Hey 124, I remember you saying you got a couple of seasons out of SS some time back when I was doing my head. Out of curiosity what's your latest valve status/history?

I made it about 2-1/2 seasons out of my SS. I shimmed for the first time in Dec of 08' before some arenacross practice over this past winter. I haven't ridden in a month or so. I purchased the KW intake kit from CRF's. Hopefully next week my head and bag-o-parts will be on its way to California for a visit with ~. I wanted to do it last month, but I had to put a dent into my "secret motorcycle repair stash money"...
