Open-road racing-also known as "regularity rallying" or "time, distance, and speed rallying"-is a sport in which the object is to maintain an average speed over a predetermined course. In essence, it combines the elements of road racing-where power, speed, and handling are king-and rallying, which demands a superior degree of precision. Events are typically held in areas of the country that offer some seclusion, as races are generally 60-120 miles in length and take place on closed public highways. With classes that accommodate average speeds of 85 to 160 mph and an unlimited class that throws timing out the window, you'd better be able to ensure that "Farmer Joe" doesn't wander onto the road and scuttle the race. Safety is paramount in this type of event, and often there are hundreds of volunteers, numerous ambulances, and eyes in the sky to alert the ground crews of any issues on the course.
One such event is the Big Bend Open Road Race (BBORR), held on an isolated stretch of Texas highway between the towns of Fort Stockton and Sanderson. The first event was held in this West Texas community in 2002, when a dedicated group of enthusiasts, in conjunction with the aforementioned towns and their respective authorities, legally closed down the state highway for a day and turned open-road racing on its ear. The event isn't just a cruise on a flat piece of highway, but rather 59 miles each way of curve-hanging fun, elevation changes, blind curves, switchbacks, and low-flying buzzards. The challenges all add up to a speed-and-handling freak's dream-one that demands driving skill and rewards pilots and navigators with a wild ride and intense competition, all bookended by a plethora of social events.
Today's BBORR is referred to by enthusiasts and organizers alike as "The Most Challenging Open Road Race in the World," and when you show up to participate, you'd better have your game face on.
Power, speed, handling, and a cerebellum that functions at a high level-was this event tailor-made for Corvette drivers, or what? Apparently it was, as about half of the field was Corvettes! All versions competed, from C1 through C6, but the sixth-gen edition was overwhelmingly the enthusiast's weapon of choice. Z51s, Z06s, and ZR1s all went head-to-head against Cobras, GT40s, Shelbys, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Vipers, and a mind-boggling lineup of other top-notch the sports cars from around the world.
Rather than just covering the event, your author was invited to participate as a navigator in an '07 Z06 owned by Malcolm Johnson of Tucson, Arizona. Brazenly disregarding our complete lack of qualifications, we grabbed a hand timer and a set of course notes and strapped into the cockpit. After all, riding shotgun at extreme speeds is a job requirement!
Hang on as we give you the flavor of the Big Bend Open Road Race and a glimpse of the fun you could have in your own Corvette, hammering down an isolated stretch of road.

Hey all, since the next Xbox is expected to launch next year, is now a good time to sell the 360? I have a Slims 250GB in good condition.
I'm not really interested in any of the other games coming out next year, apart from GTA 5, I can play most of them on PC.
What are your thoughts? I need opinions!

I stopped using uTorrent. It was partly due to the uploading bug and the fact that it tries to run some bundled spyware when you run the installer.Currently I am using Transmission-qt. I am not sure if it is downloading torrents correctly or it is just the torrent itself.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 14:06
posted earlier in the thread
Really can you mention the steps to do so?
Posted 08 January 2013 - 14:17
So your back KM?? Thought you had unsubscribed? He used term uploading bug, does not mean its same issue you are saying your having. Nor did he state what version of said software he was using. Since he stated he sopted using when added toolbar to installer, etc. That was many versions ago.
So it could be his ISP is giving him IP addresses making his network think he's on a LAN
Check if the upload is going to a peer on your local network.
utorrent, for some reason does not limit the upload rate to local peers, even if a global upload rate limit is set

Come to think of it, this issue does seem to have appeared a few months ago, around the same few months ago that I changed ISPs from Sky Broadband to Plusnet...
A quick google for the term "utorrent upload bug" gave a possibel answer to his issue.
So it could be his ISP is giving him IP addresses making his network think he's on a LAN
He could simply be experiencing this. outside of kB vs kb it seems the only real reason for his issue, unless he forgot to apply the rate for utp connections as well.

i tried qBittorrent recently but its webui is very buggy and it doesn't allow you to save to sub directories from there
qBitTorrent is a great alternative...
oh boy if we had transmission on windows... (i believe we dont).. it's the best torrent client i ever used.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 19:16
just installed that yesterday and am giving it a try, it's pretty good so far but i'll give it a week or two to decide if i like it better than utorrent
^ hmm you can always give Deluge a try

The use of the word "band" in "out-of-band" originates from the term as used in radio and other electronic communications.
Here are some very basic examples:
In computer administration, out-of-band management refers to system console access provided, even in the event of primary network subsystem (hard and/or software) failure. This can be done via a console server or with a remote access card (RAC) which has its own processor, memory, battery, network connection, and access to the system bus.
The term "out-of-band" is sometimes confused with the term "out-of-bounds", which in computer programming refers to values returned by a function that are not in its "natural" range of return values, but rather signal some kind of exception. Many C programming language functions that normally return a non-negative integer will return -1 to indicate failure. (See also end-of-file) It is actually a clear example of in-band signalling since it uses the same "channel" for control and data (In-band signaling is the opposite of out-of-band signaling and out-of-band signaling is one method of achieving network transparency.)
In personal communications, methods other than e-mail (such as telephone or snail-mail) are called "out-of-band.

