Howdy from Houston!

Post by GaryH »

I have been lurking around and checking out all the tech tips, and I have to say Im impressed. And I thought I would say hi.

A little about myself. Transplanted from So Cal where I used to race MX, TT, Flat track etc. (in the 70s) Been here in Houston for 30 years and recently got the urge to start riding again. After a couple of weeks of searching the web for bikes, I belive the KDX200 will be my choice. I probably wont do any racing, but I am an aggressive trail rider. So most likely Ill be doing the RB carb and head mods, pipe etc. Im a bigger guy at 6'1" and 220 lbs, so I assume some suspension upgrading will be in my future.

Just about all the info I need is righ here on this site. Yall got it together. Good job guys. Thanks.

Welcome Gary!

Alot of us are agressive woods riders. That's not to say we would be good MXr's but they are 2 different animals. I'm a big TT fan myself. I really like Chris Carr (The Prince of Peoria) as he is known. Ever race in Peoria Illinois? They have a jump that makes it very interesting to say the least.

Thanks for the welcome Inda. Im too old and too lazy to get into MX shape anymore. :partyman:

Just planning on ripping up some singletrack and maybe an occaisonal enduro.



Naw, never raced in Ill. Only in Cali. Back when I ran Minis. We had a blue groove track that was really nice but Im sure its long gone.

Welcome Gary. I used to live in San Bernadino (in the early 70's) when I could just hop on my bike, ride out my back door and not stop until I hit the lights of Vegas. (If I could remember where the gas stops were!)

Hope you enjoy Huston and your future with a KDX.

I'd rather be a smartass like carvr, than a dumbass like.... well, you fill in the blank!
