    New (used) dirt bike in the garage..for my wife.

    We have been looking for an appropriate dirt bike for my wife ever since we sold the Bandit 400.
    We decided on looking at Yamaha TTR 125 as there seemed to be a few around, they are cheap, reliable and very easy to ride. Plus it wiil be a good size for our son to step into once my wife feel comfortable enough to move to something a bit bigger.
    We picked it up about 150 miles form home up in Campbell River. Nice shape, will need a few minor things. I was owned by a dirt biking family so I'm confident that it was properly looked after.
    A good omen is that it was pouring when we picked it up..just like all my bikes that I have been happy with.


    The happy owner...


    Liam is ready now..

    Sweet man. I wish I could get my wife into speed. I had to get a life insurance policy just to start building a Motorcycle.

      Sweet! Nothing keeps a family happier than poking along the back-roads/trails on dirt bikes. You can all share in the beautiful views together.

        What does speed have to do with it? It's a TTR 125!

        Everyone who has one says good things about it.

        What a perfect bike for a young lady to learn to ride.

                              I wonder what would happen if one day Jessica goes to park the Subaru in the garage and saw a new to her dirtbike? I know she is not afraid of getting dirty...

                              This is the expression elicited just BEFORE going out at the popkum Motosports Park (only slightly exaggerated):



                              and after (no shots of her riding, though)

                              '83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)
