    Bought a motorcycle for the GF's son (wink, wink), he's 15 but failed the MSF training class, mostly I believe due to lack of seat time. I haven't ridden a dirt bike in 35 years either, but now have 1300+ acres of dirt to play on now. Gf's only ridden street bikes so I thought this Honda xr200 would be perfect to play around on as an introduction to off road riding. It's not exactly a street triple 765 rs when it comes to power.

    The Honda is 19 years old and hasn't been ridden much, so carbs are gummed up, I added some sea foam to the gas, and it's starting to come to life. Only first gear power wheelies for now as the carburetor is causing a bog,
