    85 350X in the dirt

    I had fun about a month back taking the '85 350X out. This was the first time I had ridden one. After being on Tri Z's, 250R's and the host of 2 stroke 500's and 550's I had...the 350X felt a bit flat.

    Once I learned how to really let the powerband pull me and wind it out...I had a blast. Especially on up hills and tighter spaces. I actually grew very impressed with the motor and the whole machine.

    A few shots of her from that day....Click image for larger version.

    And that is why I'm not going all out with my X resto. I intend to ride it, not show it. I can't afford certain hard to find parts, so, I will substatute a few things to make it 100%, look great, and be a trail bike.

    Very nice X though!
