Hello from north central Arizona! We live off grid on a huge ranch area that has been subdivided somewhat. I'm a 56yo disabled retired truck driver. My wife and I have 1 daughter (25) and 2 sons (19 and 20.) I've been a passionate dirt freak most of my life. My first dirt bike was a 5horse b&s mini bike. 6th grade. I've had a few since then. A Honda trail 50 was next, then a stripped down Honda 160 scrambler, then bought a Yamaha DT 125. Stripped it down, got a 175 jug and piston, chamber and forward mounted shocks. Man, that was top shelf stuff then! In 1976, I bought the first Yamaha yz250 to show up at the local Yamaha shop. Was the fastest thing on the planet! Had many cool dirt bikes since then, but due to a work accident in 2013, I no longer ride. So it fell to my sons. They started in the mid 00s the same way. We now have several cool toys. Since I don't ride anymore, I am the guy that fixes it. We have several teenagers around "the hood" with bikes, quads, ect. My 20yo son just purchased a very clean 1985 atc250r was mothballed for 10 years. We did the top end thing, piston, jug, head. Carb and fuel tank cleaning, ect. I need to talk to others about this rocket ship on 3 wheels so, I joined this site. Looking forward to rapping with you folks!
