havnt really talked to vince in a while thats a story for the dunes. Im looking for a trxR mamma gave me the hall pass so maybe next mounth I can come across a decent one .every since I sold the raptor Ive missed riding the dunes. street bikes not as much fun as i thought it would be I get bored.
everythings good here kids are getting older Im healing up form a injury about 10 mounths old now. dont fall out of a mule at 30mph on trials it hurts bad. thats another story for the dune kinda funny.

Thats the only thing with those TRX's, they run like a beast, so people jump and break the frames. No big deal though, just gusset them and your good to go.
Oh, hi by the way!! hehe. This weekend is supposed to be nice, so I am hitting Beaver on either Saturday or Sunday.

I have seen lots of them in the $1,800-3,000 range that have some awesome parts. My thougth is i would look for one with aftermarket suspension over engine mods. HP is cheap to make on a 250r suspension is what costs the big bucks. Full erons (sp?) framed 250 base with a ktm 525 aftermarket everything for $3,300 in wichita craigslist. I was wanting one that was full lonestar with a 330 in it but it sold before I got the cash.

I saw that one with the 525 in it it was pretty sweet. I dont see to many around here most are stock theres one in springfield with all the suspension mods done but i cant get the guy to email anymore pics he keeps saying he's real busy. I went to dallas and looked at one but it was hammered. so im going to union city to look at this 86 on sunday I think it maybe the one I get if its as nice as my friend is telling me

I went and looked at the 86 today its pretty nice its been setting in a garage for a while so it was pretty dirty. it has works rear shock and the shocks on the front have a sticker on the rezy that says pro shox. the shocks are crome with black dual rate springs on them. I cant find them on the net Im guessing thats not the manufactures name it also had after market skid plates paul tuner pipe baja style bumper and grab bar looked like AC and nerf bars. has the original front plastic and the cut plastic on it. Ill get some pics when I go pic it up next week