The hormone imbalance that most often causes hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, and other menopausal complaints is called "estrogen dominance." It may be caused by too much estrogen, too little progesterone, or both. FemCreme™ is a natural progesterone cream that is designed to the exact specifications of Dr. John Lee (What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause). Its progesterone is 100% bio-identical to that made by the human body, so that you will experience none of the unpleasant side effects associated with the synthetic progestins that most physicians prescribe.*
When the ovaries begin to shut down, the only remaining source of progesterone is the adrenal glands. The modern world takes a terrible toll on these glands. In many cases, the adrenals are too weak to ever produce the amount of progesterone you need. Women with overtaxed adrenal glands may need to use a progesterone cream for most of their lives. Other women might need such a product for only a few months while Transitions™ or ProFema™ rebuild adrenal strength.*
Our suggestion is to use Transitions™ or ProFema™ for a month. If that doesn't provide all the relief you need, add FemCreme™. When complete relief is obtained, begin to reduce your usage of FemCreme™ to the smallest amount you can use without a return of symptoms. Many women will be able to discontinue FemCreme™ as long they continue with Transitions™ or ProFema™.*

The Operational Flight Program Combined Test Force was recently recognized with the nationally prestigious Ferguson Award for Engineering.
OFP CTF was given the award for developing F-15 aircraft modernization system, Suite 7E.
"The F-15 is still one of the premier aircraft systems the Air Force has," said Maj. Craig Franke, F-15E section chief. "These new enhanced features will be better for the warfighter."
Suite 7E included software for the newly developed F-15 missile capability, the AIM 120D. The system has been approved by Air Combat Command to be operational on all 219 F-15s nationwide.
The F-15 OFP CTF at Eglin AFB is part of the 53rd Test Management Group and 46th Operations Group and is responsible for testing F-15 software upgrades to enhance air-to-air and air-to-ground combat.
"I knew about this award for several years and I had this team in mind," said Lt. Col. Rich Sumner, OFP CTF commander. "They had just finished up the project and I knew it was a great achievement that should be recognized."
Franke said that it wasn't just about getting the capability up and running, but it was also about teamwork.
"Our Suite 7E project, worked mainly with upgrading software capability," said Franke. "But a big portion was partnering with prior suite and sub-system teams, who were on different development paths to determine common test objectives and capabilities to make it a success."
It was a first for the integrated team, who all took pride in contributing to sustaining the F-15 for years to come.
"This award justifies how we've taken Suite 7E from inception to development, to operation and fielding on to the warfighter.
With the continued development of the F-22 and F-35, the plan is for the F-15 to be around for a while.
"We're upgrading to sustain the platform for decades 2025," said Franke. "We will continue the synergy with our team and partners for future projects."
The Lt. Gen. Thomas R. Ferguson, Jr. Award for System Engineering Excellence was established by the National Defense Industrial Association and is given to an individual or group embodying the highest ideals in defense systems development and deployment.
OFP CTF is the first organization from Eglin to win the award since its inception in 2003.
"I'm proud of the team," said Sumner. "I know how proud they were and how hard they worked. I'm just happy they got recognized.

You may remember attending concerts in Northrop's bouncy balcony or perhaps even more memorable for you was your walk across Northrop's stage to receive your diploma.
On February 11 the Board of Regents gave their approval to a financing package that will revitalize this iconic building. Northrop will no longer be just a home for concerts, convocation, and commencements.
The revitalized space will increase the amount of space for public study and collaborative space by 50% as well as providing a world-class, multi-purpose 2,800 seat hall, featuring state-of-the-art acoustics, significantly improved sight-lines, cutting-edge technologies and updated amenities.
Northrop will be a home for:
• The University Honors Program, which helps recruit and supports 2,400 of the most academically-talented undergraduates from across the university;
• The Institute for Advanced Study, an incubator where scholars and artists come together from across the University to develop new solutions to pressing issues; and
• Innovation by Design, a lab where entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and faculty work together to solve big real world problems and bring solutions to market.
Northrop Concerts and Lectures will continue presenting performances at other venues during the revitalization. CLA's commencement ceremonies will be held in Mariucci Arena.

Washington Avenue has long been a major hub of campus transportation. Over the next 3 years, it will be the site of major construction that in the end will transform this section of the U of M- Twin Cities campus.
During the construction period, there will be a number of closures and changes that affect how visitors come to the campus. Some changes have already begun. As of March 6, vehicle traffic on the Washington Avenue bridge will be restricted to the north side. Two-way traffic will be maintained. The pedestrian level of the bridge will also be restricted to the north side.
The Metropolitan Council has a website with a number of resources describing the plans and construction schedule along with updates on specific locations along the route.

