Okay -- but the video and the BETA are 2 strokes..... That sound should be easier to duplicate.

P.S....... Gaetano said to try a clothes pin holding a playing card in your spokes. One side for 2 stroke - both sides for a four stroke.

One of my favorite reasons for riding dirt bikes is "floating." This is where you're standing up on the bike, just cruising along over the terrain, up and down hills. But because you're standing, you really only see the tip of the front fender. To me it always feels like I'm floating across the terrain, since I'm not thinking about anything as the gas and brakes are all involuntary.

Definitely need to schedule some time to tune up the old 450 and hit the hills!

Yep, i'm a treehugger, on occasion i'll give one a kiss. DOH!!

Haven't been in the saddle in awhiles as some drug dealer here on this forum introduced me to the "crack known as the track"...I get just as much "of a high" coming off of the track as i do riding off road, funny thing is, i dont get sick from the lactic acid, sore from bruises, torn ligiments, etc...from riding off road...but man is it FUN!!

When the suspension is dialed that is the "feeling" you get, "in the zone". There are two GREAT riding areas in the region of Thunderhill, Stoneyford and MiddleCreek....great single track (and trees!!)

I don't have a video camera (phones don't count), however, you can come by and get the video in the track in my yard...

My quad makes four-stroke noises, and it's good for making the autocross turns I usually make with no grip...

Dude, Mike, it's like northern California. There are only two great riding areas?
