I LOVED my 250r. Mine had stock gearing, but came to me with really short tires. When i put the stock size back, the top end was impressive. We rode at a working sand pit, which was different every weekend. We spent hours climbing hills... The sand was forgiving in the event of a get off. The sand was also fun in that as long as I kept the rpms up, the tires spinning, and some momentum, I could make it up some ridiculously steep spots.
I could quite easily go down the rat hole of memory lane-ing on the subject.
For old times sake....

GS got naked!
FINALLY got around to fixing the broken off fairing mounting lug. The weld isn't pretty, but I was just happy not burn a hole in the frame. .
Cleaned up a bit and hit it with some old paint laying around the garage..
Back together. Its going naked until the forks are fixed, then maybe until it gets cold.
Having a good look with the fairing and gas tank off, I can say that my bike has become pretty grungy, even by my standards....sigpic

The oil rag around the fork tube says it all.
If you got a family to maintain, what time is left for your old bike…"Only fe' collected the old way, has any value." from His Majesty O'Keefe (1954 film)

I was actually pleasantly surprised. I went real easy the first couple of goes, then increased the temperature and wire speed a bit and I think I got some good heat / weld into it without even a trace of that awful sound when the arc burns thru. I tried to favor the mounting lug a bit due to its mass.
I cant even recall the last time I had to weld something important.sigpic
