greetings from a beginner

Post by Dirkbun »

Hi,

Just a quick introduction …
I moved to Calgary about 3,5 years ago from Belgium ... never did a lot of riding in the Old Country, but last year decided that Mountain biking would be so much more fun if it had a big *** motor on the bike ...
Last year upgraded to a 2011 Yamaha WR250F ... joined the RMDRA last weekend at the motor cycle show, and now is this absolute beginner anxious waiting to start riding endure trails ...

Looking forward to meeting everybody in person !

Getting my Carb re-jetted and the AIS removal kit installed this weekend, but every weekend after that is all fair game :D

Sounds like a plan Mr. NoPlan :smirk:

Waiting for my bike to come back from re-jetting ... and yes somehow also decided to put an FMF exhaust system on it :blush:

That pictures was taken in Waiparous ... just follow the trail to the left and than straight ahead ... or something like that :eek:
I'll show you sometime if you want ...

Looking forward to meeting up this summer.

Got my bike back, and OMG does it run now or what ... a bit louder :blush: ... but still doable ... and very sick or what :D
Anyway: no way that I'm able to wait until summer ... so: I'll start building my own Studded Tires and hopefully give her a go next weekend ...
