[QUOTE="Grissom29, post: 713029, member: 49872"] Stan, I'm really leaning to a 2-stroke now that you've pointed out the maintenance issues. I do plan to do what I can, which will require me to learn things I do not currently know. I just don't think the high performance 4 stroke will be the right platform to my bike mechanics on. When you say "shade tree" mechanic, it gives me the impression that you could do that kind of work anywhere provided there's enough lighting and weather conditions are right. Is this an accurate inference? I think I'm going to look for a used 2 stroke... KDX, EXC, or any of the other MX'ers and just get myself something that in my budget. I'll have to wait for the IRS check to come in first though. I'll also probably need to learn what to do about the seat height to give me an inch or two advantage. 37 inches is fairly high when your inseam is 30. What can I do to get that down to around 34(ish)? I would really like to come out and meet you all that ride here in the DFW area. It might be a good month+ until my purchase, but I look forward to getting back in the saddle. Thanks again, Jason [/QUOTE]
