    That was 27 years ago, the world is no longer in it for us.

    There will be rich and poor and probably an uprising at some point........
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    85 was the year my dad took me too look at my first 3 wheeler. The one he rode straight out of the parking lot, across the road, into a drive way, off a bridge, landing in the creek. He was somewhat drunk, needing to make a left turn, in rocks, on a 200X with a twist throttle. That was the day he told me "I'd never own one of those things". LOL

    I was 7 and we had just bought the 200s for the cottage up north.
    Memories I am trying to relive with buying the 250sx last summer.
