good luck with the 351- When I did the 331 kit from Bill it took a full week to get that Grin off my face!
Kaw should sell them that way sales would increase by 50%

the hill was impossible to gain speed. there were ball bearing rocks and then large rocks cause the wheel to slip and then grab. very hard to keep the front down.

ill probs go back there and do the hill.
It looked tough for sure, good luck!

Not doubting you dude, all hills are a bitch. That one looked pretty rugged. I have watched guys hit climbs like that both ways, kind of picking there way up, getting stuck half way, and then there in a world of $hit and stuff breaks when then biff.
I also have seen guys hit those hills wide f-in open, bouncing along, barely hanging on to it, on the edge of wrecking big every bounce. and then there in a world of $hit and stuff breaks when then biff.

Aint no easy way, just open her up, and see what you got !!
Have fun on your next climb, should be more fun now that you know the line, or what way not to go. !!

BTW, the bike sounds awesome !! Cant wait to see if santy claws puts one of the BB kits under my pillow this hollyday season !!