Alumni profile: Jim Burke
Speech-communication, 1982
Producer of Cedar Rapids, The Savages, Election, and other films
Producer of Cedar Rapids, The Savages, Election, and other films
"Film producer and speech-communication alum Jim Burke met with CLA students to talk about how a liberal arts degree prepares students for the future. Photo by Kelly MacWilliams."
Alumnus Jim Burke visited the University of Minnesota campus in early February for a screening of his film Cedar Rapids. He met with CLA students to talk about what a liberal arts education can do to shape and prepare them for the future. Burke also took some time to answer some questions for Alma Matters.
It was great fun to learn about his unique profession. In CLA we always appreciate having our alumni come back to campus to share their stories and what they've learned. And our current students appreciate it, too.
Do you think having a liberal arts degree gives you a big picture approach to your life and work?
I tend to have a big picture look at life and my profession. When I was at the U of M, I had to take a class for Spanish on Don Quixote so that whole quarter all I did was read and talk about just that, which sort of mimics my every day life now.
It's one of the first classes I remember, because something about me must lend itself to getting really interested in something. Because if you're going to make a movie, boy, you'd better strap in. It's a long ride. You have to keep it fresh and keep finding ways to keep yourself interested.
Were you ever asked what you are you going to do with that degree?
No, I don't know if I paid any attention to that.
Dealing with the University, which was this massive bureaucracy, was a frustrating event. And I was kind of a baby about it after I graduated. I thought, "Why didn't they take care of me?" But then I realized: "What do you mean they didn't take care of you?" Of course they didn't and neither does the real world.
The lesson I learned that was so valuable is you've got to figure out a way. And it's totally like that in show business. If you want to be an actor you need to be in the Screen Actors Guild, and the only way you can get in the Screen Actors Guild is if you're an actor. There's no way that can happen, but it does. And it's the same with all of the other guilds.
I whined about that then, but now my heart bursts with pride about the University of Minnesota. I really, truly love it. When I was driving down here today on 35W and I saw the U of M exit sign, it was awesome.
Now I really do see what a value this place had for me. It really did. I made so many friends that I still have today.
About his approach as a filmmaker
As I began making films, I saw a pattern. If I like the movie then other people will like it. It just worked out that way. And now I only make movies that I love.
I make human films. Nobody is going to land on Mars or blow up a space station. That's just not going to happen, because I need to be able to feel it. I need to know that at one point or another in my life I could relate to what the characters are going through. I want to see myself in them. And I think if I can--and I'm not that unique a person--then a lot of other people will be able to relate, too.
Is it difficult to ignore the norms and stay true to your way of making films?
You get tempted to leave the island, but we're on a little island, and we're impervious to market forces. We're going to make these kinds of movies over here, and they will pop because they're good.
I know how to make a movie that changes in tone, and that's not something most people can do. By changing tone, I mean, it's like life. You can be laughing at one point in the day and heartbroken at another. And that's not an easy rhythm to create in a movie. Sometimes if you do it wrong an audience will get [angry with] you. You tricked me. You made me think this was funny and now I'm crying.
Will you keep doing filmmaking, or do you see other projects in your future?
If I ever do anything else it will be --and I'm being totally sincere about this--it would be some job like a bag boy at a grocery store or something just real, connecting with other people and a something-to-do job. Like, what am I going to do today? Well, I've got to work from 10 to 4.
But I try to be present and I've got some great pictures in the pipeline. We've got The Descendants coming up and then we've got just an amazing movie that's set here in Minneapolis. It's just the most original picture.
It sounds like you have time to take in a lot of films.
Sure, I watch everything. I don't need to create spare time for it. That's what I do. That's why I make movies, so I can watch them. I also watch the movies I make hundreds of times. I'm in the dark a lot. [laughs]

Senior services program leaving stateBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | January 12,2013A program that helps seniors in Rutland and Chittenden counties maintain their independence will close this spring.
Five years after opening offices in Colchester and Rutland, PACE Vermont announced Friday it will close its offices and leave the state by March 31.
The program, whose name stands for the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly, has provided medical and supportive care for seniors with chronic needs in other states for decades.
But the nonprofit program, which receives state and federal funds, didnt begin providing services in Vermont until 2007 when offices opened in Rutland City and Colchester, according to Wayne Olson, senior vice president of Volunteers of America, the Minnesota-based company that oversees PACE Vermont.
During its operations in Vermont, PACE has served roughly 350 seniors with nursing care requirements, including a current caseload of 75 clients in Rutland and 60 in Colchester.
While the numbers served may seem significant, Olson said the company needed many more clients to achieve financial stability in Vermont.
Throughout our history weve had challenges with enrollment increases, he said. There hasnt been a point in our history when we were in balance. We always had more expenses and liability than reimbursements.
Olson added, Eventually, the expenses were too high. The decision was reached a week ago that we would have to close.
That decision started a series of conversations with the organizations clients and other senior care providers in Chittenden and Rutland counties to arrange for transitions to other programs.
In Chittenden County, PACE clients in need of case management are being referred to the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging while in Rutland those same clients are being instructed to call the Southwestern Council on Aging.
Rutland Area Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice is also preparing to help seniors who will be phased out of PACE during the next 2½ months.
RAVNAH is already stepping in to help with patients, said RAVNAH spokeswoman Laura Vien. Anytime an organization or service that extends services to a vulnerable population closes, its a loss.
Olson said the closing will also leave 85 nurses, dietitians, drivers and other support staff employed by PACE without jobs although he said he hoped many of the companys employees wouldnt be out of work for long.
Were anticipating that some of our staff will be hired by the other agencies who will absorb our clients, he said.
Olson said he had no doubt that other senior support services would be able to add those receiving help from PACE. In fact, he said that competition with those other services, which had been caring for Vermonts senior population long before PACE arrived, was a major factor in his organizations struggles.
We believe theres enough services here to provide a safety net, certainly, Olson said. The closing was a very difficult decision to reach but it wasnt a sudden decision. We came to it cumulatively over time.

