Went to a Track he hasn't been to in two years. Ended up having the place to himself. He would have liked to have some one to ride with.
I angled the camera mount I made up just a bit. I think it helped. He is really into watching his video after each session to see what he is doing. https://youtu.be/Qt4s2wbmXfY  20190525_151323 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr

I'm dying for a TW200. I've got 50 acres of wooded land, in the middle of many miles of National Forrest roads. Plus I like the idea of having a bug out vehicle. If there was ever any sort of real issue in metro Atlanta, the roads would become impassable for a car / truck.

Current state of my KX450F at 57 hours. Getting new valves, new JE piston (stock compression), forks and shock refreshed with new bushings/seals/bladder and aluminum free pistons for the forks, everything regreased, new rear tire, new cam chain, new oil pump, new Hinson clutch, and a sweet Hinson clutch cover I picked up used for real cheap.
I need it to last another 1-2 years probably before I buy a freshie. But it was real hard to resist buying a 2020 KX450 or CRF450R. But $1250 was a lot easier to swallow than $8,000 for the bike plus another $1,000 on suspension setup.

Haven't made any real progress on the bike as I'm still waiting for a couple parts to come off backorder, like the oil pump. But I did splurge on a fresh set of plastics and new graphics.
