hey guys, just a few days ago i traded in my little 88 yamaha DT50LC for a 96 kawasaki KDX 200
growing up in the netherlands ive owned a handfull of 50-70cc bikes like honda MTs, MTXs, suzuki TSXs and even a yamaha DTR
i almost killed myself on the last TSX i had when a VW eurovan run a yield sign and tried to pull out in front of me
took me two days to wake up from that hit and 6 months to learn how to walk again
then i didnt have any bikes for 8 or 9 years untill my sister in law gave me a 73 yamaha RD250 which someone left in the church basement ages ago
i fiddled with it for a while and ended up selling it
then i bought the DT50LC hoping i could register it as a moped but because of the power output and the 6 gears the SOS made me register it as a motorcycle and this forced me to get my motorcycle endorsement
well, once i had the endorsement the 50CC wouldnt do anymore and here we are :)
so far i am loving this bike (though i feel like it takes forever to warm up...maybe i ought to clean the carb)
i have some plans for the future (just read the recommended mod list) but for starters in working on making this bike a little more "roadworthy"
a set of blinkers, an actual horn and proper switches
once i figure out why my photobucket isnt working ill post some pics
hey guys...here i am

Welcome to the site! Glad you survived your eurovan experience to share that with us. I have been thinking about getting my street license; but every time the thought enters my head, someone tells a story.
I don't mind hitting trees. I'm okay with that.

i do enjoy riding on the streets just as much as i do riding in the woods
but i garantee you the trees pay more attentions to bikers then cars do
