Yup, for sure. I retired at 48 and thought I’d be able to complete some projects. Nope. All kinds of time, only one kind of money. None.

Awesome, can't wait to see what you come up with. Do you have any numbers to compare with a KX300? I really think that's the direction I want to go with this one.

Re: Project Clapped out 1998 KX250... what works?

What did you use to get those results? A wheel and rouge, or did you sand it with a belt sander fir...
