Hello Fellow KDX Riders

Greetings and Salutations from Washington DC, the crime capital of the universe, if you count the politicians.
What brings me to this site is my trusty Steed a 2000 KDX-200 stocker [my favorite]. I was able to get it tagged, titled, registered and insured in VA, one of many bikes I have in my corral. I have taken it on tracks and trails in: MD, VA, WVA, PA, CO and Utah [Moab my favorite]. This bike has a spiritual connection to me.
I am a 67year-old male rider and have owned many bikes in my day including however not limited to:: Street Bikes: Vintage/Classical Harleys, Triumphs, Yamahas and Hondas as well as a 2007 Ducati 1000 Monster [my second favorite]; Dual Sports: 2004 DRZ-400, XL-650; MX: Yamaha YZ-250, YZ-426F, RM-125.
I spent a few seasons racing in the D class [Novice] MX and Enduro finishing last due to fear and anxiety. I tried some Speedway racing, thinking I would be a good Flat Track racer. Took a class somewhere in New Jersy with the same results.
I have a 77 Triumph Street Tracker left over from that era and the road-rash to prove it. Amazingly I survived all the failures, wreckage, injuries, mayhem and street-fights to make it to this post however I’m not done yet.
My plan is to customize my KDX into a glamor show bike and take it to Daytona Bike Week and Sturgis and show them what a real motorcycle is all about.

Sounds super! I understand the spiritual connection. I had this with my 1985 BMW K100RS, Takamine EA10C guitar, and Freeline Longboard. These three specific items standout among dozens and dozens of motos, guitars, & surf boards. Some of my other motos, guitars, & surf boards jelled alright with me. Some never ever did. But, the 3 mentioned ones were like magic.
