TRUE but at least I'm not a Florida cracker. (Instead, I'm just a NETX Hillbilly, born/raised.)
Btw, To quote my much beloved grandfather: "Never ask a fellow if he's a Texican, as he'll tell you if he is. Otherwise, there's no point in shaming him."

It's been a LONG time ago & you may well be 100% correct. - It was likely a 4-cycle, as you didn't have to mix gas/oil. Yes, I know that a FEW 2-stroke engines have NOT used gas/oil "mix")
My Uncle Wayne bought it used for "a song" after it was taken away from a teenaged boy by his dad for "acting stupid".

The R stands for "race."
I doubt you were farming on a 250R.

Having ridden several versions of 3 wheelers, i'm glad they stopped making them or I probably would have been dead a long time ago. That Honda 250R topped them all.
A family here in my little hometown won a $40M award from Honda after one of their chilrens was nearly killed on one. Not too many years later the family went all to pieces and the attorney went to prison on federal drug charges.
So I thought anything with more than two-wheels was pretty stupid. Grin...
Neighbor had a KX??[something], loved smoking his azz on my XR75... His was pure racing mine was pure stock but as mentioned prior-the rider makes a difference.
I had a Big Red. I would let other guys drive it, guys that were used to motorcycles. Always they would try to ride it like a motorcycle, and it would dump them or roll on them. I didn't have that problem. When I went into a fast turn I hooked my knee on the seat and leaned in real low. Keeping the center of gravity as low as possible.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
These were some pretty good reads. Oh, the memories of chewed legs from those. Fun as hell tho. Kyhilljack, that avatar of your's is priceless. Friggin' great!
Was watching a young fellow practice riding what I assume was a new to him fairly good size 4 wheeler out in a sports field behind work one afternoon. He started off just putt-putting around slowly on the level playing field then after a little while tried driving it down into about a 4' deep ditch and trying to get it to go back up the other side. The other side of the ditch was steeper and he couldn't make it climb all of he way up and out of the ditch so he kept giving it more and more throttle. Last time he tried he fired it up big time and came close to making it out too until it damn near tipped over backwards on top of him. Luckily it went back down right side up. I would imagine several hundred pounds of steel and plastic falling from that high and landing on top of someone probably could be painful at the very least.
Had a buddy roll an 05 Honda Rubicon over on top of himself going down a super steep hill called Monument. He had just converted those crappy front brakes over to disc and never checked to see if they needed adjusting. Going down the hill he built up a little too much speed and hit the front brakes and over she went. Broke a couple of ribs and bruised his heart but he got lucky and survived it.
I started on a the little 70cc honda "mini" big red when i was about 6yrs old, and then got a 110cc utility, If I remember correctly they were 79 and 82 models or there bouts. I believe the little 70 had a 3 speed and the 110 was a 4 speed both with auto clutch. The 110 had the hi-lo switch and it was a pullin machine in low gear. Man I miss those.
