seriously...I have a problem

    seriously...I have a problem

    I already own a street bike, I just recently went on a stretch and bought a full-size dirt bike, I'm in school...but...

    now I own TWO dirt bikes



    2000 Honda XR200R

    I went and looked at it, good compression, clutch grabbed fine, plug looked tan, and it started first kick. It was only ridden a handful of times and I offered him 12.5% less than what he was asking in cash, and he took it.

    compared to the RM125 stroker engine, this thing is pretty different, but still really cool

    it stirred up so much excitement with my buddies, that we might be going Sunday (Franklin? Oxford?) to try it out!

    You should quit work and devote more time to your riding. And they call me Andy Landers.

    12.5%? Not 12.6?

    Ah yes, I see the problem now. You only have two dirtbikes. Don't worry, you can always buy a pit bike later.

    srsly! I was really excited about your XR, but, I got so fed up with your bike being in shambles that I just bought my own

    Re: seriously...I have a problem

    I sent a PM with my phone number. Call if you want those jets. I guess I could bring them to a weekend ride and we could re-jet in the parking lot before the ride too.

    PM replied

    and I know this is last minute, but if anyone's interested in going to the trails in Oxford, the RM, XR, myself and a friend will be checking it out tomorrow morning...ETA ~9am

    Re: seriously...I have a problem

    just got back from 3 hours at Oxford

    and this bike was a blast in the woods!

    the suspension has a plush feel but does great over roots and rocks, the smooth power delivery on the low end helps you to torque through the terrain, and the overall ride is much more friendly than the RM



    unfortunately we only made it about 5 mins when I took a tumble and broke the clutch lever, bent the shifter, and left peg

    note to self: bring spares!

    we bent back the peg and shifter (enough), tightened the clutch cable and tied a bungie cord around it to make it for the next 2 hours
