Hi all

I'm from Rangitikei / Manawatu New Zealand and try to ride an 01 CR250r.

I'm 42 and been riding for just over a year, Last year in July I got given an 89 KX250 doer upper for my birthday. Before that I had not even fixed a lawnmower or ridden a moped ?

After fixing it I finally got enough courage to get on it. Caught the bug riding bug pretty bad and saved up for newer bike. Wanted a newish YZ but ended up with the not so new CR but couldn't be happier with it. Plenty enough grunt to give me the gee willikers.

 

I am usually the oldest and slowest but having the most fun at the track even when hobbling round the office with DOMS often on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Nice thread. I'm from Upstate New York. I am 28, and I used to race when I was younger. I worked my way into the A class but that's about when racing slipped away for college and life. Since then, I got married, had a daughter, and just got back into riding this season. Right now I have just been hitting practices at local tracks, and next year I hope to do some racing. I raced a fathers day race this year and broke a few ribs. I still rode because I didn't want to miss anything this season. It was nice getting to reconnect with friends and get back to what I enjoy. I rode borrowed bikes until recently. My best friend passed away a couple months and I bought his bike to help his wife out. So now I own a 2009 Yz450. The bike has a lot of money into it, and totally worth it. I love to ride and I can't wait until the next chance I will get. The season is almost over, but I will make the most of it until then. One pic is last Wednesday at the track for practice, and the other is back when I was actually good and fearless.

I'm sorry to hear about your buddy. That's awesome though that you got to help out his wife by buying it and now have a small piece off him with you when your riding, ride safe.

Yeah, he died way to young (43). That's the main reason I left his number and name on my number panels. I don't plan to change them out until next year. Even then, I will only do it when I need too.
