2:30 idk, I am always in awe when "some old guy on a clapped out" anything rockets past me :D It gives me an illusion of a hope that I still have time and maybe, maybe someday I will be good too!

2000 XR250r rider here. I haven’t been riding all that long ~5years now. Love that old bike. Every time I go ride with new people I get a lot of compliments on the bike and have even had guys on newer bikes start to question if they should sell whatever late model bike they’re on and get an old air cooled bike. No radiator to crack, no electronics to fail, and it only cost me $2200 so I don’t feel too bad beating on it. I know my skills aren’t enough to be riding some crazy 450 any way, so Im plenty happy with that old XR. Makes me smile just about every time I ride it!

My favourite bling is different colour powerbands

Finally, a movement I can get behind!

Paraphrasing a quote: "If you earnestly believe you can compensate for lack of skill by doubling your bling, there's no end to what you can't do."

The 2008 berg 650 always impresses with its deafening sonic boom on a group ride. Covered in yellow cloth tape for safety adds to the appeal aswell

I have ridden many bikes... and the most fun still comes from my 4 year old KLX230R with a pair of bar risers slapped on it.

[@bobromans4476]

I've found that my "bold new graphics" are power washed away just as fast as my old ones.

[@metlmuncher]

Any bike as long is it gets you out there. It's all about the hang time ;)

[@flyovercounty1427]

XT250…fuel injection, wide pegs, risers…lucky!!

[@MOTOMINING]

My KLIM jacket was great till the zipper broke, now I wear my clapped out Tourmaster from 13 years ago.. Lesson learned..

[@nickg2431]

In greece they fix that for 10e

[@timwhalen4691]

Yay X Ronzo racing XR still alive

[@kristiangunderson]

I've gotten to be the fast old guy a couple times, and its pretty funny. Once I met a grpup of riders behind my house that didnt onow the area, so I offered to show them some good single track. They were on new looking 450's with fancy graphics and gear, with me on my clapped out old YZ250 and Carhartt bibs. Picture Bubba from the old Crusty videos. I figured I better not go so slow they'd be bored, but didn't expect to be waiting for them for so long at the next turn.

[@TractioneRag]

Good stuff

[@user_28943]

The whole industry is hyper-commercialized, including the professional motorcycle bum--I mean skills training--people. I say no bling and practice on your own, perhaps with books or training videos. You don't need to shell out $10K to fly to Timbuktu to ride, you can do it in your own backyard.

Where can I get the fuel cap from ? Don’t have a gas bike at the moment or good woman . Hoping to get both
