The funniest thing I ever saw, and I wish I had video footage, was my best friends first ride on his Griz 660. There was myself, my best friend Shane and my other good friend Jamie. We were in Ocala and had been riding for quite sometime and pulled off the trail for a break. To this day, Jamie and I can't figure out what he was doing, but die laughing every time we talk about it. For some reason he stood up and leaned over to his right while the bike was still running. When he did that, he caught the throttle with his pants and the Griz literally jumped forward. I mean it left the ground for a foot and a half. There was this tree just off to his right about five feet in front of him and he went flying sideways into the tree. He wrapped around the tree, kicked himself in the head, uncoiled, hung there for a second and then fell to the ground. Swore we were watching a life action cartoon. Jamie and I were useless. We were laughing so hard we couldn't even see if he was ok. Of course, as he laid there mouning, all he was worried about was his Griz. It must have been a good five minutes before we could even check on his bike, let alone him.

lol ouch that would of been a sight to see, was the griz and him both ok? One of those times where you honestly want to check on your friend and make sure he is ok but the pure sight of it is just to much to bear withouth laughing till you cry.

 

Rain rain RAIN rAiN RaIn RAIN rain im soooo sick of the damn rain.. guess its good that I cant ride at the moment do to my shoulder or all this damn rain would REALLY be eating ate me worse then it is.

Local weather stations are starting to throw around the words (1993) if anyone doesnt recall that, back in 93 was the worst flooding the midwest has ever seen. We thank god live on a good size hill so we dont have to worry about our house. But I have been having to travel a bit out of my way to work due to many low laying roads are flooding.

yeah i wish it wouls stop raining up there, so we wouldn't get the water down stream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus all our lakes are full so it dosen't help any...

 

This sounds like another poll we should have, would you prefer a abundance of rain or real dry heat?

 

Ick what a choice... I would have to choose the dry heat I think, then at least I can get my kids out of the house, and get some things done in the yard or ride. Would really like to get some fishing in too, havent had a fish fry yet this summer need to catch quite a bit more to do so .

 

After a coupple of years ago CO. had one of the worst fire seasons ever I think I would deal with the rain vs. a dry heat spell. Don't want to throught that problem ever again!!!!

 

Seems like every year about late winter/early spring we get too much rain. The spring comes and you think it might just be the right balance. By late spring you wonder if it's ever gonna rain a decent amount again.

 

That has to be in the south?

 

Alright you guys, I got us a poll. It was kind of a biotch to figure it out for my first time and I thought I kept screwing it up, but it works.

I've rolled mine several times. And a couple of cars too.
