I had a Trail 90, don't remember what year. Think I got it for $100, was in awful shape, but it ran. Stripped it to the frame, put it back together without worrying about missing non-essential parts, think the most expensive part of the refurb was a couple rattle cans of paint. Put some Arizona desert miles on it, till I got a real trail bike.

I would say very entertaining as well! I have laughed out loud on many occasions. I don't know Trail Dog but, he gets picked on a lot! TD, you keep polising your bike! There is nothing nicer than a shiny bike!

Thank you for your wisdom.
Grom... Cool



Super shiney.......nice....

I was actually concerned if I was a little too heavy for one. I weighed myself this morning and I came out at around 246.... gaining weight again. I really have the itch for a DR200 though. I was riding down a road in the national forest the other day and came up on a big water puddle... I mean lake, and had to turn around.
