[QUOTE="snb73, post: 1133874, member: 49046"] Cousin Larry, I was away from riding for ten years, but have experience with 250 2 stroke MX bikes. In 2001 I bought a 1993 RM250 for $750. It ran, but was very neglected. Thats a good bike, a bit old, but not a bad price if clean and in great mechanical shape. Be carefull, that's alot of bike. Take your time and let your brain control your throttle hand, you will be fine. As for gear, check the closeouts. Helmet; look for DOT and SNELL certified, a removable liner, cheek pads and venting are important features. Boots; Look for a heat sheild (leather) on inner thigh and aluminum/replacable buckles. Plastic ones don't last. Don't foget goggles, gloves, and a chest protector. Jersey and pants are nice too. Here is an example of a closeout helmet: [url]http://www.motosport.com/offroad/productDetail.php?prodId=286143[/url] [url]http://www.motosport.com/offroad/productDetail.php?prodId=688535[/url] Closeout Boots: [url]http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?catId=102&store=Outlet&leafCatId=10201&_requestid=1360086[/url] My favorite online sites are: [url]http://www.motosport.com/offroad/index.php[/url] [url]http://www.rockymountainatv.com/[/url] [url]http://www.denniskirk.com[/url] [url]http://www.bobscycle.com/[/url] For OEM Parts: [url]http://www.servicehonda.com/[/url] [url]http://www.bikebandit.com[/url] Goodluck, Steve.
