Had a good look in the mirror at Santa and said WTF.
Been a year since I pilon fractured my ankle and been on the mend since.
Sold the 450 about 6 months ago and recently started to get the feeling that I could ride again. Kicked around every fricken scenerio known to a man of moto. Modern, vintage, 250, 350, 450, two stoke, 4 stroke, 125, 250 etc. etc. Best scenerio I could come up with was to slow down a little and let the bike limit what I was capable of and settled on what was my first bike of my own a CR 125. First was a 1988 but I scooped up an exeptionally clean 2000 CR125and I am pretty stoked on it. Was bone stock cept for some RG3 off road suspension. Plastic showed its age but the rest of the bike is clean and low easy hours. Been through most of it but looking to sort the rest out at the track. Hope to get a ride in, in the next week or so and test the bike but more importantly the ankle which is doing exceptionally well if tou follow my other post for PRP therapy. Ride on dudes! See you around possibly.
Merry mXmas dudes!

@Newmann thats correct and one of the biggest decision makers for me choosing a tiddler. Can’t afford to let the power of a 450 sling me off into oblivion again.
Update: According to my post above I wasn’t expecting it to be 3 month before I would actually make it out to the track but with all the rain I wasn’t exactly jonesing to ride in the mud for a test on the ankle and bike. However, I finally made it out to Milestone yesterday, with all of the wind, (thankfully) and what a great friggin day. Its been a year and 3 months from my accident and 1 year since I was allowed to start baring weight on it. Had not a single issue with my ankle, nor with the 125. My boot irritates one of the screws in my ankle but I have a remedy for that and I did some tuning on the bike throughout the day. Fun as hell re learning to ride a 125 again and pretty damn nice having a bike that limits what I can and cannot do much like the wind yesterday (thankfully). Felt good on the track immediately even on the spot where the accident happenend. Didn’t do two of the bigger jumps due to wind but that was definately a good thing for my first ride back and being a little rusty reflex wise. Long story short, Its great to be able to be riding again and I now have to ride in a way to preserve that as I have let go of the ego of being “fast”. Was a great day to be out riding again with my son. Ride on dudes! See you at the track! Braap braap!
