Saw and responded to an ad here on gd.com (best site ever)from @xtracrispy looking for an :atc70:  trade for his son for an ATC250r he got during covid with a blown motor. Since I always make the wrong decisions in life and have sold my 250rs over the years, I decided to FINALLY get one and hold onto it 4 Ever!!!! It started out as a Roller and I brought it to Glamis over new years and my buddy Tyler from AZ and I cut a deal to turn it blue the way all Hondas should be and bring the blown motor back to life. @Tee had hooked me up with the coating (pepsi blue) that I love and it was game on from there. Below are the pics B4 and After.........AMG did the graphics for me - Dave from atc addiction hooked me up with the fenders and its going to have a good life from here forward!!!!!

It may be out at the 250r meet up this weekend!

HUGE thanks to my buddy Tyler for the AWESOME rebuild! This one is NEVER going away!

That came out really nice, it's hard to even say it being blue.

But that's a keeper for sure.

SUPER good looking.  Although................ In my brain, red really is the only color for those bikes. 

Boy the days of riding 250R's & getting the snot beat out of you were some good times.

Still remember that classic night meeting up with you on Sand Highway past Road Runner and taking a spin on your 2Fiddy R.

I miss mine but there’s no way in fulk I should be allowed back on one.

Beautifully done, I didn’t expect to love it!

Classic......Got the 250r from @wesinls and drove straight to glamis with the wifes minivan and MX trailer in tow......Got there  - threw it in park - ran back to the trailer and put gear on and Blasted into the night dunes!!!  Fast forward about 1.5 - 2 hours. into the dunes at around 11 pm..........some sketchy dude spots my gd.com flag and comes up to me on top of a dune with his bros and says, hey you on GD......I say yeah.....Im Andy.....Poule43..........THEN he says.......Im BaBa Bouy!!!!!!...........   

I then respond and say......."your an AZZHOLE !!!!!!!!  :lol:    

We end up back at my minivan at the first part of gecko loop and we are drinking some cold beers when @BaBaBouy says,"Hey man, I gotta ask you, Why is your van running !!???"

:lmao:  we looked at  each other and started to crack up!!!!!!!  It was running since 8PM - I was soo stoked to ride the new 250r ATC, that I forgot got to turn the minivan off !!!!!!

Great Times 4 Sure!!!!!!
