    '85 Tecate with an LT250r in it

    Don't blame the ride, blame the skill.

    well the wife verbally abused and beat me and then left me alone after taking her to the beach for a shopping spree. see it's all in the planning. i played the humble i'm sorry dear, yes dear, you can do all the shopping you want dear and she was happy. hahaha

    ok we were in a rush to get it into the storage unit, so I will have to go get photos this week, I do have the title signed over tyo me and everything! it's pretty sweet! has the oem front tire still (it is cracks on the side so it won't hold air very long) and the pads have never been changed nor the chain as it's all factory. even the front brake like still has the plastic shield over the rubber on it. it does need some work, but it's all there. this one was ordered with the upgraded rear grab bar (sorta like a 6-pack one but much shallower) it looks liek it has the rear of the frame slightly tweaked form the 1 accident the bike took they told me about. i can fix it. (me runs to get sledge . LOL j/k! I will have a frame shop straighten it for me to ensure it's dead nuts perfect when the time comes) I am also gonn a get a gusset kit for it so i can ensure no cracks in the frame occure and check for any ones that mught be there. I had honestly thougth about ripping into the motor, but since it's all origional and the onyl time it had a even a valve adjsutment was jsut after break in when origionally purchased, i am thinking of leaving it alone. I will take a can of wd40 and spray it in the plug hole to ensure the rings are not sticky and break down any build up while it sits till I get it running.

    the clark tank, hrmmm interesting thought but i am not sure i want to spend another $150 on the tank. the tank is the least of my worries, the originoal fenders being in awesome shape are more important to me. right now. since the stock tank is dented, I may look at later getting a good used oem and saving that and use the origional one w/o fixing the delt. I would like to ride it for a bit before i tear it down for complete refresh. I wonder how a stock 350x will compair to my hopped up 200x? the 200x has been called "the beast" by several including some dirtbike riders as even with their 450s on the track they were not able to pull me at all. they were supprised to learn it was just a 200cc and not a 350 or bigger. (i woudl power slide the corners and start to pull away form them then hold the distance till i slowed for the next corner. at some point i was nearly 1/4 track distance as i would continue to slide in the corners pulling away due to holding speeds) Now I don;t know how good a rider they were but there were 4 of them and i was chasin my son who's 125ss runs about 18hp and is fast as heck! even with that it was all i could do to stay with him that little squirt!!!
