First ride on my new wheels

[FastMarty]

Had a wicked fun time on my newly aquired 2005 YZ250F this arvo round the back paddock. Love it. So much easier to ride and control than my mini! Can't wait to take it out to QMP next weekend if I'm allowed out.

She needs a few things done to her to bring her back to awesome condition, but she'll do for now!
Things to do later...
- New chain and sprockets
- rebuild the suspension - shock is a little boingy. Forks are working nice though.
- new air filter
- new plastics and sticker kit
- new fuel filters etc
- regrease all bearings and suspension linkage etc.
- new tyres (have these... ready to go on this week!)

But, i'm not in a hurry, just going to ride her lots!

Looks like you had a blast. Be very careful in steal cap boots.
Marty would of been faster on the LXR though

They are my Western Cowboy boots! But yes... I normally use my MX boots and gear... I was only riding on the dressage arena.

Woo hooo.

By the way, that dressage area needs some jumps !!

A mates son fell off his 125 with steal caps on and it broke all 5 toes and dislocated 2. The cap bent back and squashed his toes. Thats why I mentioned it but disregard that. The Ariat's wont do that to the tootsies.
Looks like you used the dressage arena for what its meant for. Good pics.

 

[FastMarty]

Ouch re the steel caps ... that's nasty. And how did you know they were Ariats?

 

[DHZ_XR8cing]

I had a closer look at the pic. I'm a Ariat and akubra man myself.

 

[DHZ_XR8cing]

Ill get a pic of old mates foot and show you tomorrow night. Ill never get on a bike with steal caps on again.
