79 Honda XL100S had a seized motor and stuck carb slide. i got the motor unstuck with some marvel mystery oil.
(didnt figure out the stuck carb till i got it running by towing it behind a 4 wheeler) had to pull the plug off at wide open throttle to kill the engine after i crashed from overtaking the the 4 wheeler and suckign the rope into my front wheel... oh did i mention the brakes were shot..
once i got that all fixed a few weeks later on my second ride, i crashed when as broken tree pointing into the trail impailed my right foot, pulled me off the bike, the rear wheel landed on my left foot. there i was in a full split with a tree through my right foot trying to push the bike off my front foot so i can get up..
well ive been hooked ever since
there were several more "rat bikes", but my first good dirtbike was an 87 CR250 R. i was probably around 14 by then... i have had too many bikes to mention them all so i wont
But my first street bike i bought when i was 15. 86 kawasaki ninja 600R
i didnt have a car in high school, and was bummin rides for the few months that it was too cold and icy to ride. But other then that i had the best bike in school. I actually took my liscense test on my freinds 83 honda 650 nighthawk. I didnt want to piss off the instructor as my ninja had a Vance and Hines race pipe on it and was gawd awful loud.
ive had or riddent just about every type of street bike since then, but no Harleys just cant justify the cost for the performance (or lack thereoff).
i currently own 2 mc21' NSR250's one is an SE and one is an SP, they both need a little love, and with help from all of you at this site, one off them is getting to be close to ready for the spring.
i also have a very nice 02 yamaha yzf 426 for the trail, and a little chinese pocketbike for playing aound sometimes.
would love to get a 98 or so ZX900 for long distance street rides.
MAN I WISH IT WAS SPRING TIME!!!!
