I was at that x games in San Diego in 97. Partied with the S&M guys. Buddy of mine tried the first double backflip on dirt at that comp. Matter of fact he was the first one to land a double backflip on dirt about a year later. That was the first x games dirt comp that had a 6 pack ( 3 sets). Another buddy of mine actually won that comp. TJ took gold that year. Fond memories

Have had mine since 2019..., share the fuel capacity and seat comfort issues. Blinkers, tank covers etc., I also agree, however, I feel the win in price compensates for these aesthetics. Transmission and speed wobble.., this is my sixth season riding this bike, no issues at all. In fact I find the handling and transmission excellent. Suspension, brakes, no issue however I'm 5'11'' and 170 lbs..., I find it corners and handles beautifully. My opinion..., the person buying the XSR900 falls into two camps..., they know and understand the massive gap between price and performance or they don't, and have made a major mistake and should exit the decision asap. The cross plane three is clearly one of the best engines ever made in cycling and its wrapped in a very proven frame and suspension. It's not a distance cruiser or a land speed projectile. It's a dependable, finely balanced hammer. Respect it and use the proper traction control settings with the appropriate riding modes and it's Clark Kent with Superman on reserve. Ride Safe and Wear the Gear!

Burly everything. Dropouts, axles, wheels, chains, frames, tiny tires running 100psi. The irony of the 40 lb bike era is those frames were prone to cracking because NOTHING flexed! Wasn't until years later that I figured out that mid school bikes / frames were too stiff and cracked where the two shockwaves met.

You know who you’re dealing with big trouble 👊🏻👊🏻, Wood chuck Any on got a scare in there knee because the big bolt on the stem? You would skid a hole in your tyre and push train tickets and any old card to get done. Number on four jerry mini pegs they looked like 10mm sockets.

Garrett was next level! I was lucky enough to witness him tearing up at my local park with Joe Rich and a couple other guys back in the day. Within minutes of them getting there they had lines and transfers figured out none us us locals would even consider. Garrett was doing these massive turn downs from one bowl into another that required him to crank at full speed and then carve/drop into the deep end of a massive vert bowl. He seemed like such a mellow dude but his riding was so gnarly!
