    My new project.

    Getting started on a new project for this winter. This bike was the last bike my best friend had, a 2003 Yamaha YZ250. I know this bike from the time he bought it, it's first ride at Lake Murray Ok. To it's last ride at red river motorcycle trails. After he died in June of '08 it was moved to his dad's house where it's been out on his back porch. Last year his dad gave me all the bikes and gear as he has given up on riding offroad. I started the tear down last week and hope to have it done by the summer riding season. I have a lot of memories with this bike and hope to give it new life and put many miles on it.

    Can’t wait to see the progress on it! You did a great job on his CR250. I’m sure your buddy is looking down and is happy you’re restoring his bikes!

    It's been slow going with work being a pain in my but, kid stuff going on, having to take on my dad's house hold duties, other projects needing to get done and my health issues going up and down. I have finally got some work done on it and it is starting to looks like it my get finished this year.

    For the most part yes, but upgrading some things.
