Well, here it is. I did it agian. I brought this 1985 atc 250sx home last Thursday. It is in great condition and runs like new. I am the third owner of this bike. The first owner had it garaged :naughty: , second owner had it outside:crazy: . I have it stashed back inside:naughty: . I'm sorry about the quality of the PICS, but these are from the old digi camera. One of the reasons I bought a new one.

wish mine looked like that,, the second owner must have been a nitwit, that thing is too nice to let rust out in the elements

I'll be using it for some trail riding, and some utility work around my new place. I still have my Big Red, but have not had much good luck with the engine. Once I get that up and running I will use the SX as an all play machine and a backup for the Red's chores. The last engine I got for the Red was supposed to be a bolt in and go, but I got it home and started to do the prep work. I noticed a funny noise when I turned it over, so I pulled the side cover off, and parts fell off into my hand. Turned out that the crankshaft was broken off. I'm back at the starting point. I do not have a shop to do this work in (yet). I keep my collection at the parents place, but with no working room. I have planned to get the red up and going again, all it needs is a complete, good bottom end. I don't really want to risk getting another bad motor as this has happened to me twice now. However it would be great to get a good one. It would save me some time and work.
