BTW - THEY never make an issue out of it. We all laugh and go on with life. Hint , hint........

I can guarantee you he could teach me a thing or two on the street! He seems to have my personality.....

It helps me feel better when I put others down, gives me a sense of worth.
In all seriousness, though, it's 80% rider, 20% bike, and I was just having a little fun with you. I have no opinion that is in direct opposition to yours, and only took you to task on the "I usually win" comment (easy to talk big on the internet, right?  ). Everything else you said in your first post makes perfect sense to me.
Now quit being tho thenthive about my "attack."  |

| Re: Dirt Bike bound... When you get out of the water you need to dry off right away to avoid catchin' a cold. That's why Towelie says, "Don't forget to bring a towel."

| Re: Dirt Bike bound... Not to mess up the thread or anything, but I had an interesting experience over the weekend. I took my cousin's 2000 CR125 out for a spin. I was cracking up the whole time I rode it...I don't think I lifted off the throttle...ever.  But it was so much easier to ride than my bike. |

| Re: Dirt Bike bound... Naw, they live on 11 acres, and the neighbor's 42 are connected and ridable (no house).
We didn't end up riding long, the other bike, a KX 100, had a chain so stretched we couldn't even adjust it enough to keep it on the rings. We learned the hard way there aren't any bike shops open past 4 on a Sat out there.
Next time dude.  |

| Re: Dirt Bike bound... Yeah, having some open land of your own to play on is a lot of fun.
I'm surprised MotoX Outlet wasn't open. |
