No room. Too many palm trees.

Well my son and I went out for another ride on the weekend. I met a fellow rider through another forum who also has a son that rides and he invited us out to check out a small riding area on the backside of Vedder Mountain near Yarrow.
The weather was nice and there was a lot less traffic than the previous spot we have been riding. The rest of my sons gear finally arrived (except the neck brace) ![]() He had previously rode up this hill without a problem so I thought I would video it for my wife, oooops. http://vid286.photobucket.com/albums...psrhpiioxp.mp4 He was ok, just needed a short break during which he got a quick video of me. Then he jumped back on his bike and continued riding. http://vid286.photobucket.com/albums...ps5pkphx3c.mp4 |

Thanks, he is getting better and is willing to give things a try at least. He didn't tackle this little hill again but he will again I am sure. I showed him that his throttle grip is already torn on the end and he looked at me and said "Meh, it happens, just part of riding" lol |

So we have been doing family riding outings, since my last post we picked up an Arctic Cat DVX300 for my wife so we can all enjoy getting out.
I have also been doing a bit of single track riding at Tamihi and Vedder, LOVE IT, however on my last outing this happened.... ![]() ![]() ![]() Bike needs cylinder head, valves, springs, piston, rings, crank, rod etc, to the tune of about $2300+ for just the parts. I don't plan on getting rid of the bike but also didn't feel like dropping that much cash right at the moment so I picked this up on the weekend for $1000 (1993 Yamaha WR250Z 2 Stroke) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Runs great, has the wide ratio transmission from the factory, PO's installed a flywheel weight, pipe guard, skid plate, rad guards, hand guards. It has a new rear tire, new clutch, new chain/sprockets. It will be great for the woods, can't wait to take it out. I have a new seat cover, grips, levers, handlebars and brake pads on order. So far total investment of $1183.42 ![]() |

A happy wife is a very good thing.
