So two weeks ago last Wednesday I decided to go riding at Barona Oaks Mx complex. Lets just say it didn’t end the way I would have liked it to. I attempted key word here being attempted to clear a 70ft downhill double that they just put in. Unfortunately this was only my second ride with my new boots. The first ride was out at Corral Canyon with one of my buddies, our new R&D manager and his twin brother. Which I ended up getting a speeding ticket on the way there in the company truck I might add. I am starting to think I need to burn these boots because they are bad luck. Anyway back to the jump, I miss shifted and hit 3 3/4 and the bike dropped back down to 3rd gear just before the face of the jump. Because of this I lost all my drive which caused me to land a bit short.  This is what happens when you land short on a 70ft downhill double.

Well I finally got a truck again. The whole car thing was just not working out for me. I tried and it lasted about 6 months then I was going through major truck withdrawals. After countless hours of searching I finally found someone who was willing to trade a Tacoma for my 03 VW Golf. I picked the truck up about two months ago and absolutely loving every second of it.

I could imagine that you guys are staring at this picture wondering what the heck happened, well when you do not ride with an HID headlight you get hurt. This thankfully was not my ankle it was one of my best friends ankle who also does Tech Support here at ElectroSport Industries. Please feel free to call Electrosport and hit two for tech support to make fun of him. His name is Steven. Because of this little incident he is now going to be upgrading to an HID kit.

Well my buddy finally convinced me to throw a light on my dirt bike to ride with him at night. At first I was a little bit skeptical because I have never rode at night before, except for riding double on quads out at Ocotillo Wells and Borrego which is not a good idea by the way. At least for me it isn’t, I always seem to run myself over, so I try and stay away from quads. Anyways I put a HID headlight (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-501.php), a ESL960 60w lighting stator (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-543.php) , LED taillight (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-1720.php) and a ESR600 (http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-622.php) Regulator/Rectifier on my personal 04 Kawasaki KX250. I must admit I did cheat alittle bit because the ESL960 stator is not the stator that we have listed for the KX250. The ESL960 is for the CRF250R/450R, however I was not satisfied with running just a 35w halogen bulb because you might as well just ride with a candle. So I figured out a way to run the L960 on my bike. This sooner or later will be the new stator for the KX, but I am currently doing some testing on it to make sure it works flawlessly. So pretty much I am the test dummie for this new part. I must say with this HID light I absolutely love riding at night, it adds a whole new level of sketchiness to riding.

Even Next to Steven’s (Tech Support) RM in broad daylight you can see the HID in my KX is ridiculously brighter.
