Sorry about the incident. Broome Tioga was an awesome AMA national track few miles away from Unadilla. Most of the new generation Pro and amateur riders don't even know about Broome Tioga AMA national track.

I'm right near by, and as a kid my friends father took us to a race there. It was 86. Dave Bailey, Rick Johnson, Ron Lachen, Jeff Ward, and probably other big names which I don't remember. I'm pretty sure they were racing 500s, and we stood right behind the starting line and got blasted as they took off. Some where floating around I still have some momentos of that day. A few signed autographs, a few plastic Suzuki flags that lined the track and the race day program. I should probably find that stuff, and frame it. What was worthless junk 40 years ago is, while not worth much monitarily, irreplaceable now. I'm sorry about your injury. Whole I have little use for medical science, nerve damage is one of the places where I hope medical science can make a positive difference.

Very sorry about your accident brother. You have the attitude of a Champion and Winner, with the unfortunate accident you had, making the best out of a very bad and unfortunate scenario. I admire the hell out of you brother. You could teach many people something today, in the world we live in, where so many people have victim mentalities, that haven't gone through things in life, any where near as bad as you have. . God Bless You Brother. Much love and respect from New Orleans, Louisiana. ❤

That would be a totally awesome bike to give a young kid that already knows how to ride, however, not the ideal bike for a young kid to learn on, since it will flip them on their back, very quickly. Gorgeous! Loved the graphics that y'all put on it!

Started on a pw50 on my 4th birthday and the day I turned 6 the old man had a brand spanking new kx60 in the garage waiting for me and that was all it took for me to be hooked for LIFE and let me tell you as a 6 year old hopping from the pw to the 60 was quite the leap! Those little bikes are FAST!!!

The 4,000 dollar price tag. You can get a brand new kx65 for the same price. Better everything. Bike is cool but not 4k cool it's just a kx60 there are tons of them not rare at all. It's a 2k bike but he has a social media following and a nice building that helps the illusion of a good deal. He's got tons of fairly priced machines but this is not one of them.
@Drivehead1037 ай бұрын
Kx60 is the only dirt bike I have ever flipped backwards and have it to walk out from under me. Alcohol was involved and I was in unfamiliar territory at night time. About the time the power band hit the ground sloped downwards, the bike walked out from underneath me and did a number on my knee that I still have a scar from to this day. It took a good 3 months for that leg to heal up to where I could walk normal!
