Default Something new

Well as many of you know I had a 1980 honda xl250 and loved it. However I hated that it was tempermental and that it was costing me hundreds of dollars a month.
So On sunday I sold it. And on tuseday I picked up this

2009 Yamaha XT250






Got it with only 768 miles on it, Its barely broken in.

And all I can say besides the fact that it waaayyyyy to quiet, Is that I absolutly LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

No more kicking my leg off to get it started, I can actually STOP cause it has disk brakes as opposed to drum and its reliable.

Nice!! I miss my bikes so bad I used to ride everywhere I grew up in the Madison area and I would even ride in the winter I loved to ride so much. Some day I will get another one but with 3 kids a wife and 3 dogs that may be awhile. Until then I will just be jealous of people like you that have them lol! Ride safe man.

New exhaust kept turning the rear fender yellow so I painted most of it flat black
