They say insanity is genetic...you get it from your kids...

So my son asks me what i want for Christmas, of course I tell him a KTM 300 EXC-E elecrtic start...

Was that my outside voice?

Sorry...I told him I didn't want anything. He gave me a choice between a new set of Acerbis hand guards or he'd have my head mod'd by Ron.

Well THAT's a no brainer.

So sez he, why don't you go ahead and get the carb mod'd too?

Nah I sez, I wasn't planning on ever getting the mod's done at all cuz I'm happy with how it runs now...well sort of. As I get better at more technical riding I am starting to notice a slight lack of power at times. It could be that big ol' 4.50 x 18 MT 16 on the rear or maybe it my big ol' belly...prolly BOTH, anyways...

Using that logic I finally caved and grabbed the carb off the bike (hell it was easy) and we took it down to Ron and dropped it off.

I figure "what the hell?" might as well live a little. Merry Christmas to me!

I got to meet the man himself, he answered the door in a T shirt and sweats, sneakers and an earring. I told him that he was quite the celebrity, at least amongst us on this site. He said we way over rate his work. He's a very humble guy but after seeing the results of his work on Waz Jr's bike I'd have to say he don't know his own strength

So in a moment of insanity inspired by my own flesh and blood I guess I'll have all the cool mods.

Thanx to Ron for offering it done by weeks end but I don't need it till after the first.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Excellent Waz! Seems there's allot of self-Christmasing going around!

You won't regret it!

Get the thumb screw too!

WHAT!?!?

You must think I'm made of money...

Hey!...Good idea...an early birthday present!

Waz

Yea, but did you get a Christmas card from him?

When you go pick up your carb, take a camera and snap a photo or two. I wanna see what a celebrity looks like. Ha!!

+ 1 on that, always nice to put a face on a name.

Photo? Now I see why no Christmas card....................

If he's not allergic to cameras I'll see if he will agree to being photographed.

He's a nice guy but you know how celebrities are...leary of paparazzi...

Just ask Britney Spears!

I may have to sneak a shot though the shop window from the tree next door....

Be careful 'bout that.

RB may shoot as well as he machines

I know I sure as hell would shoot someone peeking in my windows with a camera: Although it would be nice to put a face to a name.

The description giving of Ron at the start of this thread had me invisioning a clone of CC. So that is the vision that is going to stay in my head until such time as a photo of Ron appears in a thread. Now if THAT doesn't scare Ron then what will??

Maybe Blackmail - I think a photo of Mr. Black would also make those of us that DID NOT GET CHRISTMAS cards forgive him!! What say you?

IC, pretty easy to send someone else......to face the live rounds.

You've been an officer?

Maybe we should give RB the chance to *submit* a photo...before we commit troop(s) to action?

This has certainly turned into an intellectual discussion, has it not?

Comparing him to CC won't help you get a card, ya know!

Did you go in on a Friday and he said by weeks end??

I shipped Ron my 200 head for a race gas cut and ordered a
Air Striker as well.
I shipped from Michigan a week ago monday and received it back
the following monday.
Thats what I call FAST turn around.
I think he received it on wednesday afternoon and it was back in
the mail thursday for the return trip.
It sure is nice to look at. I put the head on last night and ran it around
the yard in 2 foot of snow for a second and put it away before I got hurt.
I'm waiting to put the Air Striker on until I can test just the head mod.

Merry Christmas Everyone !!

I was there late last Tuesday afternoon. He's very fast. He has quite a shop in his little garage. He must do something besides KDX heads!

He can do a head same day...a carb mod takes a little longer. Yours was an already a finished product...or did he give your carb the Air Striker mod?

Either way he's good...

BTW I got off my sons mod'd KDX before I hurt someone or myself too! There is quite a difference!

Oh and...I'll ask him before I post any pictures!

Waz

He did the head and sold me the AS

Well I picked up the parts and put them on...

WOW!

What a difference! Popped right to life on the second kick...sounded absolutely bad a$$, must be the increased compression.

And the new jetting was spot on!

Thank you Ron, I can't say I didn't know that the KDX had it in it but WOW...I wasn't quite ready for the change. It was all I could do to keep the front wheel on the ground.

Soon I will try and find that second sweet spot and I'll be anxious to take it up in the hills here when the weather breaks.

Big bang for a few bucks, two thumbs way up...
