Whats cheaper in the long run? A 2021 KTM 125SX or a 2021 Kawasaki KX250. Sales tax is round about 7% here. I ride 1.5 hours every other weekend.

Why can’t you buy a new to you Japanese bike based on older technology for $6000.

And explain the difference between roll offs and goggles.

You were doing so well too..

The best thing you can do to prove you arent stupid , is to not start threads like this.

Ride your bike, enjoy it, make your parents see it adds something to you as a person.

Would you drill holes in the frame of someone else's bike without asking them first?

Sorry kid. Maybe you would have a better shot at explaining women? That is something we would all be willing to stop talking and listen!

Y 'all scared the dang kid off. Here's one my dad challenged me on when I was a young kid and this was before a ratio rite and I wasn't allowed to use a calculator. How much 2 stroke oil is needed in ounces, if your fuel tank holds 1.5 gallons and the premix ratio is 40 to 1?

When seat bouncing, is it the load on the shock spring, chain, a combo of the two or, none of the aforementioned that produces the desired effect?.... No pressure. It's just your entire vital career hanging in the balance.

Don't look at me bro, I asked good questions.

Do you know the answers?
