Well here is a quick attempt to post some of my pictures. If you wait long enough, the pictures start showing up. http://www.inil.com/users/ultraman/moab2000.htm I know there are all kinds of html errors. I'll work on them later. Enjoy! CAD\CAM Kenny A12 South Elgin, IL

My youngest son, Ian, is seven and sobbed big crocodile tears when we packed and left for Moab with his big brother. He says, "I hate being the youngest." He wants a bike to start learning to ride on. Two years ago I made a mistake and put him on a PW-50 w/o enough instruction and he crashed into the fence in the back yard. He remembers that but says he is ready and I believe him. I am too. At the time I also had picked up a DS80. Both bikes were interesting but I seem to have no luck with two strokes. I was constantly tearing off the carbs and exhaust pipes and doing things like putting the exhaust in a bonfire to burn out the carbon (really, it was recommended on rec.moto.dirt). So, what are the list's recommendations for a bike for a young boy who is probably about to hit a growth spurt? Does anyone else have my problem with keeping 2 strokes running well? Kurt
