New to the forums here, but I'm a long time member of TRX250R.net and love two-strokes. My sixteen year-old neighbor just bought a Blaster with a rotten top-end and I'm rebuilding it for him, which has led my son to express an interest in the Blaster. Since my son will probably be on a Blaster in a couple of years, I started looking around the net for enthusiast sites and landed here. I was an Engineman Second Class in the Navy, primarily working on two-stroke Detroit Diesels. I guess that's where my fascination with two-strokes started...they just make more power than a four-stroke of the same displacement. I'm always trying to learn more about two-strokes. I really like MacDizzy's Blaster articles, as well as the two-stroke tuning manuals by Gordon Jennings and A. Graham Bell. I don't currently own a Blaster but I do have a couple of Honda TRX250R's.
