Ranger, I also grew up on a dirt bike in the mid 70's and learned many lesson's on them. In fact a couple of friends I rode with had the same dirt bike as you mentioned, the MX250. I always thought they were so cool looking with the yellow paint and the Yamaha decal they put on them at the time. They were really quick and sounded real good, just like the old Honda Elsinore's that were popular back then. Nice pics of the Harley's, really sharp! I also have always seemed to sway towards the larger bikes, but that Hyabusa is a bike that you have to really respect, that is a ton of power at your fingertips.
