This is why my right knee doesn't work as it should.

[Big House]

I had a blast on this in the 80's. A lot of trails in the Missouri state parks and MX tracks across NE Oklahoma and SE Kansas. Snapped my right ACL and was out of work for 6 months. That was a trying time for me and my spouse. Spouse did not survive it. She was served the big D papers at work.

Not going to lie, this was the first thing to pop into my head when I read the title.

I had a RM250 back in the mid 80's for about an hour. I'd ridden or owned several bikes by then, but that thing scared the crap outta me. Way too much power for my dumb azz.

I had a Yamaha IT 250 that was scary.

Had a couple Hodaca 125 we used on the farm/ranch. Man it’s a wonder any of us survived.

I like Yamahas, but free CR500s were hard to turn down. I had a couple Suzuki rm465s. Great bikes. I have rode a couple of YZ 490s too. I love Dirt Bikes, they were my love and hurt me bad at the same time.

Hodaka Super Rat 100. One of my first dirt bikes. Man that one was a blast to ride.

I rode with a guy who was an absolute performer on the CR500. He did things on it that was not seen until the late 90's on TV.

My ACL was the result of having the 125 head ported and polished. The powerband was a lot closer than what I used too. That thing was scary.

Just in case you get on it again.
