in 1980 my father had me work with him for the summer. i earned 400 dollars. i searched the paper and bought a 1974 xl 250. super tough and super fun. put a super trap exhaust on it. you actually have the stock tank. what a score.

That’s a great bike and Ms Andrea is doing a great job riding it. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

I had one of these xl250 early/mid '70's.. cool old bike, perfect for wifey to learn on for sure..I'd hold off on the turn signals until she gets a bit more proficient ;) Also, have her tuck her shoelaces in her shoe since there's no cover on the front sprocket...
@TermiteOffroad2 ай бұрын
Yeah she’s since started tucking them, after they almost got wrapped around the shifter. But yeah so far she’s kept it two wheels down but turn signals will be on hold 😆😆👍

I love it! My very first motorcycle was a ‘76 Honda Elsinore MR50, my dad bought it for me when I was 9, and he bought my older brother a ‘76 Honda Elsinore 125MT, Which was street legal. We lived in McNeil MS at the time. Had a love for Honda’s ever since. Owned a bunch of them.
