I have not been hanging around here much lately but am pleased to announce I ordered a 05' YZ250f last week that should be in mid month. It's going to be quite a change from the 01' DRZ400 I've been piloting for the last year and a half. The DRZ is still a keeper as it is street-legal (barely) and actually spec'd out and working very nicely now on the local trails and fields.
I gave the DRZ a chance at racing last month when the WORCS came to town in the Vet-B race. The stock suspension nearly killed me but we soldiered through to finish a ways back in the pack. That was the DRZ's first and I wish I could say last race on a moto style course. I will have to race her one more time in the series before the YZ gets here.
Anyway, I'm excited and looking forward to going blue again. All the reports and tests for the YZ with the new forks and other changes are very encouraging and the zero,zero,zero on the $5,400 OTD was the deal maker for me. Still trying to convince the Missus it was a to-good-to-pass-up deal. Promising her a 05' TTR230 in the spring seems to have gotten me out of the doghouse for now. :laugh:
Thump-on!
