Dirty bike options

[tls25rs]

So, before I pull a trigger, am I correct in noting plastics are not readily available for the RM? The WR takes 1993 YZ250 plastics AFAIK and it looks like UFO makes them for it.

...I hate making decisions like this dangit. : )

Quit trying to find reasons not to buy it damn it.............................

Just giving you a hard time, the RM looks like a good deal if in fact all it needs is the swing arm bushing kit. Buddy has a 96 ish RM and rides the snot out of it without any issues in the woods.

Will someone please put together a spread sheet for him so he can make a decision!!!

[Kurlon]

Decision time... RM is cleaner, two sets of new tires isn't a bad thing... Mind grabbing an RM? : )

Yes, PLEASE DO! Be sure to note maximum achieved overbore and stroker numbers known so I can plot crazy stupidity.

SET IT UP!!

I can grab it tonight if need be.

[Kurlon]

Wait, I want the RC30 instead...

I'm calling now. How do you want to handle the cash portion of this equation?

Edit: Email sent, no number listed in the ad... now I get to hate waiting.

[Kurlon]

Oh, and I've got confirmation, MX207 IS open this Sunday for practice. New section of track is being opened too? (So it'll be LONGER?!)

I hope not, it's long enough.

I have cash to pay him with and you can catch up with me.

I am racing minis on Sunday.

If you do let me know, I'll be bikeless and on call but I can at least be sociable. : )

[Kurlon]

5pm, and no response yet... I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll have email when I get home at 6pm...

[Kurlon]

RM is available...

[breakdirt916]

so change that availability!

[noob]normally I'd oppose the purchase of an older bike because you'd have to replace all the bearings like I did...but...since he already did the steering head, and made it a prerogative to point out that the swing arm bushings need replacement, I'd say that's an a good indicator that this bike might be a lower-risk purchase considering its age. I could be wrong, but I'm in favor.[/noob]

Plus the street legal ness breeds a new kind of attraction to that bike...

so buy it!!

Sooooo..... Did you get it?

[Kurlon]

Not yet, communication snafu screwed things up for today.

[Kurlon]

Fark, RM 250 is out, he sold it already.

[lrrs313]

Move faster, grasshopper.

[Kurlon]

Move faster, grasshopper.

I'm trying, being oncall two weeks in a row is severely cutting into my reaction time though... trying to secure the WR250 now lest I loose that one too.

[breakdirt916]

are you asking for their phone number, or giving yours, when you email them?

[Kurlon]

Yup, in this case I had called last night, left a message, as well as emailed. I called again today to check in and thats when I found out it had already been sold. The WR guy has never offered a phone number, I've included mine in just about every email. I have my doubts on that one happening but I'm going to try for it anyways.

[breakdirt916]

ok, good good...I missed out on a few good deals because I'd take a couple emails to get to the point where I'd actually see the bike...just wanted to make sure you were being aggressive with the contact info

man...if you've waited this long, the deal you find is going to be f'n perfect!

[lrrs313]

Haha yeah, sucks working too much. Going to be hard, bikes you're looking for are the kind that sell quick.
