I got to thinking: there are some guys who switch bikes like, well, you know – at least it seems that way to us lesser folks.
Below is a list of DRNers I’ve had the pleasure to ride with, which readily come to mind.
Three and over rule:
(and the winner is, the most honorable)
scar tissue - XR600, Stroker’d KLX, WR250F, 300M/XC
(in second place - certainly of lesser albeit noteworthy honor, we have a seven-way tie)
the Eel - XR250R, WR125, EC300
MXBundy - YZ250F, 400SX, CR450F
KiwiBird - EC300, CR500AF - now 525 E/XC?
Ol’89r – XR350R, WR400, CRF450
Farmer John – CR250 (E), 440 E/XC, CR250?
Rmjeff – RM250, WR250F, CR450F
a454elk – RM250, RM250, WR400, (and a new quad? There goes the neighborhood)
Then there’s a third tier, a smaller crowd of two per household; nonetheless men in their own rights:
Holeshot – YZ426F, KX125
Thumbs – CR125, 200 M/XC
CPTJack – XR400, XC300
mcassle – KLX, 450 E/XC
ggoja – DRZ, YZ250F
D36-108A –CR250, CR250
LongTime - XR400, EC300 (where’d he go?)
brettr - yz250, yz250
Lastly, it’s one variation or another of old “I got the same bike, and probably have it forever”, “sit-at-the-feet-of-the-upper-echelons”, “hang-in-there-by-the-grit-of-my-teeth” or “when I outride this one (or they make a better _____), then I will consider a new _____ (fill in the blanks)” crowd:
plysWfire (my all-time fav. handle), AKA bishop_d – CR250
Old ‘n’ Slow – XR400
Dirt Bike Dave – CR(E)250
Jonala – XR250R
2strok4fun – 250 E/XC
NVR FNSH – WR400
KTMboy – 360 E/XC
Dp400 – 400 M/XC
bclapham - YZ250
Fremontguy – 450 E/XC – should be in third group as he got it new just before we started
last and perhaps least (placelast), yours truly – RMX
So for us here at the bottom (or perhaps in reality, top?), what's up, guys? Peaked? Satisfied?