Acceptances for this program have been completed. Please check back in September in order to apply for the GRI 2016 Summer Dissertation Writing Workshops. Any submissions sent before then will be disregarded.
Doctoral students in any discipline and in the advanced stages of dissertation writing are eligible to apply to summer intensive dissertation-writing workshops, to be held at the Berlin, Florence, London, and Washington DC institutes in the summer of 2015. Each site will be able to host an average of six doctoral students for a period of six weeks. It is possible that one of these workshops will be discipline-specific. If so, applicants will be notified when it is decided. In the meantime, students from all fields and disciplines are welcome to apply to all workshops. The workshops will be held from Monday, June 15 to Friday, July 24, 2015.
Participants in the summer dissertation program will have their travel and their housing provided. NYU will also provide (wherever possible) a meal plan. When this is not possible, a $50 per diem will be provided to defray this cost. On-site, participants will have shared office space and will enjoy modest administrative support during the course of the summer program. Participants in the dissertation workshops will be required to be in full-time residence (without the interruption of family or friends), and to commit to work intensively and exclusively on the writing of their dissertations over the course of the program. A faculty advisor will be on-site to provide general advice (and moral support), but students are expected to be in the final write-up stages and thus not need any topic-specific research support.
The final deadline is now Friday, February 13, 2015. Applicants will be notified in March.

One of my childhood friends recently passed away. He spent the last ten years of his life in a wheelchair, as a result of an accident that occurred while helping a friend cut limbs from a tree after a hurricane in Florida.
He was a big man with a big heart.
I was asked to speak at his service and was honored to do so for my friend. Due to the distance, timing and honestly my fear of falling apart, I asked if I could send a video. My friend's brother understood and told me that would be great.
He wanted me to tell the story of my friend Jerry coming to the rescue when I wet my pants in kindergarten. I did and also said a few more things. What I thought would take 3 to 5 minutes ended up taking more than 10.
My friend's brother noted that not much more needed to be said after they watched it. It made me happy, but I, like Jerry's family and friends still felt empty.
There were a couple of stories that I really wanted to tell, but didn't feel it was right to take any more time on the video.
My friend Jerry and I played baseball together through the years and were on the same team when we were 13 to 15 years old. We got along well, just like we did in kindergarten. It's nice to have a "big friend."
In 1977, like every year I can remember while playing baseball, I collected baseball cards. It was a lot different then, you didn't simply buy the complete set in a cardboard box and it was over. You bought cards a pack at a time, chewed the cardboard flavored bubblegum that came with the cards and discussed the statistics on the back of the cards.
I remember things like this because getting every Topps baseball card every year was a necessity. Not an option, but something I had to do. I did it one pack at a time. There were 660 cards that year and I only needed one to complete my set for that year – Topps Card #10, Reggie Jackson. Not many guys would simply give you a Reggie Jackson card.
As you probably can easily predict, Jerry showed up smiling before a game late in the season and handed me that Reggie Jackson card. I remember the joy it gave him to give it to me. And yes, I still have it.
The other thing that I treasured was the conversations with Jerry when we were shagging balls during batting practice. We would stand close enough together to discuss important things while our teammates were hitting.
Jerry invented words.
Not on purpose, not to be funny, he just used them in conversation. I'm bad to say, "I don't know the word I'm thinking of." He would not do that. He would simply insert a word that might be similar to the word he wanted to use, a combination of two words or just simply make a grammatical error while shagging balls. I'm pretty sure you don't keep up with those on the baseball field.
We were at practice one day out in a big open field. I'm sure it had a backstop made out of chicken wire and bags of sand the coach had brought for bases. I shared with Jerry my interest in archery. At the time, I had a pretty simple bow that I liked to use to kill cardboard boxes and plastic milk cartons. I asked him if he knew where I could get a better bow and noted that a used one would be preferable because of the cost.
This was the day Jerry uttered a word that I will never forget.
Jerry responded to my question. He said, "You ought to check the moosealineous section in the newspaper." He meant "miscellaneous," but just couldn't pull it out at the time – so he said something close to it. He didn't laugh, make note of not knowing the word or even hesitate.
I didn't laugh, correct him or hesitate to tell him, "That's a great idea."
This word will always be in my vocabulary and I know the proper emphasis to put on "moose" when saying it. It makes me think of Jerry and Captain Kangaroo's "Mr. Moose." It's a happy word.
There are many words out there that folks just plain make up.
Rich Hall, a comedian who was on the HBO show, "Not Necessarily the News" in the 1980's had a part on the show where he discussed "sniglets." A sniglet is "any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should."
Some of my favorite sniglets from then and now…
Cheedle(chee' dul) - n. The residue left on one's fingertips after consuming a bag of Cheetos.
Choconiverous- adj. Biting off the head of the chocolate Easter bunny first.
Gromaxes(grom' ack sis) - n. Inside area of knees used to grip steering wheel when holding a map or atlas.
Hangle(hang' ul) - n. A cluster of coat hangers.
Ienvy(i-envy): the jealousy a person with a normal cell phone has when his friend or partner is on their iPhone. (My son has this when he notes, "I know Third Graders with iPhones.")
Irant(eye' rant) - n. A seamless pistachio; a pistachio nut afraid to come out in public. (I love pistachios and can appreciate the need for this word.)
Opling(op' pling) - n. The act, when feeding a baby, of opening and closing one's mouth, smacking one's lips and making "yummy" noises, in the hope that baby will do the same.
Prestofrigeration- n. The peculiar habit, when searching for a snack, of constantly returning to the refrigerator in hopes that something new will have materialized.
Purpitation- v. To take something off the grocery shelf, decide you don't want it, and then put it in another section. You've done it haven't you?
Testlice(test' lys) - n. Those tiny bugs that invade your hair when you're taking an exam. I've always wondered why my students scratch their heads so much during tests.
Yardribbons(yard rib' onz) - n. The unmowed patches of grass discovered after one has put away the mower. (My son seems to think his yardribbons are art.)
My advice is not to worry so much about picking the perfect word, friends know what you mean.
You won't find "sloved" anywhere, but I bet you've done it. Slove rhymes with love.
If you've "sloved" your dessert with anyone, you know what I mean.
Slove(sləv) – v. To share food out of love, sometimes even feeding each other.
They ordered a barbecue plate to go, and sloved it with plastic forks sitting on the hood of the car. He let her choose which end of the dill pickle spear she wanted.

