I got to ride a KTM 250 two-stroke. It was fun, and I was really impressed with it.

@xxbeatlesfan Unpractical, dangerous, emissions, fuel usage, weight. Ive ridden an cr500 and I ate shit within 30 seconds. Ill watch somebody else ride one though!

There was no better sound than a full field of 500cc two strokes racing and no better spectacle to watch also. People say how good the new 4 strokes are but how fast would a 500cc two stroke be now if they had kept making them and put the same development into them that the 4 strokes have had, they stopped developing them a while before they stopped making them because all the pussies wouldn't by them anymore because they couldn't cope with the power they put out. The 4 strokes sound shit.

@ 5.04 Jeff Leisk. I was something like 8-10 years old when my dad took me to see him race as a 18 year old kid in a place called broadford here in Australia. US rider called Chuck Sun was the favourite to win and Jeff blew his pegs off...Before Chad reed there was Jeff Leisk.....!!!!! Amazing rider.....

It takes serious balls to ride a 500 on a track. Scares me every time.
