I have started a Chat room on Yahoo come check it out it's called Team BORK (Balding Overweight Riders Klub) come check it out sometime and join. The nice thing about this club is even if you don't meet the membership requirements, dont worry...You will! We meet to chat every Sunday night at 8pm CST. I'm not sure what that would be your time, Probally the middle of the night on tuesday :) but you can still post some messages and invite people to your website and to join the XRlist. you take care looking forward to seeing some posts by you on TB.

| Comments: Found your page linked to the "Official XR Site" I think it is called, maybe "Unofficial". Haven't looked around too much yet. I am a long time off-roader and an 87 XR600R owner. I am looking to do something with it like drop the engine into a newer (91-95) CR500 chassis or something like that. I am also hoping to do some web stuff centered around dirt bikes in the near future; classified ad service, maybe an online catalog, we'll see. I am running an NT server at the above URL with a SQL Server back end and want to use ASP. Thanks for dedicating a page to XRs. | |
