now don't make fun of me... I probably will forget I already said it and say it again! :o :D

I do think I have a better story at work though... other guys my age talking about scratching their legs when shooting their golf balls outta the rough... and I say, Oh yeah? I wrecked my LT250R cranked out in fifth gear going almost 70mph!

But please... no comments on who is dumber! :o :p :D

I got my first quad when I was 11. Then from 14-22 I raced dirtbikes. From 22-24 its been back on quads.

So I guess in total I've been riding some sort of dirt machine for 13yrs. Looking back on it now, I wish I would've just stayed on quads..... I'd have alot less hospital trips, and ALOT sweeter of a quad. :D

11-05-2004, 12:40 PM
actually ive had a lot of wrecks just got lucky and didnt get hurt to bad. imean ive had a broken collar bone when i was like 13 or so broken thumb wrist toes hand and ribs and ive broken like 4-5 helmets.the broken helmets are a good way to remind yourself to be careful so i hang them in the garage by my wheelers.
oh and i never get drunk and try to ride,ive seen way too many ppl get hurt bad that way
were you drinking at the time??

Im 17 right now and Ive been riding for 12 years....:eek2: Carsh wise I think the worst one Ive had has been hitting a parked tractor 5th gear pinned ouch Long stroy and also coming up a little short on a 60 ft double.. But Ive been bucked off more times then I can think of.... Im sitting here thinking about all the bling Ive pissed away on quads.. wow.. I could be rich if I saved it... but whats the fun of that? I think I like being a poor person, and having lots of fun...

drinking before riding is definitely bad news! I wasn't drinking, but banged my head bad enough I have no recollection of that day or the next 2! Previously I've broken my left collar bone, and left leg from riding. This accident I broke my right collar bone, right shoulder, couple ribs on the right side, and left hand... and of course head trauma, which is the second time I've done that. ALWAYS wear protective gear when riding! I was... my helmet and chest protector were trashed... I may not be alive if I wasn't wearing my equipment.

20 years for me. Started out on a 110 went to a 200X then the ATC250R that I have now. Who else can say they've been on the same machine for the last 14 years? And it's better now than when I bought it.

Got a honda 50 when I was 5. up to a 75 then a 100. Then came the cr80 the 125 and then the cr250 and the big crash at 18.

Out of it for 4 years and back on the 125 and 250 then my first quad was a trx 300ex in 1995 and a TRX 250R in 1996.

First 400 in 1999 and the next in 2003. So roughly 22 years!
