Hello all. I just joined this forum though I have been referring to ttr250.com for advice all the time.
I bought my 96 TTR OE on February 2010, it is also my first bike. As my riding developed I wanted to sell it to upgrade but then couldn't get myself to let it go. After riding it for longer time I decided the TTR will never be sold. I did a few minor modifications myslef, I replaced the stock air filter with a new K&N performance, changed the blue fork boots to black, fitted a black gripper seat cover, handlebar riser, and a small thermos box - was perfect for keeping cold drinks for desert rides.
Unfortunatley, I had to relcoate from Egypt end of 2011 and it has been 4 months since I last rode it. I am now evaluating the options of bringing it all the way to Estonia. I don't know how that could work because shipping will be very expensive and not sure whether I could drive it all the way.
Nice pics! It would be an epic ride from Egypt to Estonia, if you did it you would definitely have a great adventure. There is a website you may or may not know about called advrider which would be full of great advice. Pete
