Hey everybody...
New to the site and just getting back in to dirt riding. I learned to ride on a pair of '89 RM's about a decade ago but haven't been back in the dirt until recently for about 8 years. I've spent a lot of time sport touring, riding twisties (where I can find 'em in northern Illinois ;) ), and an occasional trackday. I was recently faced with the option of getting a track bike or a dirtbike...went with a '97 RM125 bought from a friend of a friend...well maintained and runs really well. I figured the bang for the buck far exceeded that of a track bike, my riding season ain't over yet!!
I've had the bike out to Buffalo in Ottawa, IL and a few local spots...and i've got a lot to (re)learn. I've almost forgotten about my streetbike (a Z1000).
Anywho...greetings everyone. I'm quite anxious to pick up as much info from you fellas as possible.
