ok just a quick update. its been kinda slow bc ive been workin my butt off to scrape up some money. i gotta get my truck on the road b4 i buy everything for the KDX :( and bieng 17 work aint to easy to find and i tend to not be able to save money lol. and rather then get a job flippin burgers i work on cars and work as part of a pit crew so i average about $100-$150 a day working about 3 days a week so i still get time to myself :)

well found just about every part im going to need for the rebuild so at elast i know i can buy it all gonna cost about $500 for everything other then tires.( dry rotted but the front looks like its barely seen much dirt still has the nipples on it)

Looking good. I was looking for a late air cooled KDX project bike but found a 1989 for cheap on CL, so I got that instead.

so while doing some grinding today my dreams of my 87 becoming a dual sport and possibly a supermoto were crushed :sad:
the last digit (#17) of my vin has been rubbed off.
the corner of the tag on the frame was just rubbed off and the metal underneath was rusted

edit* well did a vin check and last number is an 8 but i live in mass so idk if itll fly like that

I went to three different stores today to find bottled water! People are getting a little worked up over this rain shower. Some schools are even closing already.

Are you close to the ocean?
