Second-hand off-road bikes are junk?

dads saying its something to do with the clearances, he has to reset them almost after every ride and hes scared if it doesnt get fixed, one could drop into the chamber

Hey was that one for sale with an 03 RM on tardeme on the shore? I looked into taht bike ages ago when I was looking at upgrading. They wer two really cheap bikes.

[flash]

i think the other bike was a TM, but i think it was the norht shore so it probally was. when we got it it was the cleanest bike ild ever seen in my life!, and it only had like 2-3hrs with the new piston. until the valve thing it was the best deal!

Over the years I've had about 10 off-road bikes, all secondhand. Never had a problem, and if there was a problem it was obvious before I bought the thing and I got it at the 'right' price.
