Oh, I forgot to mention, back in November I bought myself a early Christmas present...
a 2003 Yamaha YZ250
That's my bike, with my 14 year old cousin on it. He's a better rider than I am... he's got a 2008 Honda CRF250 himself. This particular YZ250 used to be my brother in laws race bike back in the day, he sold it to a friend to buy a house. His friend rode it a few times up and down the street and decided to sell it, it's got about $2000 worth of suspension done to it, plus a ported/polished head and tuned for racing. It used to have a race pipe on it, but said friend bent it up when he crashed the bike on the street, so right now it's got a stock exhaust on it.
It's stupid fast... 5th gear wide open it'll do probably close to 70mph.. if not a bit faster. Fucking fast for dirt... I'm lucky if I'll get it going 40mph on flat ground.
Best part is, I only paid $1100 for the bike. Ultimate score.
