Intro
Hey Everyone,
New to this forum, but have been riding bikes on and off for some time now.
Initially started riding 50cc mopeds before advancing to a Yamaha Offroad 125cc and Yamaha RD-125 street bike.
Also had some experience and training in Europe as an army motorcycle ordinance with old Jawa 400cc 2 stroke motorcycles that were quite the "treat" to ride. Half the time you would be pushing instead of riding.
My next purchase was a Yamaha FZR400R which was a blast to ride and perfect size for my 165 lbs frame at the time. After doing some stupid stuff on it (dumping it and riding drunk), I sold it to help pay for my college tuition.....sad day....but probably a smart move..lol
After a 14 year break, I'm back in the game now with a 07-KLX250s. Typically only like to goof off on bikes, so trail riding is best/safer for me. I figured that a tree @ 30 mph is probably easier to dodge then a transport truck @ 150 mph.
Currently doing the basic mods to the bike, putting the ***** back into it. This forum has been a wealth of knowledge, so I thought I should introduce myself properly since I plan to be on here quite a bit.
I'm 34 and located in Nananimo, BC - Canada. (Vancouver Island).

I'm relatively new to the island (4 months). But the major spots on the pics I did recognize. Great place to ride cuz of all the logging roads, although I'm sure you weren't surprised about the rainy weather...lol
Thanks for the warm welcomes....
