so i got Pretty Bored Friday night, i went out and looked at the bikes and just started to do stuff. haha. i started buy taking off the seat cover on the 125, after that i put on my stock 08 rmz 250 seat cover. i got a newer red and black one on my rmz so the stock one was just staring back at me. looks pretty good. the picture looks crappy but i only had my phone, what are you gonna do? then i started looking at the front sprocket guard thingy??? is that what that's called? lol any way Ive seen some drz's on here and i liked the bigger hole that you guys must have cut out, rather then the 2 little slits, so i did some copying. . . didn't cut it all that way out. thought it might look to big?? maybe not, i like it though. then i really got ridiculous, i was looking at the plastic oil cap? plastic? really? lol i just got a red PC engine plug kit for x mas for my rmz. so i was thinking maybe my stock oil cap form my rmz is the same size? . . . and they were. but rather then putting on another black oil cap like before, i sanded off the paint and sanded it more and polished it with mothers. haha i know what your thinking and your right, i WAS really Bored!!!!! haha but then i was looking at the engine plug on the drz, and i figured it wasn't shinny enough like the oil cap so i sanded again and polished again. the pictures look like junk, but there both pretty shinny. also when the engine plug was out in my drz i noticed again that it was the same size from my stock engine plug from my rmz. crazy right? at least now i know that i can get colored ones for my rmz and put then on my drz if i want? maybe get some blue ones to match the new seat cover??? any way here are some junky pictures lol. hopefully you guys can tell me some other bored stories you have had? or random urges to just got do stuff to your bikes.

opening up the cs cover also helps keep the mud from packing and ruining your chain. I have ridden in crazy mud where the mud pushes out of the hole like a playdough spaghetti factory. Looking good! My entire bike was built on bored, random urges! haha! Take that rear chain guard off....its good for 1/2 pound and 13 horsepower....this is a motocross bike now....safety comes in a close second to style....and speed....so I guess its actually third.

well for v day i got my girlfriend more bike stuff lol (dont worry i got here some ear rings too not just bike stuff, im not that big of a prick haha) any way got here some blue mid cycra hand guards, i think it looks way better in sized more so in the blue. i felt like the stock black ones were to big for her small bike.
also i got her a newer style Protaper bar pad WITH BLUE SIDES! haha i just saw it at the bike shop and figure if i got here this i could take here old white one for my rmz 250 lol (shhhh)

thinking of doing some blue anodizing on her engine plug and oil cap and maybe here oil filter cap too but not sure on that one. my friends dad has a machine shop and hes doing blue and red anodizing soon on some parts and he said i can through in some stuff so thats sweet!
any way here she is now.

That's funny, that's how I acquired my wifes bike....I kept building it up for her until the motor got to the point where it had so much compression she couldn't even start it...BAM! Daddy got a new mini (that's the bike I always post on here). I bought her a electric start klx140. We both couldn't be happier! Haha! Her bike is three years old and she has almost burned a whole tank of gas! Yeah! Darn thing is still basicly brand new.

haha thats awesome, im sure some day that will happen to this drz. i bet its pretty hard not to mess with the wifes klx 140. i bet that is a money womans bike. well not to hate on the ladies, a lot ride harder and faster then me but for the modest rider, e start, taller, and a little more juice in the motor (from a normal 125 lol), how could you not be happy with that. nice choice my friend.

thanks Bruce! i love the trailers history, my great grampa made it back in the day and then gave it to my grampa, and he had it for ever. he used to take my dad and my aunt out riding and he always used this trailer. After my grampa moved in his new house about 10 years ago it sat for about 10 years lol tell he gave it to me. i repainted it as you can see. i got suzuki on one side and yamaha on the other. my grampa gave me a 1969 dt1-B 250 that he bought brand new in 69. he used this trailer to tow it around! and i also have a 74 ty 250 that i love so i did suzuki and yamaha. everywhere i go people take to me about it. its an eye grabber for sure!

encase you wanted to see more lol, (i kinda like showing it off every now and then)

this is how it was the first day i got it home
