Got me my new toy today.(PICS)

Well I picked up my new toy today...2005 CRF250R. I know...pics, pics, pics...just haven't had much time for them yet. I'll try and get some up soon.

, I'm just very happy right now.

Nice bike!

I think the F stands for "fun" as opposed to more of a race version.

Rider and Dee: The CR's are 2-smokes and the CRF's are four-strokes. The best part about the 05 CRF250R is that it only weighs 204 pounds.

No they still make the XR's, they classify them as the "off-road" bike, whereas ther CRF's and CR's are their "motocross" bikes.

I almost don't want to get her dirty . I rode it all of 20 feet last night on the driveway into the garage so she's still a virgin. I'll be busting that cherry soon .

Let me know if you want to go. Hollister opens back up Oct 1. Unless you want to head up to Tahoe for a day.

Heat?! I was out your way 2 weeks ago and distinctly remember wearing sleeves at night. The high temps got up to 90 towards the end of the week and everyone was calling it a heat wave. The low humidity was nice, but I can do without the constant threat of wildfires.

Sorry; nice bike Reaper!

I can't help but laugh at the heat reference....come on out to Tucson and ride here when it's 105 outside, then you can go back to Cali and realize how well off you are.

Mr.X...you can ride it anytime you want. Just let me know when you're on the way over
