Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
Re: Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
I'd tell you to sell the Kaw out of self-interest :) My daughter is likely going to have outgrown her TTR110 by the summer and it'll be time to teach her to use a clutch. Unfortunately for me, having just put a Beta in the garage, I don't think I could sneak another bike in there. Those green bikes stick out as an obvious new thing in the stable :)

Just tell your wife you bought new green plastics for the old blue bike (and sell that one to me;))

Re: Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
Like you need another bike....that place you keep them was looking pretty full when I saw it!
I have to say though that my WR250R impresses me every time I get out on the trails with it.

Re: Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
I've got a ttr125e that I need to pull out of the shed and clean up. You could swap a 110 for a 125 and no one would be the wiser. ;)Twist wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 8:31 amI'd tell you to sell the Kaw out of self-interest :) My daughter is likely going to have outgrown her TTR110 by the summer and it'll be time to teach her to use a clutch.

Re: Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
Thanks, I might try that when she's feeling frisky on the 110. I have a sure fire way of teaching the friction zone to first timers. We sponsored a midshipman a few years ago and taught him how to drive our 6-speed Jeep. Once his friends found out and I ended up teaching about half of 5th Company at the Naval Academy how to drive a clutch. No worries though. I put them all to work to pay for the lessons.Marylander wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 4:48 pmI've got a ttr125e that I need to pull out of the shed and clean up.

Using a clutch these days is a forgotten skill.Twist wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 5:04 pm

Re: Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
I had a manual car stolen by a crack head. The guy had just enough of a notion of how to operate a clutch to get the car going. When it was recovered the transmission and clutch setup were destroyed. The car was pretty much brand new too and was the first car I ever bought myself. :(
Re: Thinking about selling one of my little bikes?
I chased a guy on a stolen sport bike years ago. He didn't really know how to ride. He was trying to shift but I think he was just kicking it down. But in first gear he was still doing 70 mph. He eventually crashed and I took him to the hospital before jail.Marylander wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:07 pm
