I had someone e-mail me at the beginning of the year asking me to lend them one of my two bikes. The person said that SHE wanted to train for the paris-dakkar race and wanted to borrow my 125cc dirtbike. Now come-on... Anyone who is going to race paris-dakkar on a bike has to know a little about bikes. This person wanted me to lend them a 1980 yamaha it125 aircooled dirt bike... Imagin that, training on a borrowed bike, never mind the fact I've never seen anyone ride a 125 in that type of a race. Sounded kind of weird. So I politely told them my bikes (1996 yz250 and my IT) were in peices, and that I didn't want to rent or lend them. There are alot of POS out there. Beware! And don't trust anyone. Thats my philosophy.
