Good to see some people still rocking the 2 bangers! I had all kinds of bikes through my life. Starting from a PW50 to CRF450's. My last bike was a 2004 CR250 that was repo'd by my little brother. When I moved off to college, he just decided to take it and he ended up selling it and buying a KX450F without even telling me lol. Whole family is into motocross and my dad has an entire garage filled with memorabilia. I'm talking 1000+ jerseys, 200+ pairs of pants, hundreds of number plates (all autographed). It's actually one of my favorite things to go home, sit in the garage and sift through it all as that was my childhood. I'll try to get some photos uploaded.

You guys have a lot of places to ride? That is kind of the issue around me as land developers keep gobbling up everywhere I used to ride and now it's limited to a few local tracks.

Rode every ATC Honda made back in the day. Raced hare scramble, motocross flat track. My brother ended up racing a badass 250R. Had a local Honda dealer sponsorship. Went to Texas for one of the big stadium races. He started in the amateur class and decided to move up to the pro class. He was running 6th gear wide open at over 95 mph when the engine finally gave it up. A couple of guys from Team Honda came by to talk. Not too bad for showing up with a little flat bed trailer pulled by a Ford Tempo (fyi, the Tempo was not too bad for an '86. Got caught doing 103 in a 55 in it!).

1971 Honda CT90 - gave back to dad, I don't know if he still has it
1998 Yamaha YZ125 - sitting in a corner of dad's shop in SoCal (non running)
1991 Suzuki DR350S - had since 1997 and still ride, its a tank but cant kill it, lots of upgrades
2005 Honda CRF50 - pit bike, had since new, still have it, rarely ride it.
2008 Kawasaki KLR650 - bought new, built into an adventure bike, has 121K on the odo...yes you read that right, before married and kid and dogs/cats and Mustang, its nearly all I did.

Want to get rid of the KLR (but who would buy a KLR with 121k on the clock!) and restore an Aluminum Frame YZ250 much like OP.

Never got into dirt bikes but always wanted to. I’m an avid mountain biker that likes air time so I have a feeling it’d be a good fit.

have had dirt bikes and quads all of my adult life. Last quad I had, just sold it due to so many side by sides out there and too many close calls, Suzuki LTR450. Had it since 08. Great quad, quick, fast and no issues in all of that time. Currently also ride dirt bike, Honda CRF450X. Love it, great bike! Have had it since 2011. Oh, and my Honda 70.
