I am currently 17 years old, have been riding for 6 years, i have owned a 1986 DR 100, a completely restored 1983 xr 250, a 1998 WR 400, and i am now riding a 2003 YZ 450f. I rebuilt the DR, and the XR. Did I mention I wone the 2006 FVDRA Poker Run? thats rite... first place. I usually ride with my dad, who has a 2004 WR 450 , my brother , hes got a 2003 RM 250, my uncle, hes got a 2005 CRF 450X and an 2001 XR 650 , and my little cousin, whos got a 2003 XR 70. I usally ride in chilliwack ( chipmunk creek, vedder, pegleg, herrling island, Nickel mine, etc), but my uncle has a farm 20 mins from home. In the summer, we make trips out to Big Bar Lake ,(in th SW cariboo) We ride the interior, or the Marble Mountain Range, when we are up there. I buy all of my parts from Supersprt Motorcycle Works, located on the langey bypass. Holeshot racing is a waste of time. I ordered 1 simple part, and only 1, and they fucked it up. I do all of my wrenching myself, or with my dads help, on more complicated this, or where a second person is needed. Im not the best obviuosly, but i am pretty decent. As any real rider will know, the track and the trails are 2 completely different ball games. IN MX, you point youre bike and go, in bush riding, you better know how to handle youre bike , and you actually need to use it, not just ride it, but use it. |

Info: Holy shit... talk about POWER! manufactuer says 60 hp. I picked this bike up from a guy in abbotsford. he was too small for the bike, and he was afraid of it. Everything was in good shape. The guy i bought it off of bought it from Richmond Motorsports, so im glad it went through a dealer. The bike puts out 60+horsepower stock, plus an aftermarket exhaust tip, and a JD jetting kit. The bike has R

Info: We picked up this bike a long time ago. It was running , but the guy who we bought it from broke off the kickstart shaft. Since we got it, we jump started the bike, and took all the plastic/ seat/teank etc off.i have restored some parts off it (headers), and started taking the engine mounts off. Once we get her going agian, I would like to race it in vintage categories, but im not sure.

Info: My Dad bought this bike in decent shape. it leaked oil out of the kick-start bushing, but no problems. Since then , we have rebuilt the motor, added a coolant overflow/reserve, put on hand-guards, added a skid-plate, re-jetted the carb. The bike came with an Up-Tite racing exhaust, which gave no sound control. We put a supertrap 18 pack of discs on the end, to quiet it down, and where we do our s
