New addict in NH
Posted: October 25th, 2009, 6:51 pm
Hey guys, new guy here from NH. I'm 24 years old and have been riding bikes and ATVs for 18 years. The last five years I have been bike only and haven't looked back. I have a stable full of bikes ranging from dirt to street. Until now the only smoker I had was a 01 CR250.
Recently I found a blown up 02 CR250 and thought it would be great to update my 01 frame to a 02. Little did I know I would stumble upon a steal of a 99 CR500. It is in great shape and it came titled, e-line lighting, fmf full system, and dirt and street rims.
So now my journey begins in squeezing this beast of an engine into the empty chassis. I've been lurking around here for a little bit now getting ideas but felt I couldn't post here until I could actually start te thing consistently. So today I went out with the boys and just said screw it, what better way to learn how to do it then get stranded in the woods. I can now say I can proudly start it eveytime on the first or second try!
Anyways here are the bikes I'm starting with.
