| My second most favorite hobby
is dirt bike riding I've been riding motorcycles for as long as I can remember,
my first bike was a 1974 Honda Elisnore 50cc. For a 50 that
is the strongest bike I have ever seen, we still have it and every once
in my friends and I will take it out and ride it, and the engine never
seems to mind how much weight is on it, it just keeps going. My second
bike was a 1974 Honda MT 250, this bike weighs alot, "Hurts something bad
when it falls on you". It was nice to get a bigger bike, but it wasn't
too reliable, would run one day and not the next. I don't ride it
a whole lot anymore, I've been fixing it up trying to restore it, when
I received the bike it was stored in a trailer for at least 5 years, so
she's had a hard life.
After having the MT break down on me a few times, I decided I needed a new bike, so I was able to find a 1987 XR250. This has been the best bike I have ever had. It has never gave me any troubles when I take it riding, it just keeps going no matter what I take it through. I have been through spots where the water is almost deep enough to reach the Gas tank. What else I love about this bike is a tank a gas will last almost a whole day of riding (on my old bike I would have to fill it up at least twice). Also with this bike there is NO MIXING OIL, I hated doing that with my other bikes. The only maintenance I have to do is to make sure to grease the suspension and change the oil. |
