Hi all, I've been a watcher of this forum for some time, and learned a lot! Thank you all.
I own a (almost new) Blue TTR250 2003 which has been parked home in Canada for too many years. I live abroad for work and ride a few bikes, and I find myself with too many bikes not enough time.
Upgrading it in many ways with great stuff and some kind assistance from Brian has convinced me to turn it into a low speed, low cost, low maintenance and low loss adventure bike (in case anything go wrong) for traveling the less developed countries. The bike was bought new for my son in 2004 a few months before he decided to go back live with his Mother. The TTR only has 170 km on the clock, and it needs love as you can imagine. Upgrading the bike and starting it every year when I get home to help my folks out sort of became a hobby with time, but I'm sick of it, I'd like it to just start so I can hit the trail when I'm in Canada but no, the carburetor needs affection each time.. So I'm going to make this light adventure thing real from December on, or else let the bike go. I actually never had a chance to really enjoy it to its potential, but somehow I'm so much looking forward to it! Cheers!
