    The SX-350 is mounted on the bottom cover and they are rare as hens teeth. I have 5 of them in my secret stock room. I'm the only one who has the key.

    I was on my YAMAHA yesterday. 275 miles worth.

    You want me to come down and show you how to take off on it like I did on your CZ-250?

    If you can get a SIRIO 4000 or 5000. Best antenna for the money. I routinely talk 20 to 25 miles on it around a noisy city. Lots of QRM in Louisville, KY. You'll hit far fewer trees and power lines with it. My 108" whips used to thump over passes on the highway unless I was going at least 65 Mph. Plus I took out some fluorescent tubes when I first put them on. Welcome to one of the best boards on the internet.

    Yes sir, the sirio 4000 or 5000 works well even as a mag mount, with my setup I talk routinely out to 50 miles locally. Great antenna for dx'ing!! And it's very broad banded. Has good VSWR readings from 26.0-28.0mhz. It does get a bit high on the ends of the this freq range, but will work just fine.

    Ummm.... no! That trick only works once on me, and it did. "Careful boy, this bike will kill you!" You have to admit that was a fast ass bike and lot of power for a 7th grader, but it was awesome to have the fastest dirt bike within my group.
