    Picking up a 2000 CR250R. Can't wait to get out and ride!! I've been riding street bikes for the past few years so it shouldn't be to hard to pick up on it. I'll prob stick to trails at first, or at least until I get use to the bike before I hit the mx track.

    Nice, congrats man, did you get to ride her at all today? I personally am not a fan of the 2 strokes, but it'll be fun.

    Congrats on the new bikes. I have a buddy who has been riding street bikes for a long time and recently got a dirtbike. Take some time getting used to it. i know its still a motorcycle but its a lot more different than it seems so take it easy and dont get hurt.

    Thanks guys. Haven't gotten to ride it yet. Will be taking it out on Saturday to get the feel for it before I hit the track in a few weeks. I know my gear does't really match but it came with the bike and that stuff is $$$

    It went pretty well. The track was muddy so the bike was all over the place. I've probably ridden it for 20 hrs or so tracks/trails. Riding on tracks is more difficult than I ever imagined. Learning the proper way to manage the throttle in order to hit jumps takes a lot of practice but it's a lot of fun so I'll take all the practice I can get.