Nothing but putdowns and getting pushed aside. Things couldn't get worse...could they? Jake and Roger were best friends when they were kids. But the politics of high school quickly pulled them apart. Now Roger doesn't fit in Jake's - or anyone's circle - and he's had enough. He walks onto campus with a gun in his pocket and pain in his heart and makes a tragic move. Jake's last-ditch effort can't stop Roger, and the sudden tragedy rocks Jake's world.

Last night I upgraded my Verizon prepaid phone. I had a Samsung intensity III. Over all the phone was not THAT bad, but the phone did lag pretty bad. Setting up calendar events was also a pain the ass. So I upgraded to the LG Extravert. So far I LOVE this phone, it's fast and for a resistive touch screen it's pretty responsive.. except for one thing.
My voice mail server at home records the caller ID information from people who call my house and sends a text message to my phone. The text message also includes their phone. On EVERY phone I've EVER owned, I could open the text message, hit the call key twice and it would proceed to dial the number.
On the LG Extravert, when I open the text message and press the call button it shows me the phone number but nothing happens when I press the call key again. If I tap on the number the only options I get is to create a new text message or add it to my address book or update an existing contact with this new number. It's SUPER ANNOYING!!!
Does anyone here know of a setting in the phone I might be overlooking which might correct this?
*Updated* 10 mins later
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY! i'm now TOTALLY in love with this phone. The phone just went from a 4 to a 5. I figured out the issue., When you open the text message, the phone number is underlined in the message itself. When you tap the underlined number, THEN you get an option to call it!
Hope this helps anyone else.

