I/we need another bike like I/we need another hole
in our head, but.......it was almost show room new
and only 1/2 price of a new one....so. How could
I stop myself?

It is a 2003 GasGas TXT 70 Rookie Trials bike. 8.5 HP and 135#. Full
size
frame and wheels.
I picked it mostly for the GF to get more technical experience. Lots
of
practice with the throttle,clutch and brakes. Working on her ballance
and
timming doing step ups and off camber loose traction situations.
That and it is going to be a hell of a fun pit/camp bike. We can ride
all day and never get further than 100yds from the beer cooler.
Cheers, SloCalSpode

Exactly why I got mine. You'll have a blast.
Mine's got a YZ250 engine in it though...

Roger that! Nothin' better than a new bike in the garage.
Congrats to Betsey!

No more room in the garage. It's sitting in the
livingroom next to the KDX, across from the Gilera.
Oh my.......
Yes, she is pretty excited about the new toy.
Can't wait to get out for a "Trials" ride soon.
Thanks for the good wishes.
