Hi everyone!
I'm without the internet at the moment so my posts will be sparatic. anywhoo just wanted to say HI! and after trading my ready to blow up 79 jaguar xjs for a 81 250r which I love.. the first mod to go in is a thumb throttle (purists and motorcyclists please no flak) I hate twist throttles... then ride it till it needs rings and pull the motor for a top end rebuild with porting and some other doodads to make it faster.. (cause 60mph just isnt enough) It's great to get back on 3 wheels.. they just feel more natural to me then a quad. and my girl gets the best part of this deal she gets the almost new (but ultra slow and boring) polaris quad. so my one and only question for now is... how rare are the 81 models? thanks folks.. and since the weather is getting nice I hope all of y'all are out riding the wheeled tripods we love so much.
