Hey all.

Thought I would join the conversation. I read the rules. I ran one of these forums for four years, so don't expect any trouble from me. I'm just here to hang, share info and stories, and maybe meet someone new to ride with.

I currently have 23 bikes at the house/shop. Not all mine, as my buddies tend to keep their stuff here also. Several are oldies that need restoration, and hopefully after I've been here and learn my way around I might find some info to help me with that.

Just plan on lurkin for awhile....let the noob-bashing begin!

"Don't expect any trouble from me . . ." that's what they all say. Wink

I don't. We had supercross parties all winter, but when it came to be riding weather (we have to winter off here in Wyoming) the "watching" of dirt bikes took a back seat. Besides, whatever channel it's on we apparently don't get.

We did all road trip to Thunder Valley to see the pros though. Highlight for the kids.

Welcome, Rangervee. I'm a NOOB too. Don't let these guys fool you - they really are a very loving bunch. Also, just claim "NOOB Fever" and you get a free pass.

It's been a while since I posted in an online forum so I'm re-learning how to post photos and videos.

Is it preferred to use a hosting site like photobucket or is it cool to just upload directly?

Here's a pic of a few bikes in my shop that is SUPPOSED to be my woodshop.

I will refrain from filling up your server with pics and videos until I know if it's okay.

It's okay to upload directly. You can even do it from your phone. Smile

Thankx. Might be a noob to this site, but I'm no noob to riding.

Raced an Arenacross or two in and around Atlanta in the 90's. Was stationed at Benning for four years so I hit a track/trail/dune or two in your area. My favorite was a place called Hogansville. Ever rode it?

I hear ya!! Just bust'n your balls. Nah Ive never ridden there or heard of it. I live north of Atlanta. Is it a track, OHV park or a public honey hole? I've been to a few of the big parks around here (Highland, Durham town, etc) but I hate the concrete like trails and tracks so I stay in the woods. Weve got some sick spots up here in the mountains that are hunting properties and bank owned land that we ride/hunt etc. So you raced in the 90s? Very cool. Share pics, we love pics!!

We trail ride, dune ride, mx.....anything we can find around here. Not much in the way of sx or arenacross, but at 45 my reaction times are slowing anyway. LOL

Pics of the old rides? Stand by.....rolling them out as we speak......

I have shelled out a massive $200 for all four of these bikes. They all run and are nearly all complete. I would greatly appreciate any insight about restoration resources, techniques, etc.

Maybe I should do this in a separate thread?