Have Enduro bikes evolved in the past 20-years?
I recently asked a local Husqvarna dealer: Which of his bikes he felt provided the most bang for the buck in the dirt? He responded that, if he was down to one bike for personal use, it would probably be the Husqvarna WR125.
As I looked at the spec sheet between the Husqvarna WR125 and CR125; I noticed that both have the same gearbox ratios; so a WR125 is essentially a CR125 with the additional weight of a lighting kit, an 18" rear wheel, and a kickstand. It's a marketing strategy by Husqvarna that reduces cost by using the same product (CR125) to target the Enduro market (WR125). This aligns with Husqvarna off-road contingency support.
The U.S. 2-stroke Enduro market is currently dominated by European manufacturers: KTM/Husaberg, Husqvarna, GasGas, TM, Beta. With only the KTM 150XC, and the Husqvarna WR125 catering to the U.S. small-bore 2-stroke Enduro market.
With the exception of the 2013 Yamaha YZ125, and the minis (KX100, RM85, YZ85); the Japanese manufacturers have given up on 2-strokes for the US Market; and have not produced a 2-stroke Enduro bike since the '06 KDX200, '98RMX250, and '97WR250.
Bump on any debate on 4-strokes vs. 2-strokes... or the KTM200EXC vs. a YZ144... or if a 144cc overbore is worth gaining 2HP
The KTM 150XC and the WR125 (comes w/ 144cc kit) engines are derived from the 125cc engine. Both use a single-backbone CrMo steel frame. A fuel-tank that saddles the single-tube backbone often provides a lower center-of gravity than a perimeter style frame.
I did a bit of research to find a Japanese dirt bike that was similar to the current Husqvarna WR125 design: CrMo Single-tube backbone (similar dimensions and steering geometry); 2-stroke motor ('square' bore x stroke) with reed valve intake, mechanical exhaust power valve; open-cartridge USD forks.
The 1997 Honda CR125R was the last year of the CrMo frame and arguably had the most powerful CR125 engine ever made. Honda ceased making 2-stroke dirt bikes in 2007. Yamaha still imports the YZ125. Although still available outside the USA; by 2007 Kawasaki and Suzuki stopped importing the KX and RM model.
Yamaha YZ125 '96 to '01 steel frame (Green Sticker) and '05 to current '13 aluminum frame (Red Sticker) are the most popular 125cc for Enduro conversion. Many say the YZ motor is the 'most-tractable' or 'least peaky', but in the 125cc context that observation may be relative. Common mods are a Steahly flywheel weight, and Athena 144cc big-bore kit. '02-'04 YZ125 had a 5-speed transmission. Punt on debate on 5-speed vs. 6-speed. The YZ PSS suspension is considered much more 'sophisticated' than the KTM or Husqvarna components. 'Sophisticated' may be in the MX context and not the off-road/trail environment.
The KX125 were imported until '07, RM125 were imported to the US until '08. Both the KX125 and RM125 had steel frames. Regarding weight difference: AMA rules is the primary driver. KTM linkage-less PDS suspension and steel frame design produced lighter bikes. As far as motors: the Hybrid sub-culture of KX engines in CR frames may be a indicator of best of breed.
A 125cc 2-stroke Enduro hasn't evolved much in the past 20-years. Explanations: Manufacturer R&D investment in 2-stroke technology; limitations in weight, suspension, and chassis design for the off-road environment: ability to effectively put HP/Torque to the ground in a wide range of traction conditions.
So what's all this chatter on the dirt-bike forums about 2-strokes making a come-back? ( do you follow Superhunky? ) KTM/Husaberg leads in 2-stroke R&D investment. Yamaha seems to still be committed as they were in the 70's vs. Honda 4-stroke bias; but the YZ line changes at a glacial pace relative to KTM. Husqvarna simply has less R&D funds, so they reuse technology from their emission compliant models: as a result some of the Husqvarna technology is criticized as a little long in the tooth. Comparing the differences between a 20-year old 2-stroke 125cc motocrosser and a current Husqvarna WR125 seems to be appropriate.
125cc 2-strokes are arguably much less expensive to rebuild than their 4-stroke brethren. 125cc 2-strokes are easy to find since most riders are trading-up to 250cc 4-strokes. In California: Green-sticker 2-strokes are the most desirable. I hit CraigsList and discovered that a pre-aluminum perimeter frame Honda CR125 can be found for under $1000.
Is a Japanese 125cc 2-stroke viable for Enduros (F.I.M. E1 class)? For the 'Hobby class' in Europe a used 125cc MX bike modified (lighting kit, protection) for Enduros are very common, and may provide an inexpensive alternative. Note: Although proven on the 250cc engines, the debate continues on the advantage of flywheel weight on the 125cc engines. For similar reasons, a gutless bottom-end that is difficult to improve, FMF doesn't market a Gnarly pipe for the 1/8 liter bikes. Just fan the clutch and keep the revs in the powerband!
The similarities between a 2013 Husqvarna WR125 and a 1992-1997 Honda CR125R are quite revealing:
The steering geometry specifications, weight, and dimensions imply that the 1997 CR125 was more nimble than the current 2013 WR125. The transmission gear ratios reveal the CR125 had a wider gear ratio range compared to the WR125. I'm not convinced that the 30 lbs. difference in dry weight can be accounted for in the WR125 lighting equipment and kickstand.
Clarke and IMS make larger fuel tanks for both models; the pre '95 Honda CR125 is equipped with a 100/100-18 rear wheel which is a direct swap for the '96+ 19" MX rim; and Enduro equipment (Skid plate, pipe guard, hand guards) are readily available from the after-market. Suspension tuning will get the cartridge forks and rear shock sorted for off-road riding.
To add to the argument in the CA OHV context: The 1997 Honda CR125 is eligible for Green Sticker; and the Husqvarna WR125 is a Red Sticker bike.
When was the last time you rode a sub-200 lbs. bike that revs to the moon; and cost less than a grand? It's just too much fun!
The objective of this effort is to get the 'best bang for the buck': Can you get a great Enduro ride without breaking the bank?: A budget of $2000 or less or do you have to fork out $6000+ for current 4-stroke (or a KTM or Husqvarna 2-stroke).
So this kicks off the 1997 CR125 Project... yes, we've got one! and already have it converted to Enduro spec just in time for the January 20th, 2013 Prairie City Grand Prix.
1998 Husqvarna WR125 received the Marzocchi 45mm USD Cartridge Forks.
1998-2010 CR125/SM/WR/WRE125 share same Wossner piston and Top-end rebuild kits;
1998-2012 CR125/WR125 use the same conrod
Same bore x stroke: but cylinders have different part numbers through the years.
38mm Mikuni TMX. 1999-2012 use same intake manifold.
ProCircuit makes the same pipe for 1999-2004. FMF designed the same Fatty Pipe for 2000-2002 models; 2003-2006
All had 6-speed transmissions. 2000-2011 Clutch is same as 1986-1999 Honda CR125
Brake caliper pad are same rear 1998-2009; Same front 1998-2004 then 2005-2009.
I'll have to leave it to y'all to figure out the significant changes from 1998 to 2013. Here's a link to the evolution of Husqvarna 125cc bikes: http://www.motodacross.com/husqvarna/cr125.htm?a
================================================== ====
$7096 Eye candy: 2012 HM Moto CRE 125R
Utilizes 2007 Honda CR125 frame, porting, NiCaSil cylinder, and transmission with compression ratio bumped up to 12.5:1. Dell'Orto VHST 28 carburetor (same as Aprilia RS125), ignition map selector switch, Acerbis plastics, Blackbird graphics, Vertex pistons, Maestroni expansion chamber, LeoVince silencer, Domino controls, SuperSprox sprockets. Options for Paoili 41mm or Kayaba 46mm USD fork; 'wave' brake rotors, and electric start.
HM Moto choked down the carburetor from a 38mm Mikuni TMX down to a 28mm Dell'Orto VHST to meet Euro 3 emission standards and be street legal. Note the e-start displaced left side kick start and right side chain.

You seem to make a lot of assumptions based on spec sheets.
There is more to a motorcycle than a spec sheet, some bikes look great on paper but shit in the flesh, and some bikes should be crap according to the specs, but seem to work really well.
Ride a 93 bike and a current bike and get back to us.

