Used to.. sold the truck and sold the dirt bikes.. The street is much safer for me.. Of course some people in the club are now checking out the supermotard crap and I want no part of it.. they say a trackday is only $30 and it is a blast.. I just can't buy more bikes, etc.. I'll stick with the regular track days..
I know what you mean here MP...4 years ago I was rideing a buddy's 4 wheeler that was only 2 wheel drive. I was going up a mountain about 8 feet str8 up, and the rear tires kept spinning so I tried to rock back and forth. I flipped off the four wheeler backwards..landed on my back. I opened my eyes and here comes a four wheeler dropping out of the sky...I don't know why but I stuck my arms up like I was going to stop this thing. The four wheeler came crashing down on me the handle bars rolled off the center of my throat, and rolled off me..the four wheeler then was standing on its two front tires stuck on full throttle, I looked back and said OH $hiiit and rolled out of the way. The four wheeler went flying by me at full throttle and my buddy went to catch the four wheeler.Mudpuppy said:
I stood up, and everyone told me to sit down because I was turning blue about to pass out...I was like nah I'm ok...really I wasn't. I shattered two bones in my wrist, and lucky my wind pipe wasn't smashed, it was bruised tho. I have never been on a four wheeler since then.

Yea I had an incident on a four wheeler. I was on a trail on my cousins fourwheeler and came around a corner and bamn there was a mud puddle so I tried to slow down and when I hit it it fish tailed and launched me at a tree. It bounced off the tree and threw me off into a gulley and I stuck my arms and legs in the air (I guess by instinct) and it fell hit one of my legs and fell next to me. I didn't get hurt bad just cuts and bruises from falling into a gulley and the dude that lived there before had bobbed wire down there in some places. Im just glad it was winter so I had a big jacket and jeans on.

I grew up ridding on the dirt, asphalt or any where else I could get away with. I don't ride two wheel off road anymore. After I broke my ankle, I decided I didn't have enough sense to do it. No hill to steep or no jump to high kind of thing. I still ride my Big Bare 400 4X4 when I get a chance. Its mostly for pushing snow but, it gets its share of torture.

Yea I much preferred my little honda dirtbike...I had a xr80(first bike i rode) but then I sold it and got a xr250(I sold it to buy my streetbike), now that was much more fun than the fourwheeler.
