So I took my 250R out the other day for the second time to shake her down. Man did she run good. I fixed the clogged jets issue and took it out to Carnegie.

Carnegie is comprised of Hill Climbs, Flat Ground, Whoops, Dry River Bed, and a MX Track. All you need in one place. Here are some photos:

Sorry if any are out of focus.

The first hill, note how small the 2 humans standing on top are. There are more hills, even higher behind this one.

It's an all original 88 (including the ohtsu tires on it.) It had been sitting for 7-10 years. I bought it about 2 months ago. The only thing I had to do was to change the jets since they were clogged. I did however put a new front and rear bumber on it, while I repaint the orginals.

Can you believe the tires held up like new, after an all out, all day abuse I put on them. Luckily the R was garage kept.

HA HA HA HA That was funny!


ZSK............Yup that's my 65 Falcon Futura in the garage with my riding stuff on the trunk. I am trying to get rid of my camper shell that is on top of the falcon too. Don't cry, it is on a sheet and is supported off the car on the sides.
