nice warm weekend! hit la luz a few times, met a nice newbie couple out riding, then ran into a pack of moron squids bouncing rev limiters on their 600's. NO ONE was waving back. I figure its that "first warm weekend so all the fair weather tough guys are out" syndrome.

Just get a 250 or 350 and let's ride.  I'm certain that either makes plenty of power for the riding we do, especially with your somewhat...hm....lower weight (compared to me).  I rode with a guy on an 80cc two-stroke a few weeks ago and he led the way down in the Puerco!

A 250cc 2-stroke would be an awesome rocket & easy to maintain.. waytogo Grin I rode a little 150cc 2-stroke and it scared me good! Dolph

Dunno about 2 or 4 stroke, here's few cheap, am sure negotiable and you dont have to worry beating them up!  Grin

Thanks for the info JJ.  waytogo
Massimo, Scott's riding buddy, recommended a Yamaha TT-R230 due to the 4 inch lower seat height.
I'll continue looking for 250 to 350 cc machines with ~34 inch seat height or less.
Looks like the TTR 230 and the Honda CRF 230 are on my shopping list.
I will be in the dirt soon  Grin applause

BTW, 34 inches seem a bit tall for me as well! Is there a technical reason for dirt bikes to be tall on seat height...shouldn't have anything to do with suspension travel.  Can ride height not be adjusted and suspension travel be more innovative? There's got to be some interesting thoughts out there to engineer mount points and frame.
