Long break from riding
« on: August 07, 2006, 05:12:25 PM »
Besides my one year away from riding while stationed away in Korea, this is my longest break now.  I rode the heck out of my bike while helping put on my clubs national Hare & Hound back in February.  I parked it the night after the race in my garage with bald tires and it still has desert dirt on it from last Feb.  :roll:

Got involved with home improvements all spring and summer and now I'm looking to getting the beast back out.  I actually almost contemplated giving up dirt biking but I'm just not ready.  I will be switching the types of riding/racing I do though.  I'll be doing strictly GP races and a few moto races.  I've beat my bike up too much desert racing and since I'm keeping this bike forever, I want to make sure she makes it.  I've never raced for a trophy and could care less (too old).  I just like getting out there with family and friends to ride around the race course.  :wink:

I understand, I've not ridden dirt in forever. Last park within' hours closed and then the wife made me sell the KX (Yes, I still love her alot). No need to have a drag racer with nowhere to ride it. Still have dirtbikes, still love the sport. Just nowhere to ride and like you, just no time and now can't at all. I'll be back into it before I know it. Buying my wife a new dirtbike, so we will see.

I know that I am getting parts because of it but I feel for you all the same, I will just try and make the best use I can out of your bike bits to make em feel at home over here.

Regards Scott.
