Hello everyone! I just acquired my first XS and thought this would be the best place to post an introduction. My name is Chad, I am from the Richmond Va area and am 31 years old. I've been racing dirt bikes for 27 years and love anything to do with off road. I am a huge vintage fan, street and dirt. The bike I just got is in need of a lot of work so I'll be doing a lot of reading and probably asking questions from time to time.
I'll add a photo of my project. It needs a lot of love as it has been sitting for a long time. It's a 81 650 dirt bike. I don't have many details on the conversion or who did it. From my research it has a CZ front end, Bultaco type plastic fuel tank and a PE Suzuki seat. I plan to restore it into a desert sled type bike and race it next year in our local Virginia series and a few national events along the east coast.

I have seen some really cool dirt bikes made from our 650’s. There are some examples on YouTube.