The CR was not a "shit in the flesh" machine,it was somewhat peaky for enduro but as he says a flywheel conversion may help this problem.I myself would love a real world comparison of the two and actually think his research may be well founded.Outside the usual brakes and rotor upgrade and both machines with no fuel injection I must be missing something that you see?
The most glaring upgrade would suggest suspension, the CR has more travel but might need a re-valve or lighter spring but the components are fairly comparable.

I almost bought a Wr 250 otd for 5500 but I have enough loans and trying to pay my debt down and dont want anymore payments.Hopefully When I do ge tin a better situation They will still be there and affordable for 5700-6000 as I will not pay 8 grand for a dirtbike that wont be worth 2 grand in 3-5 years.THis sport is getting off the knucking futz hook and is getting really really redicoulously unaffordable.I wanted it street legalized and in the peoples republic of nj where there is already to many godamned laws and regulations Im told its a grey area .meaning if you get someone in DMV that doesnt know it will get thru and vice versa.This is too much of a crap shoot for me.They tried to sell me a te 310 Im like Nope dont want a 4 stroke already have an Aprilia RXV and it worries me because if it blows up it will cost6 grand for a new mill which I neither have and neither will pay for .Yes my Ape still runs but if it blows up it will be a very silent and expensive boat anchor sitting in the backof the garage as i will not fix it.maybe Ill stick a cr 500 engine in it

Yamaha has really upgraded 2 stroke technology but uses it only on their snow machines not on bikes. Perhaps Husky's new 300 2T in 2014 will get them all thinking about this again. just watch the endurocross circuit or chk out the weekend warriors on Michigan single track. Many of them are still keeping or going BACK TO 2Ts. Why not run a 200 KTM? It seems to meet all your needs and already has good torque.

Those Huskys aren't too far off from their original designs from Cagiva, when was that, the1980s?
We had a 09 WR125, boosted to a 144 with Eric Gorr porting for top end. Ran great. Suspension was pretty awesome with just proper springs.
Our current "old" bike is a nearly new 1999 KTM 125SX with new gen forks, shock, wheels, brakes and proper valving for GNCC. It does everything very well. It is a rocket too.
If you want the latest development in a mainstream 2t, the new KTMs are it. Bottom line though, the rider makes a bigger difference and a well tuned and fresh older bike can compete. Our 2002 380SX was competeting at a very high level last year and was far too much motor for tight hare scrambles. After the holeshot it was a bear to deal with. That rider is on the old 125 now.
Last time I checked, the WR Huskys were on the list of approved street legal bikes in NJ.

Did you pick the CR over a YZ simply because of the California regulations?
////Love where this is going. I have been thinking about a lightweight 2 stroke to boost my woods smiles to miles ratio.
Conventional wisdom says KDX, but I want a) super lightweight and b) a project!. I've looked at DSing a KX100 - they are only 157 lb (rivaling a trials bike!) but they don't have full size wheels (19/16),
The Husky definitely seems overweight- it's about the same as a KDX200 /220 @ 220 lb. Why bother with the Husky, when you could throw some KX USD forks on a KDX, get a suspension revalve, and have a much more tractable engine ad the same weight for way way less than a new Husky.

The current technology developments on 2-strokes are turbocharging and EFI. We'll throw it electric start . In 2009 TM Racing announced they would release a EFI 2-stroke... but as of today TM Racing 125/144 still have the Keihin PWK 38.
Why not run a KTM200? Read on... (besides we already have one but want to constrain ourselves play within the F.I.M. EWC E1 rules).
Examining the current EWC and Extreme series.: The E1 class is dominated by 250cc 4-strokes since 2-strokes are limited to 125cc. E2 class is split between 450cc 4-strokes and 250cc 2-strokes. Similar to E2, EnduroCross has become the domain of the 350 4-stroke.
But in the E3 class and Extreme/Hard series, despite the availability of >450cc 4-strokes, this class is dominated by the 300cc 2-strokes.
Unlike the late 70's and early '80s when there was frequent experimentation through trial & error, and rapid advances in both 2-stroke engine and suspension development, dirt bike technology in the last 20-years has plateaued. Most of the recent developments have focused on utilizing lighter or stronger materials to permit designs with more efficient mass centralization around the engine, or repositioning the motor to improve handling.
2-stroke engine development have been limited since the perfection of 'snail' exhaust chamber design, exhaust power-valves, reed blocks, and flat slide electronic TPS and Accelerator pump enabled carburetors became available and affordable (economies of scale) to the general market. One motorsport that continues to push the development in 2-stroke engines is karting: SwedeTech and link to National Karting News article on the CR125 Moto class.
The new frontier for 2-strokes is in EFI, and turbocharging. EFI R&D is driven by stricter emission regulations. Public perception of emission issues from 2-strokes still favor EFI R&D for 4-strokes. Turbocharging may not be viable for dirt bikes due to additional weight and heat generation. We expected TM to release an EFI 2-stroke in 2009. There's rumour of Husqvarna EFI 2-strokes in 2014.
Honda's release of aluminium twin-spar frames in 1997 followed by Yamaha in 2005 against KTM/Husaberg retention of CrMo single backbone frames imply that the verdict isn't out on the advantages of aluminium frames. Disadvantages are: additional weight to achieve equivalent torsional strength, which resulted in excessive rigidity in the early over-built aluminium frames.
Rising linkage single shock rear suspension have reached the limits of development, and are subject to the 'Law of Diminishing Returns'. Suspension evolution seems to reveal the open-cartridge forks are better suited for off-road, and the closed-cartridge forks are generally preferred in MX. Many of the suspension improvements are already known (reducing unsprung weight, geometries, rigidity, reducing stiction), but availability to the market is constrained by cost. The KYB Pneumatic Fork Spring and associated technologies as used by Fox in MTB shocks, are still pending market response.
I find the GasGas EC300 easier to be a 'lazy rider' over the KTM 200EXC; but that doesn't mean faster. The CR125R sorted out may be a faster woods bike than the KDX200 we've owned; we shall see...
The 1997 CR125R has been described as the most powerful CR125 motor, and is the last year of the 1992-1997 CrMo steel frame, In 1998 Honda adopted the aluminum frame (1997 for the CR250R) and a 5-speed transmission.
The YZ125 is still imported to the US.

