My name is Noah and I have been riding longer than I can remember. It has always been part of my life. As soon as the training wheels came of my bicycle, I was on a Z50 old school yami yellow and white #1 on the front. Still have it and still looks cool. Always had bikes, some where better than others. My out of the box 2007 CRF450R was my first brand new bike and first performance 4 stroke. By far hands down the bike I have enjoyed riding the most. Couldn't afford it when I bought it but couldn't afford to fix the old one either ('91 CR250) so I didn't see what the difference was going to be. It's just a monthly payment and more fun than money can buy. I live in the greater Toronto area and try and get home every chance I get to ride all summer long. My parents have 64 acres of partially wooded farmland that is completely covered by tracks and riding trail adding up to roughly 18kms of a continuous riding network. Usually every three weeks or so I get home to enjoy it in the nice weather. My whole family rides, and even my sister-in-law rides. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a beautiful summer day than sweating it up, tearing laps on my CRF. My next one is still be red but fuel injected. Me and my 2 brothers all got 2010 CRF450R's this past spring. No more trash talk over equipment, we are all on the same rig now!)
