Very nice job on the harness!!!  Where did you get all the connectors?  If I ever get enough money to get the old TS185 going, I'm going to have to do the same thing, previous owner ripped out just about everything related to street-legal equipment.

Another good thing about the 18" tire is that with a taller sidewall, they are much easier to change than the 19."

Jeez, in Maine we don't even need chainsaws for that.  I had the exact same thing happen to my truck (much smaller tree though) in the big ice storm of 2008.  A maple tree broke and came down right on the hood and windshield.

I remember watching him at the Unadilla USGP back in the early '80's, an incredible talent.  Of course, being from the US, I had to root against him, but not completely because I loved Suzuki's back then!!!  RIP Georges....

I could have sworn I saw Jetz run over a velociraptor on a 2013 Maico last week.  Or maybe it was the empty case of Long Hammer IPA on the floor......

If you can find any non-politically biased reports, the average temperature of the earth has been cooling for more than a decade now.  Don't believe everything you hear on CNN and MSNBC......

Unless you are an Expert or Pro rider, I would really concentrate on suspension and handling before major motor work.  Pipe, silencer, light porting, and VForce reeds should be all you would ever need, head work might require race gas, big $$$!.  I'm an old NESC racer from the '80's, Southwick was always my favorite track.  But at my best I was a top C rider, even got my picture in Buckley's Motosport magazine a few times.  At that, my lap times at Wick were always faster on my 125's than my 250's.  More HP does not always turn into lower lap times, but better suspension always does.

I talked to Jo Jo at MX207 last year.  I also remember that purple Bettencourt's jersey!!!

It looks very similar to the Gas Gas.

I'm sure it is for proper fitment around the modern frames and much lower gas tanks, not for any performance gains.

I don't get down to NESC races in Mass anymore, I stick with the Maine Motocross series @ MX207 and Hemonds.  I would love to get back to Southwick sometime, that was always my favorite track as a teenager.

I raced at the same tracks with both of them back in the '80's, but definitely not in the same classes!!!

I second the YZ.  I also like the handling of the newer KTM's but nothing older than the '07 model.
