Who here is into bikes??? Just got my first one

not a cheap sport

This year we would have had to buy Calum a 250F (to compete) and would have left the yz125 to Sarah. The best calculation I can find shows that maintaining a 4sk is 3X more expensive that a 2 smoke..We have university for Sarah in 2 and Calum in 4..my wife retires in 2014 when my son is at home..

In 5 years of hard riding, we only had bruises..we were very lucky..a friend of ours took off on a very large triple down..he was popping off the rev limiter..he started nose diving and there was no more in his engine to over rev and ended up pile driving himself into the ground..both collar bones broken and shoulder dislocated. The only think that saved him was his Leatt brace..that is an awesome piece of equipment. His dad was close and he knew (as a lot of us did) that if he didn't hit the jump perfect, he was toast..

I am hoping and praying that the Duster will bring as much joy to them that the MX did..and i look forward to a couple of years wrenching with them. And god bless her, my wife has signed on to this. When we were married, i told her that she would have an interesting life.

Funny RC14, both my kids numbers were 14 :) I already miss it because this is the time that the team gets together and plans our one major spring order.
