Hey, my name is Jacob Beach.
I grew up all over as a military brat, and was raised on dirtbikes. One day deep in the nachez in Elbe trails Washington, at the age of 6, we were doing a difficult ride. I was brand new, and I was on a Suzuki rm60, the bike I learned on. That was a psycho bike. Anyways, we were stopped and taking a brake, and i heard a couple of two strokes FLYING towards us. The trails were so tight and technical, I couldn't help but wonder what they were riding and how the were going so fast. Low and behold I look at the trail and over the hill that I had just gotten up two 250r's go airborne and pass us with the throttle pinned and constantly on two wheels for the whole 3 seconds I saw them until they were gone again... these two kids must have been psychos, and i was sold. I had to ride a three wheeler.
Later on my family got a hold of an atc110. My dad is a 230lbs goofball and he had the heads ported, had the engine stroked, full race exhaust, and Blackwater tires on the little goofy thing, and we cracked the frame every other outing for the last ten years.
My dad is now stationed in Alaska, and the old 110 recently had its last ride in the hands of my brother. Him and my dad were flying down a trail in Alaska and my brother jumped the poor trike and upon landing the trike gave up the ghost and disintegrated into at least 3 parts.
I just got out of the military myself, got married and settled down in southern kentucky. I recently blew up my beast of a jeep Cherokee, and decided it was time for me to mature, so I got a little manual 2 wheel drive Mazda b3000. The gayest vehicle to ever have a truck bed, and undoubtedly one of Ford's many shames. But I have to get back into the dirt.
It seems like every time I see a good deal I dont have cash or it gets sold out from under me. I just missed a perfect 350x for a grand!
Right now I am looking at an immaculate '85 200x that needs a new kickstart return spring that is selling for $900. To repair this I have to split the case right? If all else is perfect, is it worth it?
