Decided to get my old 1983 Honda XL 250 R back in working order after an 11-year freeze.
This pic is just before delivering it to the mechanic's shop. Paintwise it looks better than expected because all the red parts (tank and frame) were painted one year before I stopped using it.
I expect to begin riding offroad once again and I thought this option would be the cheapest way to find out if I'll actually do it and stick to it. If I find I enjoy those trips again, I'll then consider upgrading to a new , modern and reliable bike. I'm hoping to keep the overall expense of getting my old Honda roadworthy at less than 1000 dollars. I'll report back in a few weeks.

Keeping is hard work…...

Sold my modified KTM 450 EXC last year to a very good friend.
But unfortunately, his son arrived this year. I have fully access to the bike again :o. This could come worth….
"Keeping a dirt bike is hard work and costs hours of mechanic time.
In my memories it was only 15:1. But in realtime it was 2 hours of riding dirt and 1 hour of mechanical work.
Not even to think about, when you've a new born.Memories from 2007

We're on our fourth travel day of a 2000 km drive to reach Termas de Rio Hondo in Argentina to watch the motogp race this weekend.
This is my 1991 R100 taking me there as part of a 9-rider group. The pannier supports started breaking and I had to get them welded in Tilkara.
Today our final interim stop is Cafayate, one of Argentina's wine regions. The red-colored canyon provides a magnificent preamble to the green valley awash with vineyards.

Great travel pictures of your BMW @motojobobo.
