RE: The Best, The Absolute Best

That’s a real nice ride
Been years no decade’s since I have ridden a motorcycle and most of my real ding was off road and motocross where smooth wasn’t always the way to go
But on road yes smooth is best

Enjoy your ride today

Sort:  

I rode primarily in the dirt for years and years. You are, of course, correct that smooth is not the way to go there. Sudden and decisive action is what makes old motocross riders.

I will say (and have said often) that the lessons I learned in the dirt keep me alive today. Just a bit smoother :)

Thanks for stopping by my friend! I promise to enjoy the ride today.

That’s a very good point motocross is a lot about quick reactions and I can imagine that can be a factor of experience for road riding

My stepson hopes to buy a bike next year no doubt I will want to give it a ride probably when my wife isn’t around lol

I was married to one of those :) For a short time. I had to keep my dirt bike at a buddy's place. I may or may not have told her I sold it...

Lol
I can relate my ex was the same perhaps justified after she saw me have a rough crash in one race broken ribs dislocated shoulder etc

I agreed to give up after that one officially at least lol

But did do the odd race afterwards of a friends bike which was my bike I gave to him sort off if you know what I mean lol

Back in the day, none of my dirt bikes had a title-those were only for licensed vehicles. So who owned which bike was often more than a little bit fluid :)

Exactly 👍
