I'm 30 years old and ive mainly been into turbo charged cars ever since I got my license but, after buying a 2002 rm250 about 6years ago and started riding I was hooked! I soon realized that a 2 stroke came on much like a turbo..(I love the way the power delivery is like a light switch!). After getting into bikes alot more I wondered what a 500cc 2 stroke would be like, then after doing abit of research I found out about the cr500 AF's.
From then on I knew which bike I wanted next!
As it turns out I kind of rushed into buying the bike I have now, but it is what it is, and it's given me something to work with. After being involved with cars alot I think I almost love working on things more than riding/driving them lol!
Anyway here is the bike how I bought it (2000 model frame 2001 model motor I belive):
I rode it once then discovered the water pump seals and shaft were gone and it was leaking water into the box oil
so im replacing those parts and while i'm at it i'm doing the clutch aswell as it feels pretty notchy: 
Some new clutch parts
So one of the things I dislike the most about the bike is the rims, Someone has painted them black and it is chipping off like crazy as you can imagine! So id like to buy some new black rims with red hubs. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good place to buy new wheels from??
Well sorry for the long post everyone! can't wait to gather some info from you guys!
Cheers Matt
