welcome to the site!!  I remember seeing a write up in Dirt Wheels on Randy Johnsons R.  I believe at one time I had that issue unfortunately I gave all my magazines away.  hopefully some one chimes in on the issue/date.  But in the mean time please post some pics.

How tall are you?  I ask because most mods they did were to accommodate a 6-7 rider

Just the other day I was thinking it would be cool to see Randy's 250r.  I remember back in the day when that was in Dirt Wheels.  Nice to see a board member has that TRX.

That's pretty cool, I had that issue. It had a full page color picture with him in his Marineers uniform holding a baseball standing next to the quad if I remember correctly. Looks pretty much the same as it did in the magazine, bet he didn't ride it much!

Nice quad!  

I pass through Lodi on a regular basis when I head down to my riding/hunting property.

Emailed you the article
For those interested, it's in the September 1994 issue of Dirtwheels
That R is a cool piece of history that's nice to see survived all these years
