hi every body
Yesterday I went for my first ride in 20 years. My son, my nephew and i went riding in the St. Croix river area and had a blast. It was my sons first time ever on a motor cycle, my nephew is a great rider and coached my son on some of the basics.
The kid has a 81-KDX175, my nephew has a stock 2001- KDX220 and I have a 2001-KDX220 with a gnarly pipe, boysen 607 reeds, R-B carb mod and resprung for my fat 225# a**.
My bike seemed to be a little easier to lug in a higher gear, but I was amazed how well the bone stock bike performed. The kids bike was surpisingly awesome for a 22 year old bike. It is in need of new brakes though. The front drum is worn out and not adjustable anymore.
We meat a solo rider (Mark) that rode along with us that was very helpful in guiding us through the trails. It's amazing how nice of people you meet in the woods. Mark spent some time after our ride coaching the kid 9and me) and pumping us both up to give us some additional confidence. To make a long story short we had an AWESOME first ride. I would like to thank everone who responded to all of my earlier post for the encouragement and confidence they inspired.
Thanks
