lytehouse is gonna get dirty

[lytehouse]

Not the way you might be thinking though I just bought an XT 225 to do a little riding off the beaten path.
John & I have been toying with the idea for a little while now about getting some dual sport bikes. And we found this little '07 XT225 that's not too badly beaten up. It has it's share of scratches but we think mechanically it's in good shape. It has 640 miles on, so how bad can it be, right? Gonna change the oil first off and the chain needs some TLC.
And I know, I know......I'll get some pictures up in the morning

Mrs. Lefty loves that bike ever since she saw it a the Motorcycle show.
You'll have a blast on it...:rockon:

 

[Red Wazp]

Dirty pictures we hope! Good on you Brenda, you guys will have a ball!

 

[Kazza]

Hurry up with the pics Bren and CONGRATS

 

[Rabbitman109]

Awesome!! Definitely looking forward to some cool pics. I have been toying with that idea as well, because sometimes you need a change of scenery.

 

[Erci]

Nice! I'm jealous! No legal places to ride around here

Unfortunately I have to wait till John finds a bike now

but that will give me the time to clean it up some.

That stinks Eric.....you'll just have to come to someplace where there's lots of it....oh, like Colorado!

Went out and gave them both a bath

Hey Brenda,

I have the same bike, but mine's a 2000. I paid $1400 for it. I rode it to work today. It's my primary bad weather bike here in Idaho. I'm planning to get my tires studded for the winter.

 

[Norbert]

Very nice!
More bikes in the stable....
So when are you doing Black Bear Pass in CO ?

I'd like to learn more about your setup. I'd like to commute when there's snow/slush on the roads. I'm thinking it won't be worth the risk....but the parking would be great!

LMAO! And the answer would be never!

 

[lytehouse]

Took it round the block a few times tonight....well, it's definetly gonna take some getting used to. I'm so used to the FZ1. This is a whole new way of riding for me.

 

[Humperdinkel]

Very nice bike indeed Breno !!! Congrats :cheer: :cheer:

 

[adberns]

Excellent bike choice! I, too, have one, but mine is a 94, and it was beaten senseless before I took ownership. They are tough bikes, though, so it still works. Yours looks immaculate!

I would love to have an XT in Colorado - so many nice trails. Here in Iowa, only a few. I spend a lot of time on gravel roads. Some time on the highway. And yes, believe it or not, I can do 60 MPH with my 6'3", 200lb frame on the XT!!

Great purchase!

 

[lytehouse]

Found a decent deal on a KTM450 for John, so hopefully this weekend :thumbup:

 

[ELIZABETH]

This is SO exciting!!!!!! I can't wait to hear how you like the trails.
