Giving the yella bellies a little love out there since they don't tend to get much these days. I'm not a fan of course per say as my blood runs green, however looks like the 2006 RM250 smoker was a good bike...

TWO-STROKE TUESDAY | WE TEST THE 2006 SUZUKI RM250

The MXA wrecking crew chose the Suzuki RM250 as the Bike of the Year in 2004 and 2005. To our way of thinking, only two bikes were worthy of consideration for the 250cc two-stroke crown the YZ250 and the RM250

Wrong brand but worthy of consideration, right color/year and seems appropriate given today's weather...

It's still Tuesday and I might even have a snow photo of the MXA best 125 of 2006.

Yamaha has yet to make a new two stroke to make me want to replace my two.

I have worked right through this snow and not ridden once. That is some fun riding that you are doing!

I have had a chance to do some work on an '04 RM250 I picked up at a discount because it was leaking fuel badly when gas turned on.

I know it's not Tuesday anymore but I sold the 450 and picked up a 21 KTM 300 XCW. Rode it around a field for .6 hours and moved it down to the laundry room for upgrades:

FMF Silencer with spark arrestor
CYCRA Probends
Springs for a fat guy front and rear
Skid plate
Plated, street titled, and insured
*KTM Fan
*Mapping switch on bars
*brake light switch on rear master cylinder

*these things were plug and play out the box-really awesome. Been a long time since I did a dualsport or Enduro and I can't wait.

Is it spring yet?

Late last Fall I had the opportunity to spend some time on a couple of new PDS 350 two too many strokes KTMs. All the good things I remembered from my old KTMs only refined. Fun, old days here...

Don't know yet Mike! Only thing I will say is that since I first rode that model in like 2008 it was my favorite bike. Butter smooth, manageable, and just so fun. I can give you an update in a month. Dragging it to FL!

I don't think it's for me - I can't dab a foot.
My legs, hips & lower back are so brittle anymore.
All that leg stabbing just don't look like fun....
