New to board from the woods and desert of washington
Posted: 12:37 pm Sep 14 2013
Im finding a ton of info from this site and really appreciate your sharing , Im a 62 year old has been Pro AMA racer , having raced Flat track ,Road racing ,And Hare scrambles.
My 14 year old son has shown a interest in riding a few years back and now has Dad riding the woods and desert of washington state , My son outgrew his 125 quickly and i started thinking about all my old friends and how much fun we used to have on the KDX bikes back in the day .
I played with the idea for a while and my riding buddys told me i was crazy to entertain the thought of such a antiquated machine this day and age .
I bought a 2009 Suzuki RMZ 250 and its a great bike , but I longed for the old two stroke feel .
I saw a add one night for a 2003 KDX 220R and i made the call . It turned out to be owned by a riding buddy i had known for 40 years or better and he was hanging up the dirt helmet for a road bike .
The 220 R was in imaculate shape and very well cared for . I was bitten hard once again by the KDX bug.
I found another 2001 220 in decent shape a while back and now my 115 LB 14 year old son is riding it . The little green machines are showing just how great a little bike they are by out preforming my friends 4 strokers in the big mountains of washington state .
The desert is not such a easy task for the KDX BUT we can still keep up LOL. hard to beat horsepower in the sand .
My son and i have been upgrading the 220's as the RMZ collects dust in the shop . Once again thanks for sharing . Jerry .
