I'd be a lot older if it wasn't for the bikes
It all started on a club cadet mini bike from two guys back in 69 when I was twevle, $129 out the door. 1971 saw a new SL 100 out the door at $499.00
Multiple Jap bikes up until 1986 when I went Euro on a WR400 monoshock, disc brake Husky. A KTM 300 followed in 93. But It was love at first sight when I saw my 98 EC 250 Six Days. I've purchased other bikes since, but I felt like I was cheating on my Gas Gas and had to let them go. Just like my other ole girl, I know this one inside out and its' held up pretty well and still gets the job done.

1998 Gas Gas EC 250, feels like a 125 with a 250's hit, reo-stat like-throttle, torques off the bottom and hits on top, loves the rocks and studs up for the winter. Too old and set in my ways to even thing about a different bike.
