[QUOTE="WomanRider, post: 1186966, member: 71078"] I had a blast. It was my first time riding the CR250 at an FES. I was very nervous about riding it as well. I took it to Roselawn to ride but fouled a plug and did not have any extras, so last minute I ended up riding the XR250. The CR was a different beast than I am used to. For one, the clutch was dragging. When I came into the first check (Fred T's check) it stalled, and I had trouble getting it started because I was in gear. (That will be fixed ASAP). I had troubles at about every check with the bike stalling. I loved the bike when it came to hills, because the bike gained power going up, unlike the XR. The second loop, I had issues when I came up to a group of riders waiting for time to pass. I knew I was running about a minute behind, and those riders were about 4 minutes ahead of me. I stopped to rethink my timing. When I decided I was correct, I took off and a kid on an RM85 began to take off and tipped over causing his rear fender to catch my leg taking me down. I did my best not to land on him, and He was ok. I picked the bike up. The CR is a lot lighter than the XR, picking it up was easy. I could not start it. I had to have help from hubby on that. I took off and was late for the first check. We have been taking the XR250 with us, so if someone bike had issues they could ride it. Well this weekend it was my husband. His CR500 had no compression, I guess Roselawn did a number on the bike. He ended up riding the XR calling it a girly bike. When he passed me he did look strange on it. My daughter Megan was upset she placed behind me again in our class. I told her her bike is holding her back. We have been trying to Get her off the XR200 for a while now, but she has not been ready. She has it in her mind she is ready, so maybe at Marquette she will be on a different bike. We are not quite sure what to get her yet. My son TJ did the best in the family only gettng two point for a second place finish. Phil came in Third behind him. KTMmike it was great meeting you and putting a face to a name. [/QUOTE]
