I've had a few toys as well both street and dirt and you'll laugh but the one I think of often is my 1982 YZ250 (I had it in the late 90s) with the radiator up on the handlebars LOL. Was the first motorcycle I restored so I had the motor reworked, the suspension tweaked to my weight and took real good care of the radiator setup to avoid leaks. And kept it clean as all get out, and how did that SOB pay me back? Blew my freaking knee out! Totally locked it out sliding and hyper extended it, turns my stomach to this day just thinking of it.

But I really enjoyed that little bike and it never let me down. Most fun I ever had on a motorcycle was a day of riding after a good snowfall. I swear that one day improved my riding 100%.
