toys. my next door neighbors 13 year old son just got a brand new Kawasaki 125 motocross bike. I think i spent half the weekend with my face pressed up against the window watching him ride it in his backyard.

If there was one "toy" i could buy, a mx bike would be the one. god i miss that stuff.

was never to into mx but loved hare scambles. i have a 96 kdx 200 with a 2002 kx 500 engine shoehorned in. custom titanium swing arm and a titanium tripple clamp. i rode it a total of 2 times last year.



:-o

Those 500's rip. You must have access to an airport runway. You need space to open those up. :-D

Ah, I remember those days another lifetime ago. CZ 250, YZ 250, CR250. I think I'm still healing!

Here's my scoot. It's a 2003 Yamaha Wolverine. It's got Warn 424 unlocker so I can run around in 2wd and have fun sliding the rear end around corners. I added back rack and cargo box. I threw on a set of heated grips and a thumb warmer; that was money well spent. Quads make sense here in CT since we don't really get enough snow for a sled.

I had a dirt bike in highschool I told myself I'd always get something else down the road. Funny, some things you never outgrow.

life is to short not to........get divorced? cause thats what would happen if i showed up at home with any two wheeled motorized vehicle.

Get her one too. Thats what I did. Got her a Susuki DR 200 a nice easy beginner bike while I finagled a TTR 250. She now likes my sons new TTR 230. now we get to go out on family rides.

i have it geared pretty low 1,2,3 and the others are full on screamin. i have hit 150 on it before out in the desert. one of the kawa reps saw it and was drooling. i actually change ratios on it all the time depending on what i was riding. when i machined mt tripple i gave it a we bit more rake so it handled better at speed. i like two strokes so much better because i can service it in the middle of nowhere. shit aint going to happen with a 4 stroke.
i wish there where more places to ride around here
