Recently (~8 months ago) Cam bought himself a YZ250. At an early age I was infected with the petrol head disease (motorbikes /cars / you name it) and Cam's purchase made me extremely envious. We took his beast out to the farm and I had a little ride on it... well I can say that I was sold on the idea of offroad riding instantly. I have ridden bikes for many years but never really a race ready motocross bike. It was insane!
Well to cure my lust and jealously for Cam's bike I decided to go and get my own! I ended up as the proud owner of a Suzuki RM250. Both of these bikes put out around 47Hp at the rear wheel. Riding them is something to experience! It's taken a while (read: a few crashes / falls / near misses) to become familiar with the bike but riding it is such a blast. If you want to do something that will give you a constant adrenalin rush for as long as you can hack it - then give a motocross bike a go! It's a long way from the AG175 that I learned to ride on!
As with most hobbies though - it begins to consume all your spare time. Life is for living though right!?
