    I just pulled my Ktm 380mxc out of my shed after not riding it in 7 years. Before I put it away I changed the oil, drained gas, cleaned carb. Today I picked up some 100 octane VIP and red line 2 stroke oil, I mixed it up, and the damn thing fired up in 3 kicks. I rode this bike in various district 36 races, and just woods riding. I'm taking it up to my new house in the woods, and gonna start running it again.this thing rips and always has. The ktms are beasts

      I've probably been in some of those same races with you many years ago when it was new.

    I'm enjoying, keeping up with you and the team . It gives us ex- students the chance to stay up to date with your race prep efforts this season. I'm not expecting W's from you, but I'm sure everyone will be watching you with anticipation. I'm also prepping for a hard charging racing season this year in the 40+ catagory, so you are inspiring me. Braaaap

    I got my first GNCC number in 98’ it’s so good to watch your stuff. Now it’s 2019. I had my cousins 98’ 200EXC out for a spin last week. Man it felt soooooooo good. I’m just saying.

      Back in the glory days mate!
      It actually was very surprising on how much grip that grassy paddock had, you could really crank it over!!!

    Great video. I am glad I watched this. Great to hear his take on the differences between his bikes and the 2014's. It is a more fair comparison between his 1998 bike and the 2014. His 1997 bike was a full on one off Factory bike comparable to something you would see Factory Supercross Teams build.

    Great vídeo! Special vídeo indeed, but he should have compared them with the nowadays 125 EXC version, not the SX. Anyway good vídeo with two very special bikes.
    I`m wondering if he`s going to ask Austria for some replacement parts as these are factory bikes.

    You need to keep your elbows up when pointing the camera, Shane...

    Goes to show it’s not the bike. Newer bike won’t make you faster, newer powerful motor won’t make you faster. If anything you need to spend all your money on suspension only. That’s what I’ve learned with my newest bike.
