I don't know who's more glad. Me, or my dad who's 60. I bought the TRX250R on Friday and had it at our shop until yesterday. My 2002 CR125 sold so I took the quad to my parents to drop it off and pick up the bike to take it to the buyer. As I unloaded the quad, my dad asked, "Does it run?". I knew immediately I was going to be keeping the tether switch with me. "Of course it does", I said. I pushed it into the garage because I knew if he heard it, he would have been on it immediately. I was gone about 4 hours delivering the CR125 but about 3.5 hours into my trip I got a phone call from my dad, complaining about where the tether switch was. I just laughed and told him I was almost back and we'd ride it.
He was only on it for 10 minutes but I think he found his fountain of youth for that short amount of time. Of course after he got off of it he remembered how old he was and started complaining about his back. My mom just kept her eyes closed every time he went ripping passed the garage and down the back lane. He asked me what all I wanted to do to it and I said "Not much, just a few odds and ends". He laughed and said, "Yea right. Hell won't have it until you have that looking like a showroom bike again". I smirked and said, "probably". It's such a great feeling owning this thing. Seeing how much fun my dad and I had yesterday at 41 and 60 years old was worth the money I paid for it. I just know there are plenty more days to come.
