Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
As said above hints dropped at DRN led me here LOL. I'm 33 and back in the saddle again after a 12 year layoff. I raced 125 B MX/SX on KX's way back when till I broke both my wrists racing SX. I dabbled a little with Hare Scrambles back then as well and thats pretty much what led me back. Racing RC cars professionally for the last 6 years just wasn't cutting it for me anymore in regards to my need to compete. So instead of getting a dirt bike I bought a Shifter Kart and raced that locally for the past year. You think Dirt Bikes are expensive try racing one of those.
It would run me about $250 to $300 everytime I set it on the track for a race day.
Got tired of the money pit and decided it was time for 2 wheels again.
I always liked the idea of the KDX 200's and KTM 200EXC's. I decided thats what I wanted and then the more research I did it sounded like a 220 would better suit me for Off Road work and be less tempting to go for a spin around the MX track. (Fat Chance on that one as I blasted a few laps last weekend for the hell of it anyway LOL shhhhh don't tell my wife)
I recently got married to wonderful woman with 2 teenage kids
I took them riding this past sunday for my first genuine fathers day and taught the boy (he's 14) how to ride a dirt bike. He thought ATV's were the coolest thing ever till he twisted the joy handle a few times on the KDX and now he's understands my love affair with 2 wheels
I found the bike in the Cycle Trader located up in Tallahassee. I beat the poor guy up a bit on the price and stole it for $2200.00. He was the 2nd owner but it was in great shape and only needed a full go round of consumable parts. Chain and Sprockets, Brake Pads, Frt Tire and an Air Filter. Runs great came with and FMF Woods Pipe and silencer and a Boysen Rad Valve. I had to re jet it but DAMN did it come alive with proper jetting. It's still got great compression but to be safe I'm going do the Weisco Piston swap right away. One to many horror stories floating around about broken piston skirts.
Looking foward to Racing the whoile 05/06 Hare Scramble season with the Florida Trail Riders group and racing my first Enduro. My goal is to be in good enough shape to ride the Alligator Enduro and possibly the GNCC Florida stop early next year.
Thats about it for now and I look forward to talking with everyone in the future :)
Glad I found it cause this looks like a great place and tons of good info. If there are any other KDXers in south FL drop me a reply. I'd like to find some more folks to ride with down this way as riding areas are somewhat limited (I hate you Cali guys 
). 
LOL
