Hi all,
I am 43 I've been riding bikes and quads since I was 11. My history with off-roading and motorcycles goes like this; I have owned an old mc1b 90cc Kawi 1974 which was my first bike. rotary valve 2 stroke. Then a 1988 Tecate 250 4 Wheeler bought in 1991 was stolen 1996. Replaced with a Yamaha Banshee in 1998 which has been restored and wrecked and still owned needs a front end due to a close meet and greet with a Polaris razor that stopped and parked in my landing area while in mid air in a 3rd gear hill crest, 2004 Yfz450LE Bought new still running strong. 1986 kx125 bought rode for a year and sold too peaky for me, bought a 1994 kx250 that was involved in 2 different people going to the hospital so I sold that as bad things happen in 3's and I was not going to be that guy. I also have a 1982 YZ250 that I began to disassemble for restoration.
Finally bought a kdx 200. 1989 with a pro circuit pipe and spark Arrestor on it, and a works connection skid plate. I have the shock rebuilt, new bars, tusk hand guards, and grips, new linkage bearings, wheel bearings, new IRC vulcanduro for the rear, new brake pads, fenders, headlight (green), sprockets and chain. I also have owned a few street bikes and sleds but currently have a 2006 apex gt for winter and a 2000 VMAX with Supertrapps on it for my pavement escapades. I am interested in picking you guys brains and learning about these great bikes as I wrench all my own stuff (shock service excluded currently) and will have a bunch of questions, So Thanks in advance and thanks for the info and the great site.
