Default Virgin Gasser says "Hi" !

Hiya Chaps and Chappesse's......

I've only been off-roading since last December, and had a couple of bikes already, which turned out to be 1./ Boring as hell 2./ Far too powerful for me and where i ride !

So, last night after a few beers and a few bids [On ebay] i awoke this morning to find myself the proud owner of a 2006 EC 250. Has later plastics, almost new Excel wheels and full FMF system and a bit of service history. Really looking forward to it, and learning all about it from you folks here :- )

Im a UK'er and have just got my ACU race license, so a looking to do a fair bit of Green-laning and a few Hare and Hounds events.

Pics from ebay advert - i should be getting the bike later next week:

Cool - like the look of those plastics, wonder if they'd fit my 04 200 ?

Looks like a combination. 2010+ rear fender and side panels, but 2009 shrouds.

Cheers one and all

Should prove a little more appropriate round these parts than the KTM 500 EXC ive just sold.......

REALLY looking forward to getting out as much as possible on it this winter.

Cant wait, but not sure what to expect on a 2-smoke off-road. I had a couple of 2 stroke road-bikes as a kid, but ive never ridden a smoker in the mud, so little or no engine braking should be an experience to start off with.......
