Just think how much time and money that 81 KX250 would save you. Plus it would look great alongside your KDX;).

I did keep it. At $2,200 it was more that most wanted to spend. Many are looking for those sub $1,000 project bikes - that end up costing more in the end as as so many of us know. The 81 KX is so nice and and with the Ohlins shock I thought it was a fair price.. I still have a couple of '79...

Anxious to follow your progress Mike - post pics. I really like the the 84-86 Hondas. My work travel is grounded plus I am getting some time off (without pay). I have been getting to things in the garage also. I have sold or traded quite a few of my future project bikes over the past 12...

Laurel Lake is close to Cumberland with clear water. Boat in and camp.

You meant real Governor and actual lakes. And not the thread originator for the blatant Jet Ski hijack attempt.

Mike, great post - thanks for helping with the memories and getting us excited about later this year.

Have fun John - love being at the track for Daytona. We are moving my dad to a new retirement apartment or I would have rented your place and been there with you.

'75 RL250 in a barn for the last 25 years. Still lots to do. The Magic of Vapor Honing And Polishing

Superb. Now it is time to get it dirty

Good thread although some of you seem to change bikes faster than I change oil. I tried some of the pricy specific gear oil and couldn’t tell a difference. I tried the Mobil 1 formulation for wet clutches and couldn’t tell a difference. Tried ATF once and didn’t like the shifting. It...

A great reason to try and get to 1 race each season. It is so much better at the track and no silly opinions - well except the ones in my head. We got out to the Anaheim opener - have family in LA. Such a good way to spend the day - 10 plus hours (practice, qualifications, pits, races) - We...

Some bad guys across town killed my dog, bullied my daughter, and cut the gas line that heats my house. I am afraid to do anything because if I do, those bad guys might do more harm. I can’t believe what I am watching on the Sunday morning talk shows. The media hates Trump so much they...

It is a 2001. She has stopped wondering.

Great looking bike and I agree about bringing these bikes back to life. Last winter was my $450 Craigslist basket case. Destroyed rims, no subframe, seat, airbox, or fenders. I spent a bit more than that $450 putting it back in service. It was so nice having easy access to parts - New OEM...

We know that verb tense agreement, split infinitives, and dangling participles never go through Ricky's mind. I do like hearing Ricky correct himself. My prediction is that Adam Cianciarulo has a future in broadcasting races. He is entertaining.

Wow - work from home, new company bike every year, $250K, plus benefits. People will rush for that job. AMA should have added in the job description: "willingness to be hated by most and not care"

PM me, I know a place that you seek.

One of my favorites. Good cause, folks, and fun grass track - with fun elevation changes. The down and up hill loop remind me a Action Sports down hill and climb back up (not quite as big). Mike - you will enjoy the Cross Country - deep ruts and good mix of technical stuff.

It is a good question. Is a Vet rider an age only category or is it an age plus experience category? I can easily see 30+ "C" class/beginner racers. I was 50 before my first time on motocross track and ride C/Novice. I may never progress. I don't necessarily want to line up with a bunch of...

Mike, You might be right...but I am simplifying. I have stopped keeping watch on Craigslist and accumulating old bikes - haven't bought anything in quite a while. I looked at a 1984 RM125 this spring and walked away from a nice bike - that was good. Over the winter, I built an '01CR out of...
