Getting back in the saddle.

[BleedMarshal]

My bike. I wanted a YZ250, and damn near pulled the trigger on one, but the wife made me realize that the boy has never ridden and a 125 would be better. So I opted for the 125 and plan on letting go of the hammer come next year for a 250. By then he should have the mindset and experience to follow his hellraiser of a Dad around. However, both bikes will still be mine. I told him if he gets a job I will help him with a basket case or the like. I a teaching him to wrench somewhat now through the rebuild I am doing on her.

As for my birthday, 1/9/77. 1977 anyway you look at it.

Thanks Chokey. You ever get up on the north side of the state we may get together and throw some sand and dirt around.

Make your number 977 then! I was waring between 55 and 703. I decided on 55 though. Anyhow, that's pretty cool, I never let my old man ride my 250 Anyhow one day that 125 will be his, once you get a 250, that'll be great for you guys

And I'll gladly go play in the dirt if you make it down this way.

There was a request for pics, so here are a few, and I aplogize for the rather large pics...

The son...

I have the bike in pieces at the moment doing a top end rebuild. Did a check over all electrical and such as well, and now I am just waiting on parts and such to come in this week and build her back up. I also removed the 18 number as well. Any suggestions on a new number?

Thanks again for all the welcomes.

Sweet looking bike, like the rims and the step seat.

Welcome Bleed

Try to get the wife into it. We need more gals out there

Or is it your "personal time" Sometimes there is no better escape from your spouse then on the bike far away from them

Amen Sun, I got my wife a Little YZ85 and told here she is going riding with me this summer, her words were " I am not going every weekend like you do" I said "oh I know I need my ME time still"

Seriously....is there any better way to spend time away or with the spouse? It is a dual pleasure!

Thanks. Now if I can just get my parts in and get her rebuilt, she will be covered in grim again.

The wife and I met at mechanic school. We both have wrenched in our time. However, she refuses to ride a bike. A quad maybe, but she is not oing to be able to keep up.

Was invited here and thought I would check out the place.

Just got back into riding after 20 some odd years, and recently bought a used '06 YZ125. Doing a top end rebuild on it now to get it sussed out for spring and summer. That, and it is a good experience for my son and I to work on. Not going to hit any tracks soon as I need to relearn how to ride properly, and my son has to learn as he has never rode before. I have worked on bikes befre, so if you need help or advice, feel free to hit me up.

Welcome back and enjoy your rebuild.
