FINALLY! after nearly a year of being bikeless, I have a working RIDING bike. I just bought it today for $500. its a 2000 XR80R, which suits me well(keep in mind I'm 5'4 and 110 pounds) and I'm just having a total blast riding on the dirt. soon as I've got more money to spend, I'm gonna buy a CBR again, fear not. I almost bought a Kawasaki, but it was a 2 stroke, a 1989 model, and this is newer AND four stroke. oh yeah, and my most trusted brand, HONDA.

I truly love riding this little thing, starts on the first or second kick, goes probably around 55mph, and its insanely fun for me to ride on.

anyways, I just wanted to say I'm back on 2 wheels again and quite happy.

 

No wheelies up and down the street....you'll get hit by a car....do them on the sidewalk.

 

Awesome Bob!!! A year removed from riding had to be hard. I would guess a ride on the horsey infront of Wal*mart could have been fun. Congrats, Bro, and keep us posted on the CBR.

 

I'm not allowed near the kiddie rides anymore because of that. not really, but it was tough not to have a bike.

on the stunting, I'm using common sense, and making good use of empty fields and the like to practice. no cops, no traffic, all I have to worry about is figuring out what I'm doing wrong to improve on that.

 

You may need a sexy new avatar, yeah?

 

one project at a time man

 

Congratulations. I'm glad your back havin' fun. Nice to read such a positive post.

 

Cool, lets see pics!

 

so shall it be asked for, so shall it begiven. this is the bike, I've yet to get a picture of me actually on it or riding it.

 

Sweet! If I had that and a big field, I'd be on it all day long!
