Cool!   I would like to find a cheap XR100 for my girlfriend to ride around in my backyard, just to get a feel for riding.  I think those bikes are great to learn on. I have a buddy who has two and I am waiting until he wants to sell one.  Where are you from? and where do you ride?

Florence. I just moved away from Albany, Or. and up to Washington. The only thing I miss about down there is the Florence dunes. It may be hard for the kids starting out in the sand, but you will love it on the big dune daddy! Just need to get yourself a 10 cup paddle, remove the mudflap, check your jetting with the jetting chart here for the elevation(sea level)and your ready to rip. Have a bike shop install the paddle tire for you on the 19" rear wheel though... dont put yourself through it, its a miserable experience. Lots of open riding area there.

Tire changing instructions. I hate to mess with tire removal/install. After reading this post above, it made it easy.

You should, The dam little things are every bit as much FUN to putt around the back yard as I remember from when I was a kid.......And who needs a lawn anyway.
