was one the best shops ever in business! Good memories of back then. I'm still riding enduros & hare scramble as well as a mountain biking fanatic. How bout you? I thought I seen you at a couple of snow flake rides...
