New guy from Missouri

Hi everyone, after lurking on here for a couple years I've decided to join the party. My boys each have H models. One a 98, and the other a 01. Currently I'm riding a 03 WR250f. I'm constantly amazed at how great the KDX truly is. Back in the day I raced hare scrambles on an XR250R, and I remember looking at the green bikes with a wanting eye, however I worked for a Honda dealership so it was not to be. Now, 20 plus years later I finally have the little green wonders and wish I was working for a Kawasaki dealership back then. The boys and I usually make a couple trips a year down to northern Arkansas or Chadwick and would like to join other riders sometime. I doubt I'll be able to give as much as I have received from this site but I'll help when I can.

What part of mo. are you in? I'm near butler 64730 south of KC 60 miles. I've been riding a kdx for several years but recently bought a Beta xtrainer.

Welcome, I'm also from Missouri, NW Missouri. I have ridden at Chadwick once back in 1999. Would like to go back again.

I live close to Chilicothe, the x trainer looks like a truly great bike. Haven't had a chance to look at one up close. But I've seen a few videos on YouTube from the cross training vids. Just love a smooth 2 stroke.

I'm sure we'll be heading back down next fall, our summer trip is up in the air at the moment as my oldest is heading to Oshkosh, WI in July.

Chillicothe isn't too far from me, I am about 45 miles west of you. I know how it is with work and kids it's hard to get any time. You ever ride at Finger Lakes in Columbia?

Sounds like your oldest is possibly a pilot?

I'm from Kingsville, just east of Lee's Summit. We usually drag a group down to Chadwick twice a year. There's not one of us close to a "pro" rider. Both my boys are in the military, so we try to go when one or both get leave. Love the KDX's down there. I'll have to look you up this spring when we are thinking of going

He's not a pilot, at least not yet. I know he will be someday.

Sounds great, we're not pros either. Everytime we go down I think we leave better riders.
