Rob, dont judge me by your own worst measure
lt has nothing to do with my profession of throttle control issues at 47, ive had them all my life and still indulge them on occasion, on my painmakers like the attached. One of the reasons im still alive and in good condition is due to where i do and did my dumba$$ $hit.
l hear you Shark, if there where full size colour pics of hot shot before and after an off in the woods at the trail head it may make people think, maybe.
Opsled, There was a study in the 80s where i grew up in the UK, it found the majority of traffic fatalities happened within 3 miles of the home. The only thing they came up with in the way of an answer was that the more familar the surroundings the more switched off, or in the other extreme of more cocky people became, 30 years later it still makes sense
On that note, im going to ride my 800, fast, age 47, through trees and on familiar trails, just not fast through the trees on the familiar trails
Just sayin.....
