hello from Boston
Posted: 08:36 pm Apr 21 2006
Hi folks. Just found a reference to this site on dirtrider.net. Oops, was I not supposed to say that name outloud? Anyway, we're a father/son combo in Boston. My 12-year old son has a TTR-125 and I bought a '97 kdx200 in December. I knew the bike needed work when I was buying it, but I figured I'd have an entire new england winter to get it up to snuff. Turns out it needed a bit more than I originally thought, so I took the plunge and tore the whole thing down to pieces. I repainted the frame, replated the cylinder, replaced various wheel and suspension bearings, chain, sprockets, carb parts, etc., rebuilt the brakes, and I'm finally starting the reassembly process. I was going to do suspension mods while I have it all apart, but the weather is too nice now, and I figure I better put a few miles on it first. Hopefully I'll have it back together soon so I can finally get down to the business of learning how to ride the darn thing - I have years of street riding but this is my first dirt bike.
Anyone else here from metro Boston? If not Boston then maybe the larger New England area? Pointers to local clubs and especially riding schools (if there is such a thing) would be greatly appreciated.
