Hi, my name is Mark and I live in South Louisiana. I am 16 years old and this is my 23 year old Honda XL500. It runs sweet, always starts on one or two kicks, and throws dirt all the way down our gravel road! And with that 23 inch front wheel it rolls over all kinds of ditches. Can you believe that my uncle was gonna throw it in the trash because it smoked a little??!!! Okay, so first gear is gone, too, but WHO NEEDS IT?? It has never been rebuilt, but all I really had to buy was a drive chain and it was ready to go! I plan to put the taillight back on to make it street legal again soon, but that is all I would do to improve it. It WAS a red bike, faded by the sun to a sickly PINK, so that's why it got that much classier paint job that you see! I almost apologized for only having a picture of it covered with DIRT...and then I laughed when I realized where I was sending it!
Thanks, your website is great!
