My Hybrid sold follow up story.......

Post by THill »

Well I sold my # 1 Hybrid a few weeks to a guy that lives about 30 minutes away from me...Said he had a 05 220 to put into it that already had all the goodstuff done to the motor, RB carb & head......
Well it turns out that the KDX 220 was his wifes and she is the new and VERY HAPPY owner of my ole #1....I got to meet her the other night and she said she loves the way it handles plus the lighter weight and was able to take turns alot better... Her husband is going to soften up the suspension just abit for her but other than that shes ready to riding and can't wait to show it off, ( and i think show some others up ).....Hopefully I can get her husband to get some pic's up of her riding it soon....

Yea I know......

I talked to him last night and am just SICK that I didn't buy your roller.

Time just wasn't right for me I guess but, I plan on seeing that bike in person soon and claiming dibs if he ever decides to sell it :cool:

I have seen hybrid #2 and it's awesome. We had a great ride at highland park. We just rode on Saturday and worked the mx race on Sunday. My wife loved the hybrid and she is very happy with it. Here is the highlight of the weekend, my 7 year old daughter entered the race on a crf50 and took home the 1st place trophy! I'm so proud of her! The track is a 2.3 mile long MXGP track and it was muddy and super gnarly. Practice was at 9am and it was so muddy that none of the 50's made it all the way around the track. There are a few steep up hills and down hills and the little bikes tires just got clogged with mud and literally wouldn't go. So all but two of the 50cc riders gave up and decided not to race. I left it up to Kelsey whether she would race or not and she said I want to do it. So moto 1 comes up at around noon (track was a little dryer) and kelsey and a boy on a mini adventure 50 line up. She wrecked 3 times getting around the track but got her bike up every time and kept going. The boy on the ktm was in a different age group, so she was really racing by herself. When she was coming across the finish line at moto 1, I looked over at one of the guys that put on the race and he had tears streaming down his face (I did to). He gave me a high 5 and said thats the coolest thing I've ever seen. They told her that she didnt have to race moto 2 b/c she had already locked in 1st place for her age group. She said, no I'm racing! Moto 2 she made it around the track without any trouble. I dont know who was more excited her or me. I would post a few pics but I'm not sure how.

That my friends, is why I like to work the kids portion of our club race every year! Seeing the determination and the smiles when they are done are worth all the work!
