Hey thanx Crashking. And yeah that TLR was HOT! it was an amazing machine, so many memories on that bike.... I actually teared up a bit to see it go! But the trade was well worth it! Pretty much every single toy we have we go stupid cheap on craigy and just fixed it up. You can get anything you want, you just have to know how to turn a wrench! haha
We only have a few toys in the garage rite now as opposed to alot at a time. Here's a pic, sorry its jus a junky cell pic.
That's our track bike's body hangin up b/c its currently in the house gettin the brakes worked and stuff during the winter. So this is what you see when you walk in the front door!
We also used to have a lil Yamaha TTR 90 that was another craigy deal. But we fixed it up and gave it to his Dad for a B-day/Xmas present. He loves the heck outta that thing! haha He used to ride when he was real young, but Life got aholda him and he had to get stern n grown up real fast. So we figured itd give him that childish joy that he missed out on.
And I agree with you that those little dirtbikes are perfect to start your kids out on real young. I plan on doing the same someday when i have some! haha Then they can grow up and race MotoGP with Rossi and buy me all the bikes and stuff i want with their $$$$$$$! ah hahahaha

Face value, perhaps. But you gotta consider the "time" factor. He got to ride all those different machines and still ended up $300. My first bike was an '81 CX500 Custom I paid $500 for. I sold it for $500 also. Financially I broke even so big woot, eh? But I rode that bee-yatch for 20K+ miles and had a blast. So I considered it one of the best bike deals I ever made
