What are the rules on building a "scrambler" style CBxxx and running that?You cannot swap out the whole frame for titanium apparently, and have to use some form of gasoline to power the bike, and it must be rear wheel drive, otherwise it's pretty open. :dunno: I cannot really summarize reasonably, so here you go. Starts on page 44:

Right now I'm trying to find a good page that might explain what kind of gear I should order. Like, the bare minimum is boots and a helmet, but I want to know ALL the stuff I should really have. One guy's list I found:
1. boots (but just regular short socks--not those super long things)
2. shin guards with the knee cup (and I cut the straps off--the boots hold them in place)
3. good quality race pants with lycra type shorts for underwear (keeps the monkey butt in check)
4. Fox Titan elbow guards (these are the best I have ever used, and they stay in place)
5. chest protector
6. camelback
7, Fox tiger paw gloves--very nice!
8. full face helmet
9. goggles with a good tear-off system
10 I prefer a cotton long-sleeve jersey rather than a regular synthetic top
