I guess im getting old
Long story short, one of my wifes coworkers knows i used to ride dirtbikes and went out riding a few weeks ago
He said he was going to take me with next time they go out so i decided to dig out the KDX200 and get it running
Now, this bike used to be plated and I'd ride it all across town (and had a habbit of shooting it half a mile up across the rail road tracks to fill her up) but at some point the kids took up more time and I ended up letting the plates lapse and it kinda of disappeared into the back of the shed
while it was in there the fuel cap exploded (i guess the vent got clogged up) and it hasnt ran in 4 or 5 years now
so today i decided to give her a "good clean up" and i figured i would have to pull the carb apart and give that a good once over
turned out all it needed was a half a gallon of fresh gas (with some oil mixed in off course) and i was popping wheelies across the yard again
(and it idled beautifully once warmed up)
and that is when i noticed...im old
i used to catwalk that thing blocks on the back tire, sometimes for miles
now i was afraid i'd knock me on my tail
i also need to figure out why the rear brake isnt working
