I remember my 1st ride on that monster , I was in my early 20's >>> almost 55 now ... I was hooked . I have hereditary heart disease now and a low ejection factor on my heart which makes it hard to breath and a bit tough to rip like my days of being young . Never lose your health .. Really thankful for GoPro and guys like yourself that let me at least relive some of my days as a Rocket Man ..I bet that young guy would get faster on those laps after riding the 500 more. Takes some balls and some time to get use to it .

Shane Watts....dirt kitchen session on a 97 125exc.... (ideally in the rain) ....I would pay to see that ......✊

[@jimbo4203]

Saw Shane Watts win a Gncc at Loretta Lynn's, it was freakin awesome ! On the 200 exc i think, anyway he was flying it was raining, and he smoked his tire off on the podium , epic !

[@sameryounis909]

yes yes yes and fucking yes!!

[@MALVSMACHINE]

In 2015 I bought my first dirtbike after finding Adam’s channel..... I was 34. I haven’t looked back.... but my ambition definitely outweighs my talent and I’m currently nursing a knackered shoulder so can’t ride 😄.

[@dreyn7780]

Cause your bike wasn't tuned either.

[@MALVSMACHINE]

@@dreyn7780 you’re absolutely right 👌🏻

[@michail1963]

been there...AC joint tear tossy II on the left and partial rotator cuff tear on the right.

[@MALVSMACHINE]

@@michail1963 oof, not nice at all! Hope you recovered fully 👍🏻

[@dreyn7780]

@@michail1963 that’s a very tough lesson to learn. The hard way. The bikes must be tuned to something and then ridden within their limits so that nobody gets hurt. But all I see is riding that exceeds the components ability. What seems like a basic jump landing on the flat surface actually causes the motor to slam into the dirt track and the wheel rims to buckle etc.. Every crash for the last 15 years is caused by riders exceeding the engineering limits. Everyone’s got slow motion video footage now, so you can see the components fail during a race. Tune the suspension for cornering instead of jumps cause the jumps tuning was done by the designer in the factory.

Adam, I know you’re going through a lot (well, this is what it looks like). Don’t give up, you built one of the most amazing dirt riders channel ever. A big thumb up from the UK. Take care mate.

Really, really enjoyed this video. Owned a cr500 1995 from 2012-2016. Awsome bike, lots of character, not for beginners nor lazy people. And the mad max part was a great bonus, I recently watched the old mad max movies. Next bike should be the ktm sx 380. Very rare bike I think. You hardly see one for sale nowadays.

[@rglce25]

Kaplan cycles has one I think. He just did a video on it.

[@Ostpreussen-km8rd]

Was going to request the same, KTM 380! That's my dune weapon! The only things that keeps up with this at the Glamis dune drags are the Cr500 and KTM500s. Its a total sleeper cell in the modern chassis.

500 2t FINALLY!!! Thanks adam!!

[@thehooonda]

I have owned 3 CR500’S so thank you for the walk down memory lane. Nothing quite like those big bore smokers. One bike I rode that has left a lasting impression on me was a KTM 440MX. Probably the sickest power curve ever. Short stroke big bore that wound up like a 250. Un fuckin real! I have always wished KTM would revisit that displacement with the short rod big jug. If you’ve never thrown a leg over one you should track one down and give it a squeeze. Better yet! Find one and stuff the motor in a modern chassis…. Either way I would enjoy hearing your take on that motor… Thanks for all the rad content. Long live the smokers!

The era of Gall, Bailey, Flood, Cramer, Gunter Vandenberg etc was the start for MX in Oz. My first solo drive when I got my car license was driving to the 1983 Mr Motocross at Broadford. Love your channel.

[@dreyn7780]

Stephen Gall hasn't got a clue how to ride a dirtbike. The idiot told people to ride bikes with brakes that aren't tuned.

I skipped over 60 % of that video cause it was FULL of lies and gossip. That was the worst bike riding on Untuned motorbikes. Simple things amuse simple minds.

[@scottyd2262]

Great to see one of my bikes on top (22 FE501 same bike as a 2020) Hard to believe that it was faster than a CR500. Just shows how much it is the rider compared to the bike. I've converted mine to a Supermoto and I still want more grunt. I think that a CR500 is just too brutal which in turn makes for a slower lap time or Addo needed more time to get comfortable on it.. 🤷‍♂

Hi mate get yourself a maico 490 to have a pop around your track on .

Went to go buy a cr500e when i was 18 and my dad cracked it and didnt want me riding it in the road and made me get my deposit back etc i believe id still have that bike today nearly 20 years later.

Good throttle response: on another page lost into a black hole anywhere www there was a story very interesting for you guys. Eric Geboers told the HRC mechanics one day, to mount him a one size smaler carburator (36 right? Can't remember). Those times mid '80s when HRC RC 500 were dominating the class of kings everybody was looking to have more power and the strongest bike as possible to win the holeshot at least with 39 guys try the same like you do. First view the works mechanics couldn't trust their ears Mr. 875 was demanding. So, they make a deal. One race an we will see. He won both holeshots that day! He explainded later, he had a better feel of traction with the smaler carburator. The time GP's had 2 x 40 minutes plus 2 laps a day on 70 horespower works bikes for guys like Eric ... R.I.P. Eric "Mr. 875" Geboers and thank you for those great memorys! 3 times Enduro du Touquet winner (1988, 1989, 1990 all on RC530 and longer swingarm) and five time world champion: amcn.com.au/editorial/remembering-eric-geboers/ Saw him racing at the german GP/Northeim 1988, MXdN 1985 + 1989 Gaildorf/Germany, fantastic rider! I will never forget!

Keep the 500s coming, WR500, KX500 or go for a Maico 700!

[@dreyn7780]

There's only 1 problem, guys. You know how when somebody says that statement, it always leads to you having to redo everything over again. The bike designer wants you to go around corners with the throttle set near 50%. You need to take out the look at me jumps and the egotistical straights and tighten up the rear shock wheel spin timing delay setting, and learn to master an oval race. You've tuned the rear to DELAY wheel spin until You're halfway down the straight. But YOU thrashed the throttle 5 metres out of the corner. That causes the rear tyre tread to dig a hole in the track. They didn't give YOU control of the springs. If you drop engine revs to zero going around corners, you've also set the springs to no load. I bet you drive all these Unique bikes, the same way. How is it possible that you can make unique parts behave like their all the same part? No load on the springs means NO droop setting and the wheels will get airborne everytime you drive over a depression in the track surface. You're insane. You can't even control your track position going around corners.

[@TylerKohout]

Adam, bring Chris Birch down to hit the track on the KTM 1290 R
