He rediscovered the joys of dirt bikes.

My 1983 riding skills are coming back surprisingly quickly. Now how do I get my 1983 body back again?

Didn't you mean to say "three mighty bruises"?

I went for months at a time without a painful get-off with my 4x4's, but the dirt bike seems a trifle less stable. (Ouch! Oomph! Eeek!)

But I'm havin' SO much fun!

BTW... I've recently come across the most trashed-out Honda Foreman 450S (a yellow 1998 model) I've ever seen... by far! The handlebars are bent, the rear rack is bent, all four wheels are dented and one is bent to the extent that it has a noticeable wobble, the upper headlight is missing, the Blackwater XT tires are worn smooth, one front drive boot is leaking, another is torn all to pieces, one front shock is leaking, and one fender support is broken (allowing the fender to flap madly as he rides), and the odometer shows 2800 miles. The young rider says he also wore out the original tires, and that he changes oil every six months! The engine sounds fine, and it starts instantly every time, but this is the only Honda Foreman 450 I ever saw that I wouldn't even give $1000 for!

I asked the kid (looks about 14 or 15 years old) why he didn't take better care of it. He just shrugged and said that his dad was going to buy him a new one for Christmas.

Sigh.

He isn't the Quad God, he is the Quadfather.

HEY NOW! Be nice! I don't have fat cheeks! That's just the swelling resulting from the last time I tried "hugging a tree"!

Hey Gordon ; I had to give up them 2 wheelers years ago after a broken arm, a bunch of busted ribs and a kneecap that got knocked around on the back of my knee. I feel your pain!!!!LOL LOl . Try to keep it standing up when you ride. That sliding to a stop with a dirt bike on top of you gets painful.
