Hey Everyone!
My name is Erik, and a 35 year old dirt-bike-aholic. I am an Operating Engineer with the IOEU Local 286, and employed at a ice cream manufacturing facility in Bellevue, Washington. I am happily married with one child. Interests include riding my bikes of course, computer programming, industrial automation, robotics and fabrication.
I joined the site because I am interested in information on the KDX range for my son. He is currently riding the IT, and he loves it. But, he is beginning to reach the limitations of the brakes/suspension and parts availability. I thought that a KDX200 would be ideal for him to transition on. I also thought that a KX/KDX hybrid would be an excellent father/son project a couple of years down the road.
