Getting ready for the season
I am getting ready for riding season, I worked on my daughters Breeze all day last week and got it running as well as a Yamaha can run
 ...Today I pulled my Rm250 out of mothballs and went to fire her up. It took me five kicks to get it started after sitting since October. Not too shabby. I think my neighbors hate me now 8O Next sunday I am going to put a new petcock on my DR and fire it up and get it ready to sell. I plan to post a topic about the Suzuki petcocks and how to get rid of them forever for 30 bucks. Hope Ya'all like it. Can't wait to twist some throttle and get back on two wheels. It's almost riding season in the high country YIPPEEEEEEEEE

What size is your DR? I'd love to find a 200 some day.

2001 Dr200SE, Fun bike but I am not into road riding as much as I thought I might be.

I think "They" are calling it global change now.
I still remember school lessons from the 70's about about the Ice ages and other times of no ice at all. There was all the talk earlier about the ice in iceland melting and blaming it on global change. I wonder if all that molten magma under Iceland might be to blame? |

I agree, Shifts occur all of the time. I just wonder if those large fields of antennas blasting waves into the atmosphere in Alaska have anything to do with this :? .

I would say the weather has been wacky the past couple years. As for 'cold' it's not as cold as it once was up in the northern part of our province. Meaning it gets to -25 C instead of -40 C during the wintertime. |
