Well,, Where to start,, I was told in Dec that I could ride,, yup in Dec.. snow on the ground.. The kicker,, no dirt bike,, told to street for now.. maybe this summer try mild dirt roads trails.. that kind of stuff.. I havent rode street since I was 19 or so,, so this spring I was looking at 4strokers,, unsure of what I wanted or could ride I went with a bike I always wanted,, lc4,, got me a nice condition 03 sxc 625 for a really good $$.. Took her out on several short solo street rides.. Then yesterday I went for a ride with my buddy Dave "digger" "Slab" and many other nicknames as he is our local riding mortician.. We are checking on the dirt route of the upcoming "Jim Thorpe Smoking Hole Rally" a ds event with 2 groups, big bikes and dirt bikes(real street legal dirt bikes).. I ended up doing 37 miles of enduro trail on a big 625.. dropped her only once.. or twice if you count when I couldnt find a place to put my foot down when stopped..
Now, I'm sore, back is sore and the one get off is from the bike stalling on a steep downhill,, I rolled off right onto a rock with my hip,, so I'm walking funny.. We will see how monday goes.. If I can do this for a couple months I'm thinking a newer GG 250 should find its way here.. I need to sell some things first tho.. and fix some things on the house..
So the rehab bike is working.. and it really seams to like riding on one wheel more than two??
