    Blew the engine up in my 83-84 WR/XC 250 hybrid last summer. Before I got it back together I ruined my back again. Over the holidays I finally got the engine back together. Its a 84 WR lower end with a XC barrel and CR head. Been doing alot of exersize therepy to get ready to ride again.
    Put a new Wossner piston in it, lower rod bearing and pin, NOS Motoplat I'd been saving. Good weather today and tested my back out a couple of weeks ago on my 96 KTM 360EXC and it was okay.
    The WR/XC, well its a 84 WR frame with XC suspension and 83 tank and seat. It fired second kick and a quick ride around the block before loading it up for a ride. Ran good but a little lean on the pilot after rebuild. gave it a few heat cycles and a 1/2 tank of gas before I wound it up. Alot more power than it had even being easy on it. My back felt good even though it was an easy ride. Oil change, clutch adjustment and it will be good to go this season. Its my favorite all around bike, no show bike but I have gone through everything on it in the last year.

    My idea of a poker run, I'll stay in front and you keep me motivated by poking me with a stick! Been going to the gym and pool three days a week, might be something to that exersize thing!