I have an 09 husky wr300. Been riding dirt bikes since 1977. I used to have a 87 husky cr250 among many bikes. Have ridden all the more recent bikes, ktm 300, yz 250, honda cr250, gas gas 300 etc. To this day I have not ridden a bike with the suspension/handlnig and stability as my 87 cr250. The power was right there with todays bikes too. It felt hevier than my 09 though for sure. But, unless your a faster intermediate rider or above you can spend maybe 2500 on an older dirt bike. Tune it and get suspension dialed in and you can easily keep up with the rich shlubs all day long on theier 8-9k ktm 300's. Take the money you saved and go to some Steve wise classes or something. My 01 cr250 had that "holy shit" kind of power that would put any of the new bikes to shame. As a matter of fact service honda uses toe 01 motor in its new cr 250's. Newer isn't always better

I could give 2 shits about emissions the way this country is going w jobs is by the time the greens have there way were are gonna be too poor to afford anything forget about green technology at that point.Years ago In my town we had the right to know act,we all called it right to blow act to be funny but when it was over I pulled the health officer/administrator of the town who gave the class.I asked her why Russia hasnt done anything about its pollution problems,she replied the people have to eat first and dont worry about pollution until much much later in the game.I see 10 years later from that class that if we stay on this current socialist over governed path we will be in the same ill fated place.I might be wrong but the middle class cant keep getting cornholed like we are.Ill have to check into the husky wr from another dealer,either they will have it go out the door street legal or it will be no sale.there will be no well maybe or maybe not.

Lets see your cr! The light weight had me interested in one but found that the hig revs required cancelled out the two stroke stealth factor needed around here.
That CRE125 you posted sent me on a wild goose chase when you stated it was a honda motor with electric start. It must be a rotax instead like whats used in the 125cc aprilia models.

Sum bitch, best thread I've read in quite a while. I'm no stranger to the smokers, use to race them long before they had silencers on the pipes..... I recently picked up two $100.00 dirt bikes. The first a 96 RM125 with nothing resembling compression. Threw a top end, fluid swap, carb clean etc and sent it down the road to a local kid.
The second bike is a 98 YZ125. Was barn fresh with plenty of compression. Fluids swap, carb clean.......etc. I think I paid as much for the graphics kit as I did the bike
Anywho. One thing i've been painfully reminded of over the years is the fun factor is not directly proportianal to the amount of money you spend. On any given day I've at least 20 or more bikes. Including the latest greatest orange bikes. The bikes that were loaded in the back of the van a few hours ago , in preparation for this weeks 2 day moto getaway include the above mentioned 98 YZ125 and a free Chinese 50cc Scooter ( wifeys beater) But hey, My new bikes look super trick parked in front of the shop.............

The 1997 CR125 with a FMF Turbine Silencer tested quieter (87.1 dB) than my GasGas EC300 with an FMF Q-Stealth silencer. Here's the sound check results from CA OHV sound tests. The 4-strokes are much louder.
The 125 is a blast to ride... it's a 'mini' that demands you ride WFO! and maintain momentum; but sucks on hills and deep mud.
As far as lighweight bikes are concerned. We prefer our trials bikes when it gets really gnarly.
We took the opposite approach - Keep it simple (K.I.S.S.) and not go overboard. This is Project Low Bucks! : We held a yard sale, sold a bunch of spare parts, useless farkles, and used riding gear on CraigsList to raise the funds to purchase this 1997 CR125R also listed on Craigslist. We've kept the project budget under $1000 before the first 50-hrs. top-end rebuild.
We didn't want to be wrenching - we had to go riding!
We discovered that a proper Trials bike with additional fuel range is much more capable; in fact, as the Europeans know, a Trials bike is superior to any other bike in very tight and gnarly tracks. Trials bikes regularly outperformed MX based 250cc 2-st/450cc 4-st in Endurocross and were banned after the 2007 season.
Lessons Learned: When we want to attempt to show up our fellow riders in gnarly terrain and hill climbs; we ride our Trials bikes over our GasGAS EC300, KTM200EXC, or this CR125R. Side note: I still keep a Husqvarna TE450 as a 'desert sled' but prefer a KTM450EXC (RFS) I previously owned; or better yet a Husaberg FE470E which I should have kept; BUT I would never consider taking any of these thumpers into gnarly terrain when I have the lighter 2-strokes.
Here are a few videos that are quite revealing:
