Well the video is finally uploaded and finished.
Link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7_qDn7HvCgI don't do video for numbers. I don't care if 2 people or 200,000 people watch. I do videos for my friends and family and sorta for a history, a video motorcycle journal. About 5 years ago the doctor told me to go home and get my affairs in order because I likely didn't have long to do so. So I did and also started back riding after 12-15 years off bikes. I mainly started the motorcycle video journal so my kids could see me enjoying every last second that I had.
But the doctors forgot to ask God and so 5 years on, about half lung capacity, and a back surgery later, I'm still here. I'll go home when God calls and not a day before.
So there is no fancy production. So far, no voice overs. I do have some videos up with music backgrounds for fun.
This is just my bro Orangeman (don't blame me, he picked the name) and me riding in the mud, having fun, and testing out the new Beta Xtrainer. We're not showing off or practicing for a race or even doing hard Enduro goat trail stuff. We're just riding and having fun.
But I think you can get a good idea of what the suspension is doing.
You will see me riding Orangeman's bike so he can try the Xtrainer.
For reference, it's a KTM200 that he bought a year and a half ago from some A class guy who had done a lot with the suspension, for example the forks are from a model 3-4 years different. It came with 2 sets of springs, one for Enduro, one for Hare Scrambles. He runs the Hare Scrambles set up. Since he has owned the bike he has fine tuned and tweaked on it and has a pretty good race set up. It's set up for his weight, 185lbs.
Orangeman generally finishes a little above middle of the B class in Hare Scrambles but all our friends lay it on him because he usually runs an A class speed when we're out play riding (not on this day though).
I didn't really edit this for you guys. I put it up for friends and family. My son told me last night to hunt him a bike and he would pay for it. I put these up for friends and family to maybe get inspired like my son did last night and to keep the journal going.
So if you want to see how an old school guy who used to get paid to set up suspension for other people and who got most of his know how from the founder of Race Tech would deal with a dead stock Xtrainer until he got other parts in, then check out the video.
I'll probably also post this in "Videos And Pictures" almost word for word. I would like to start a trend. I like watching other peoples videos and looking at pictures of bikes!
