Yup, that's what I did mostly, but the funnest was 100-mile desert enduros. Wish I could go back in time....

I wish that too, even just physically, I could care less about the grey hair and a few wrinkles just give that health I had back then
Several Hondas (all modified), Yamahas (all modified), rode once but never owned a Suzi... also had street bikes, my very first being a 1949 Indian w/3 speed suicide shift, Triumphs, BMW (old one), etc.
Well, good night to everyone.

But you also forgot to post way too many noxious snaps of the grandchildren, your past several meals and memes that imply I'm a terrible person if I don't share
I do not even FB at all. Not a twit either I only post here and on one other vape related board.
Wife unit talked me into signing up for the grandchildren...
That was a mistake...
Mostly just noise and drama.
I suspended my account. Could not figure out how to delete it....

They were a BLAST, it's a wonder I lived to tell about those days....
I had a 250 Husq too....damn things fly....!
Good move, Bob....I no like that shit either, nor do I like the gov (or any others) knowing what I do.
Evening Jimi....hope you had a good day with nice weather....!

Interesting... Rich, Dale and Jimi all had 250 Husqvarnas.... down that long old lonesome road into the past... wonder what else we might eventually dig up.
Had Yam and Kawi too....the Husq was the beast....!
Evening Dale it was a beautiful day here got up to 50 something for a couple hours, I think i am catching a cold from being wet the other day.
How was you day Dale?
Heck I am old enough that I do not tell myself my secrets.
Get some B12 V-C and Iodine in you asap.....if it's a cold, it'll be gone in NO time....load up if you have um on hand.
Wrote an ad (in the form of an "I did this" story) for Kawasaki once and got $100 in Kawasaki riding gear. Eventually I even bought a green machine, but it was a street bike.
Nor anyone else....good move.
Mine was a 1972, strong running little bike, I liked the 360 sportsman eight speed better
I loved mine, had three of them
Ever have a Yamaha dirt bike, they were pretty good machines...and the Can Ams were decent.
Was riding with my brother years ago...he went right into a Jumping Cholla (cactus)....had to take him to the hospital to get the thorns out, their like a porcupine with curled barbs, they go in easy, but don't come out.
Already on it my friend, drinking some herbal tea right now too.
I liked my can am strong runners and dependable
I had a shit load of bikes when I was young...my father had some (80+ acres) farmland we turned in a dirt course for bikes and old junk cars, way before we were old enough to legally drive, man was that a blast.......
Demolition derby's with old cars, bike ramps from hell I built with the old man's dozers and track hoes....
Right on, Jimi...with some Ginger and Tumeric root, if you have any fresh....!
My brother still has those Can Ams, I don't think they been started in 15 years.
My Husky was a combination, but pure racing machine. I wanted the suspension from the 250CR (close ratio tranny - built for motocross) but the actual transmission of the WR (wide ratio tranny - built for enduro racing). So I bought the 250CR and had the dealer install the WR transmission, so I could take it out in the desert for 100-mile races (put a larger gas tank on it too) that had nasty terrain worse than any motocross course (from sandy whoop-de-doos at start/finish, through canyons, up to snow, flying through volcanic rock). After 50 miles, you get to refuel once. Team Husky flagged me down. Seems wifey (at that time) parked herself with them and since I wore Team Husky colors, they did the entire refuel routine for me and sent me on my way. What a trip!
I miss that shit, now you have me thinking about buying another bike, that goes about 40 mph TOP end....
Sounds like a blast Dale, makes me really wish I was young againI had a shit load of bikes when I was young...my father had some (80+ acres) farmland we turned in a dirt course for bikes and old junk cars, way before we were old enough to legally drive, man was that a blast.......

Just dug up some horseradish, it's good to fight off colds and flu, really opens the sinuses when you grind it too.
They rebuild easily though, mine ran great
Oh yeah, baby....that shit will cure just about anything...!
They may start right up with a lil love, been sitting in his garage since the jumping Cholla fiasco.....
Sounds like a blast Rich, what year was your 250 wr?
I would love to have another little dirt bike but I'd need a wheel chair shortly afterI miss that shit, now you have me thinking about buying another bike, that goes about 40 mph TOP end....
So, a scooter, eh?I miss that shit, now you have me thinking about buying another bike, that goes about 40 mph TOP end....
Most of my racing was in Orygun... come to think of it, the fire road scenic cruises were also in Orygun. If you rode off the pavement, your bike was required to have a govt-approved spark arrester. Does AZ not have something similar?
There isn't many places here either, liability reasons
Yep, but I'm not sure of all the particulars any longer....haven't kept up with the rules the last several years.So, a scooter, eh?
