What's your ride?

Man what a cool bike. The TS's were always great bikes. I gave one to my brother a few years ago. Lots of fun.

Here's the KX500. Hope it comes out ok.

Welcome helfrick15205 - nice collection of machines you have there.

Nice first post!

just took a picture of my 86 YZ250. waiting on a carb. only paid $20 for it. invested a little over $1000 so far. did most of the work myself. this bike was frustrating to fix. kept on jumping into gear from neutral. ended up being the shift drum. i let it sit for the last 8 months but after the holidays my wife says i can finish it. my wife actually bought me the CR500 while i was deployed to iraq as a welcome home present. also a pic of my 01 YZ250 in its current state.

No pictures on hand, but I have:

89 KDX200
91 KDX200
84 BW80
80 XR80
99 z50
73 F11 250
70 CB750four

I like the old bikes, can you tell? The 89 is my baby. Completely rebuilt and runs like a champ! I think there's nowhere that bike won't take me. The 73 is really fun to get out once in a while too. The BW80 is getting restored for the kiddies, and the XR is the first real dirt bike I ever owned. It still runs too! The 750 has been neglected the past few years since I got back into dirt hard and heavy...

Bought it from Gregg Schnell years ago while the guy was racing for Riverside Yamaha here in the Country. Complete Factory engine work with all the goodies...Was running on VP exclusively. Sold it to a guy and 2 days after he broke his arm lol.... My next purchase will be an RM 250.. Best handling bike ever...

Here's my pride and joy - it's a KX250 2000 year and its as good as new, I bought it off a guy who had it imported from Japan after it had been stuck in a crate for years. The funny thing was this guy was 65 and he had bought it as a retirement present for himself he must have been mad this bike is seriously fast!

That guy somehow got it road registered so I'm different to most people on the site cos I don't race - I just ride mine on the roads round London - I have a cool route I take every weekend that goes past Buckingham Palace / 10 downing Street / Soho / Covent Garden & Notting Hill and its such a blast ripping it up past the tourists. I was at the lights against a Honda CBR650 or something last week and I had my first 'drag race' - starting on tarmac you gotta fight to keep the front down but I beat the guy up to 50 / 60mph ish - at the next traffic lights I could see he was pretty shocked that a dirt bike could do that lol

Wish I could find another smoker to ride with out here but I've lived in London 5 years and I've never seen another 2 stroke motocross bike on the streets - it's a really unique ride. I recently gt a KTM 250 sx 2004 and it doesnt have the same poke as my KX so I'm selling it this week on ebay and keeping my KX..
