Long story short i recently connected with my ex-step mother via Facebook and she had these pics...what a blast from the past!!!



This 86 was burned to the ground about a week after this pic was taken. It got so hot that the wheels melted into a puddle...broke my heart!!

This pic was taken at a 2 SQ mile abandon sand/gravel pit that was 16 miles via double track from my back yard. It was amazing!

Also taken at the "pit" this was a neat jump that you could float all the way to the bottom. My 85 ATC 250R that had a coffman pipe and Hondaline Ohtsu flatrack tires (i wish i still had them just to look at)

Same ATC as above but with stock tires on it. This was my 1st trip to St Anthony Idaho. We were there mid-week and ran into 1 other person the entire time.

This was my back yard and the trail you can see right behind me and below is the trail that went for 16 miles to the "pit".
This was in North Dakota on the Devils lake Sioux Indian Reservation where i spent 15 years. I miss the trail network, pit and thats about it.
This pic was taken when im guessing 20 degrees BELOW on my 3rd ATC a 85 250SX (my 1st suspended bike)

Just thought i would share these with ya guys. Lucretia hits the Dyno Tuesday and i have rode it once and she RIPS!!!!
Im still shaking!!

Was caused by what appeared to be an electrical fire in the garage but later we found out that it was arson.
We were able to salvage a few things off it such as the motor and frame. The carb melted into the reed cage and went solid around the crank.
I sold the frame to a buddy who put a 350X motor into it. He never caught any air and looking back on it its probally better...who knows how strong that frame was after getting so hot.
