Took a little trip to my local motocross and trail park. 2000 acres of wooded trails. Rained last night so was too muddy to take advantage of all that space, so I stuck to to the motocross track. Rode for about 8 hours going through the full routine of jumps. Hella fun riding with about 8 other riders I met there. Couple Suzuki 125's, Suzuki DRZ400 and the rest were kawasakis. Bike held together well except for one engine mount bolt that sheered off (crappy chinese bolts! :x ) about 15 minutes after the last bolt n crack search. Ended up splitting out the mount on the engine along the bolt. UGGH. 3 hours later, and 15 bucks, it was rewelded and ready to go back in. will have to wait til Sunday.

Broke my camera Memorial Day weekend. Didn't get any pictures while out riding but I will see if I can borrow one from someone in the family over the weekend for pictures of weld.
I was hitting the doubles and clearing a 10-15' table top, so I was really putting it to the test. if all the damage was done because of a sheered bolt and the factory welds all held I think it did a pretty good job.
