Quick update on the TSR AND the riding lessons. My son is coming along nicely, managed a full day without putting the bike on the ground :) Did around 15 km offroad on a mixed road with sand / loose shale and the bike held up well I've removed the mirrors and filled with 10mm Plugs (Black) And...

Thanks that makes sense

I mentioned the 9th Drop and what seemed like significant damage, tried to even out the front end myself and couldn't The front end was completely misaligned and I feared either bent forks or a bent column ... just collected the bike and it was a bent Nut on one of the forks so total damage...

Makes sense, wasn't considering that, think because I always used to ride Fixer Uppers I'm always considering how to fix the issue and not why the issue exists in the first place lol

Yeah that is true Maybe something like that or a KX 450 ? I'm too poor to ride a KTM ... or even to belong to KTM groups lol

I'll look into it thanks, I'm admittedly scared of all GS models due to the one I rode (Shorter than 1 month) was top heavy and always left me feeling like I was growth stinted and I'm 6'1 (R 1150 GS)

Nothing major regarding lines, cable ties and a bit of smarter routing should be able to fix My main concern is being severely underpowered and not being able to finish a rally

I'm looking at a new one for my son for his birthday and we wan't to go out and have some fun on the farm and dirt roads around our little town and this seems to be a good solution at this stage. I was also looking at the Sym NHT 200 for him but that exhaust and the ground clearance worry me

Me and my son ... I suck at selfies but in case anyone was wondering, I'm the one on the right :)

Dankie :)

Big Boy TSR 250 (2022 Model) I bought the Big Boy TSR 250 as a learning platform to teach my son, en route to being 16 later this year how to ride with the goal of getting him something to ride for his birthday. I did a bit of research on some available dual sport bikes that fit the bill and...

Back in the days just after we stopped riding Velociraptors I used to ride a KDX 200 - I loved that bike, but I'm not sure as I only ever did one rally on it and it has some issues running for 200km flatout, mine was a 96, the newer ones should be even better?

Hi, I'm hoping this is the right place to post this ? Dunno, literally got accepted today. I'm planning (This is still on paper and in my head and ignores the fact that I have back issues, a bad knee and currently a bunch of torn ligaments in my throttle operating appendage) on getting a bit...

Teaching my son to ride I can attest to the value in good protective gear. He came of in spectacular style this past Saturday and was wearing gloves, MX Pants, MX Shirt with padding and gloves.and this is the result with all of that at around 36 km/h on rocky gravel .... at least that is the...

Thanks

Thanks, actually been looking around for some new dirt roads to hit when my son gains his confidence on the TSR

LOLOL, I bought it on purpose ...Sounds like I'm making excuses but I got it at a great price and after riding it a bit I kind of have to admit to liking it quite a lot actually :) EDIT - I'm thinking of getting him one for his first bike in three months time when he hits 16. I could go on...

Hi, I won a TSR 250cc that I love, currently teaching my son to ride on it and although the bike has some interesting quirks it has turned out to be an excellent, and resilient, learning platform
