ok... well... i've been wanting to put a lift on my truck SOOOOO bad latly... but i watched a video from years ago when i would tape myself ridding my XR100... watching it REALY made me want to go back in time and re-live those days where ridding was just fun... cuz i really miss those days... these days everything is so stressed and everything is about winning or dont even ride at all... so here was my thoughts... should i put a lift of my truck that i've been wanting for a wile... or should a go buy a dirt bike... most likly a trail bike... i dont really want to get a MX bike becasue then i will go to the track and make it like a quad life is... all i wana do is ride trails and fields... ride for fun ya know...


does any one else (full time racers) ever just miss those days where you would just hop on your 4-wheeler or 2-wheeler and just go ride and exploring...

no... i love racing... its just EVERY bike i own doent have ONE stock part on it so i cant just trail/fun ride with them anymore so i'm saying should i buy a bike where i can do that and never have to work on the bike or put a lift on my truck

i think sometimes people just have to chill out and go riding. Today i rode the 250ex and had a ball on it, just screwing around and having fun....was it fast? no! best handling ro suspension?? not even close! but i had a ton of fun and thats all that matters in the end. It isnt like your gonna make a living out of racing. Just have fun with it...so i say get a Xr or just sell the 450 and get something else to screw around on

I agree. I tend to have fun on the smaller slower stuff. I just sold my 400ex and am replacing it w/ a 06+ 250ex (with sportclutch) and a TTR125LE dirtbike. So far I am having a blast on the TTR.

see thats the thing... thats what i'm wishing and driving for... my family is just in a big money issue right now so i cant make all the races... i just turned 17 and this is only my 2nd year of really racing and last weekend i was rolling with harald goodman and leaving a few other pro's... my talent comes naturaly... i can not touch a bike and sit on my comp for 2 months and then go out and ride with a guy thats been training for 2-3 months and keep up and leave him.. and i REALLY want to take my talent to the top... i guess when i'm rolling on a factory ride then i can get me a bunch of fun toys... hahahahaahahha
