my old MX bike

[DaveWM]

I miss my 1976 RM250
been checking around prices are all over the place.

[Dude111]

I hear ya buddy!!!

I hope you can find one @ a good price

[DaveWM]

even if I do I have to get past the ultra low WAF.

I have been looking at some of the old vintage stuff and then looking at the new stuff (water cooled, 2 and 4 stroke etc...) I just cant get past the new stuff "toy" look, tons of plastic, wild graffix, and I suppose the monster travel is needed for the hard core rider to launch off monster jumps. Not for me way too old for that.

I just want one to tinker on and ride some easy trails.

I have been looking at early RM 250's, 370's like 76-79

would even look at something like an XL500 which is prob more my speed now a days.

Long range plan is to build a cabin with a monster garage workshop. Just hope I live long enough to see it. the prob seems to be as you get old enough to afford stuff, you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

anyway fun to research for now

[DaveWM]

something like this would be nice

Funny how we get rid of stuff and want it back years later.

Unless we are smart enough to keep what matters.

99% of the time I am, but less than 90% of the time have I had final say in the matter.....

Here's my son in the summer of 2013 on his 1974 Suzuki TS185 enduro. That thing can take anything he throws at it, and does! It's simply an awesome machine.

I bought it only needing a new front rim, for $125! Engine was totally gone through. It was, believe it or not, in a dorm room at UB!!! It was owned by the dorm RA, and he got busted with it in his room and he had to unload it FAST, in a snowstorm in January 2013. You should have seen the looks we got as we rolled it down the hall and into the elevator

That thing looks mint! Great score.

went down to the local u pull it junk yard, got a draw tite 500lb 2" receiver hitch for 20$ off a early 90's mountaineer. Very easy to install, so now I can get one of those hitch carriers.
