hi guys, thought i'd introduce myself...

i've had a love of all bikes since a very young age, and i guess its never budged.  I used to race in a diesel MRA series a few years back on one of these:
2000 KTM 520SX




i decided i needed more power and speed so i bought one of these:
1996 suzuki GN125 = a complete weapon (NOT)!



i garaged it for a year so i could get a no claims bonus!

meanwhile i had a slight accident on the KTM and all enthuisiam for mucky fields left me.

so i sold the crosser and got one of these:



dont worry - to satisfy my off-road urges and to dirty myself at the weekend i got one of these:



i loved the engine in this - but i just didnt get out on it enough, and because i spent all of my time on the trials 'bicycle' it had to go :-(

life was good for a while, but i often dreamt of plumes of sweet smelling smoke, and i guess my fetish for 2-strokes never left me.

So i spent about 1 year looking around for a quality 2 smoke bike, until i luckly found one of these:

My regret was not taking pictures of it before the restoration work  :(

4 solid months in the garage (12th september - Xmas day 05'), while my girlfriend was in africa and out popped this:





this is one bike i plan to never part with!

anyways - all the working in the garage suddenly stopped, and i felt lost - know where to escape.

I'm now looking for another project/scheme to keep busy.

Ive always liked kawasaki's and their 'green; in your face presence. A couple of chums that used to have a hornet and ducati 998, recently sold their bikes and are looking for KTM motards for the road to get their kicks.

Then i one day i decided a KX500 would be a fun machine to ride and i did i bit of interneting to see what i could see........i came across this:





for me it was love at first sight!  :shock:  i had to find out more......

i had no idea that this bike had a cult following >>>  the hunt had started!


trying to find one so far has'nt been easy - i've place wanted ads in a couple of papers, but no leads.......

I'm probally going to have to go the the mainland UK to get a nice one.

Buying a pre-road registered one would be easier, but if i found a really fresh, well looked after MX one i would deffinately be tempted.


anyways - this forum looks to be a very valuable source of info for KX5 owners.

Hopefully soon i'll make the club   :D

Oh yeah!

When i finally get another MX bike - i'll be lookin towards a 250 diesel!  :shock:

Timbowe:
You need 2 KX500s. 1 on road 1 offroad.   Life is short.
