 Hello everyone.

 I stumbled across this site last night and have been reading through for hours. I had to join seeing as how I bleed Green.

 I'm 35 and have been riding since I was about 10, though mostly on 3-wheelers. I raced organized flattrack events back in the mid-80's on ATC 250Rs, Tecates, and Tri-Zs before finally getting my first bike in 1986(a new RM250), though I had wanted a dirt bike as far back as 1980.

 Racing Mustangs stole the dirt riding passion for a number of years, but I ended up buying a new '93 WR500 in 1994(sold it in '95) and have spent years buying/saving from the scrap yard many, many 3-wheelers. I ended up with a CR480 a couple of months ago which rekindled my love for bikes, sold it and bought a '92 KX250 which I intend to hang on to. Two of my five boys ride bikes and are wanting to race this year, so I plan to get my butt out there with them to make it a family thing. What can I say, the love of competition is in their blood:)

 I look forward to sharing with and learning from ya'll.

 Thanks for the welcome!

 My boys were the biggest factor in getting me back onto two wheels after a 13 year absence. I was building an '85 Tecate for flattracking last year and found myself riding their bikes(PW80, RM80, and TTR125) instead of working on mine.

 I live just 3 miles from Little Powersports(Pro quad racers Keith and Greg Little's MX track) and figured I'd have an easier time getting in the gate on 2-wheels than I would on a 3-wheeler at other local speedways. Though my 2-wheel skills are nowhere near my 3-wheeler skills nowadays, it's starting to come back to me.

 Only downside I see is having to ride the tight, rutted out trails the golf carts(quads) have made around here, but I'm going to make a few new ones.
 Upside is the KX gets a lot of attention around the local ride spot since there are 100(heavy, rack laden, slow) quads-to-1 dirt bike here.
