PedalHead to MotorHead

Post by KBJ »

Hi all, Seems that a WR 250 has recently been added to my toy box. As a dedicated mtn biker for many years, the switch seemed like a step in the right direction. I think I ended up with Dirtyboy's old ride. Many Thanks Dirtyboy for the Yamaha and Seitzco for their great help!! :applause:
As a new rider and new to the forum, I can appreciate all and any tips and tricks from all you experience hands. So far I've learned lots about my new Blue and White thanks to Markvfr and the hundreds of threads in this forum. :cheers:
Can't wait to start wrenching :confused: and riding. More of latter of course.

See you on the trails :canada:

Welcome to the forum KBJ... glad I could help... as long as you keep the beer flowing in your garage, I'll be there every night. Man, I gotta get a life... :cheers:

I know its a busy week for you, but you should try to get out with us to Bar C one evening... :devil:

That bike looks brand new!

I see that there is a Scotts mount, Rekluse clutch, and skid plate for sale over in the classified that would fit that bike. :D

It's good to see the pictures of riders getting out there. That's what it's all about. :thumbsup:

Actually I'm a horse jumping crossover. Wish I had some reasonable mtn bike experience - would be a much better rider.
