i love racing the old bike against the modern machines. brings out the smiles on the older crowds and the bike dosent do bad at all

this was my 1st race and i got 5th out of 14 racing in my class.
and this with a broken clutch cable i fixed at the pits on my 3rd lap and after giving a broken down rider a ride back down from the hills

Nice Bikes I-25!!

oh also, Small Update: Mommy is ANGRY. but what did we really expect!? I spent 450 on it and she acts like I went out and got a hyabusa or something. Oh well...shes all like "your brother wants a bike, but he didn't get one" (but thats because he wants a newish Ninja, which costs about $3,000 and good lick paying $450 for one like i did)

I love my life. I think I live under a microscope because I'm the only child to move out.

I guess I gotta update and say that my dad got a new battery and everything seems to work, starter turns over the engine. Tank had some crud in it, and the petcock was left on when parked so almost 100% carbs need a good clean and some new jets
