Well i rode my 01 suzuki rm 250 dirt bike today for the first time since i crashed on it in 2003. I was a very good dirt bike rider with the chance of going pro i think. I was in a race in 2003 and took a jump at full throttle and landed to hard and flipped over the bars and 2 other bikes landed on top of me. I was lucky to survive that one. I only came out of it with a broken arm, collar bone, broke my left leg and cracked 6 ribs. That put an end to my moto cross days. After the accident i completely rebuilt my suzuki front to back, but never had the want to get back on it again. My buddy who went pro 2 years ago had ben egging me on the last year to pull it out of the garage and get back racing.............well i did today and it felt GREAT to get back on her and rip it up a bit.......lol. After we had lunch, hotdogs and chips......yum yum, I took out his quad and went ripping around the trails like i hadn't had a 5 year break. Then i took the suzuki out and it started raining really hard, that should have been a tall tell sign to bring it back in but no not me i kept going strong, everything was cool till i pinned the throttle around a corner and she came right out from under me. I didnt get hurt or anything but it was kind of emmbarising. I think i might try to get back into motocross, but this time it will be on a kawi and not a suzuki!!:woohoo: :silly: :side: :laugh: :lol: :silly: :blink: :woohoo:

motocross is so fun! After many years of riding i sold my KX250 last year. I did some racing through the years but nothing like you. I was the track series champion one year:laugh: I think it is way more fun than a road bike but im getting to old but it will always be in my blood;)

Doing it in the dirt and woods makes one a better rider once you hit the tar. Just got to survive both! But age does cut short the dirt experience. Unless you are just riding the trails and not in berserker mode.
