I watched my little killer KDX ride out of my driveway on her new owners truck. I'm gonna miss her - she was special to me. :(

Her new owner is a fellow KDX rider that wanted better suspension, he's giving his 200 to his son and he's taking the 220 over. He's a fellow DRN'er and one of my riding buddys. It's got a good home. Congrats SPARKEY!

New home?
Just as long as the check clears it's a good home.
Everything I have is for sale with the exception of God, family, friends, & country.

So Fred,
You gonna kiss & tell?
How much cake did that that little sweetie bring in (and how much cash did you have tied up in that highly modified beast)?

And now you're really going to feel bad when that little ol' KDX goes screamin by your new orange bike.

NO I'm not going to tell, I made him a great deal because he's my friend. I wanted it to go to someone that could appreciate the modifications I made to it. He might even let me take her for a spin if I get lonely. I had $6000 invested in it.....which is what a KTM 250 is out the door. Oops! I felt good about him getting it and I know he has a well maintained bike. I can't wait for his first ride report, he's gonna love it.

Yes I’m the lucky guy that got Fred’s old bike.
I’m really glad to have had the opportunity to get it; he made me a Great Deal on her.
Fred took great care of the bike; he had all maintance records, including mileage log, carb needle/jet settings etc.
With all the mod’s that the bike has it was hard not to buy!

I don’t know if I’m going to be any faster, but I know the ride will be much smoother with the MX Tech suspension mods. ;)

I’m going riding Saturday to try her out.
Ill post a ride report, letting you know what the differences are between my KDX 200 and my new tricked out KDX220 with all the toys.

Thanks Fred.
you’re a good friend ill take good care of her.

Sparkey

Hey Fred,
Just make sure, if you go riding with this guy, that you're in front. No need to let your old gem roost tons of dirt and mud on you and your new ride.......

We've already been riding together and he's a perfect gentleman.
