Hi All

I`m back at riding after a 25 year break.. I saw a old KX 250 as I was going to work ever day. Each day on the drive by my interest increased. Until I pulled the trigger on the purchase. So for $400 I have a tired old bike.
This winter I will take it all apart and do the piston, paint the frame and replace any parts that are faulty. It will be fun to bring the bike back to life. I may be too old to ride at 53 but I`m willing to give it a try. After the first ride I already feel younger. That`s a good thing.
I just added the plastic, added a seat cover and painted the pipe. It looks better already. More to come.

Welcome!

You are not to old! But you do have to remember you do break a lot easier! I am 66 and I have a KX500 and I am about to buy a 2012 KX450F.................

So temper your riding with a bit of caution! I tell people who think I am crazy, when I leave the ground on my bike or quad these days it is an accident.

My 60 year old father beat me in the 100 mile desert race 2 weeks ago... 



I DNF'ed though. Only reason he beat me..   "To finish first, first you must finish"


But seriously. He was faster than most there..  Except the 69 year old guy that was cleaning ALOT of guys clocks...

THAT OLD FART WAS FAST!!
