Damn! :(

My wife and son both rode XR200's and they were the most unstoppable little machines you could imagine. I've seen the missus completely drown her bike (outa sight underwater), pull it out, tip it up to drain the water and mud out of the pipe, crank it over and ride off. Great little machines that I actually preferred over the bigger displacement bikes in the real gnarly stuff.

I rode my thumper for years and always enjoyed someone asking to ride it. Standard answer was "if you can start it, you can ride it". Amazing how many big, tough biker dudes had no idea how to start a big, 4 stroke single and wound up with a sore leg from the kickback cause they tried to kick it like a 2 stroke. That thing kicked back like a mule if you didn't get it right. Fun stuff!

And that was with an automatic compression release!
