Well since I have no idea when my neighbor might get the idea to take back his dirtbike, I figure I should get out and play on it while I still have it. :rad:
Got to get the paddle tire switched out for a nobbie, re-lube the wheel bearings, tighten up the hardware, and then ride the piss out of it. (Lil' Mickey and Daniel will be quick to point out that I don't actually do that. :tongue: )
Will try to work something out in the coming weeks. I am a M-F guy, so weekends are pretty much the only time that I could get out, but hope some others can come out and play. :victory-s :ride:
Cheers.

Well its not my bike, so I don't get too crazy. Somehow still manage to break stuff, though. :idunno:
I was thinking about trying out Shotgun, only been out there on the mountain bicycle. :ride:

Went riding yesterday with Lil'Mikey and a dozen of his firends, up at Boomer Hill.:rad: That place is wicked! Had a bast, but damn I was tor up by the end of the day. At the end of the day, after breaking off the front brake lever, on what should have been a simple hill climb, I was running low on steam. The last decent hill climb resulted in me pulling a half back-flip-superman off the trail :wow8:. What a pain to have to kick over at bike going up hill with no front brake. By the time I limped the bike back to the trailer I was done. :tongue:
All in all, it was a good/great day. Could have done without the busted lever, but hopefully it won't cost to much to replace (It's not my bike after all). Part of the master cylinder popped out with the lever, so that will probably complicate things. My neighbor finally told me he wants his bike back. So I guess it is time I got one of my own.:victory-s As much as I love the rush of riding the big 2-stroke, I know that thing would be the death of me. So I am heavily leaning towards picking up a 4-stroke. We shall see. Stay tuned. :thumbup:
Happy riding. And stay out of the big mud puddles. :smilewink

I've fallen hard for off road!

The last pic of the green bike, is the guy who lost his clutch lever when his sister/GF (don't recall) dumped the bike on one of the trails. The girls out that day, were kinda bringing it. It was cool. Gotta respect girls who will get down and dirty. :rad:
Sorry the cell phone pics are poor quality. :P
