At age 13, I was the proud owner of a New 1981 KDX175A-2. Loved that bike.
If you run into Heidi, have her look me up in her little black book and give me a call.
Im feelin a little wild today.

My first bike.
My first dirt bike was a 1984 kdx 200. I picked it up for 500 bucks. This thing was probably in the worst shape it could possibly be in and still run. To say it was abused is a major understatement. I've only had this bike for about a month and a half now. I just kinda jumped in to the whole thing. Baptism by fire I guess you could say. After extensive hours searching for parts, info, etc. I stumbled on this site and on to Fredette Racing and learned about everything I needed to know about my 84' kdx 200. I am still learning the bike, but so far I love it and am glad to have it.

1976 Honda Z50. Auto clutch/3speed. It had handlebars that you could release where it connects to the triple clamp to make it compact. You could literally put the bike in the back of a car trunk easily - still standing upright.
First real bike was a yellow and black 1979 YZ 80 - Go Bob Hannah!!! The bike was aircooled but had a monoshock so I thought I was really hi tech then. All the kids in the block wanted to ride it. Fun times.

I had a 1985 ATC 250 Big Red and life was fine. Then my father bought a DT100 for my brother, and I fell in love with the new found freedom a bike provides over the ATV's. So I got a 1985 IT 200 as my first bike at 16. Now 38, after trying half the bikes in the world I still own and ride my second bike, a 1992 KDX 200
