Been reading the forum for a while, and thought I would finally be a member. Been riding dirt for 11 years, got the '08 250 in '09 from a salvage yard. It was originally black, I did all the work to repair it and get it on the road. She still has a bent frame and salvage on the title, but she means more to me than I would ever sell her for. If I were ever to get rid of it, she would go to my nephew. I just paid a shop to put twin air pods and adjust valves, clean and jet carb. She sucks way more gas now!
Anyway I just finished the paint job last week and despite all the flaws I am pretty proud of it. And glad it's over.
