Hey guys!! CHECK IT OUT!!!
I wanted another dirtbike for for over 20 years, especially a KDX200. Well on saturday, I saw one in town at a used car lot, I stopped to ask how much it was.... it was a KX250, and WAAAY over what I could reasonably afford, but they had 2000 yamaha dual sport. The dealer wanted a reasonable price - about 1500. I went home and told my girlfriend's twin 15 yr old twins GAVIN & LOGAN about it. they didnt seem super interested, but after I explained it wasn't too much money they started getting stoked when I said its not that much $$ we could all chip in to buy it, LETS GO TEST RIDE IT! Needless to say, THEY GOT UP AND DRESSED PRETTY FAST! We ate breakfast and with Emily's permission we went to the place. I first took it around the block and got TOTALLY stoked! I then put each one on the back & carefully giving it hell to show them how powerful it was, then stopped to let them try their turn at riding around a parking lot for a few minutes. THEY WERE HOOKED and FUKKING STOKED!! !! We spent the rest of the afternoon driving around looking for another bike shop that was open - no dice. We went home and started researching the true value of the bike, it was worth more than the price, so the deal was ready to be done. I decided to look in "CRAIGSLIST' and found an ad for a KDX200. 1 picture of it, and a price about the same as the smaller and less powerful (and not as nice). I called the guy and set up a meeting time to test drive it. When I got there I must say, I was completely blown away - this bike was fucking almost brand new looking, despite the 11yrs old it was - it has BARELY been ridden for 7 years - only 12-15 times total in its life.. LONG story short. As agreed... Emily, the boys and myself paid 300 a piece for 4 way ownership. I thought there was NO WAY I could come up the the asking price of the KAW though. I made an offer to give him 150 on the spot, and promise to pay the rest in 1 month, if not he could keep 50$ - NO DICE! I am already behind on bills and don't know when I would get a large chunk of $$ like that, before the guy would SURELY sell it. My WONDERFUL , LOVELY, BEAUTIFUL, GRACIOUS, AND OVERALL GODDESS of a girlfriend Emily - after ALL DAY of me trying to think of HOW i could hurry and get the money before it would sell, LOANED me the money to get it the next day! the pics tell the rest of the story!! Its gonna be sooo cool to go camping as a family and ride together. The boys tend to just lay around and do little more than watch youtube vids of science experiments, fail videos, and play XBOXone. NO MORE!! WE BEGIN TO LIVE LIFE!!
Dont worry - I AINT gonna dissapear again - I'll still play Q3 as much as I can, but having a bike like that is an incredible dream.... I got my first honda 50cc minibike at the tender age of 3-1/2 years old, and have had the bug ever since... my addiction to drugs and alcohol kept me away, but now that I'm sober for 4 years...( and clean too ) and being more responsible, my higher power whom I sometimes call god, has blessed me 10000000-fold from what I reaLly deserve - MY LIFE IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! SORRY FOR THE BLURRY PICS ..FOR SCALE... remember i stand 6'-3" tall - that is a big-ass bike!!
- ENJOY THE H3LL BIKE PICS, more pics and videos on the way!!
