I live in the southwest corner of Utah and am new to the site, looks like some good information and I look forward to getting to know all of you.

I started riding bike at the age of ten on CR80, and I moved up one bike size each year after that till I was riding a CR500 at the age of 14.
Then at 20 I had a riding accident that left me in the hospital for a little over a week with a titanium rod in my left femur and will cause me pain for the rest of my life. After that I sold what was left of the bike to my dad and I have not been on bike since.

That was 16 years ago, but my dad and I were talking this spring and he said that my old CR500 needed some work and that he could not longer ride it. So I made him and offer and I bought it back, along with the CR250 I used to ride before I got the 500.
So I'm back after a short hiatus of just 16 years!
