Thanks KDX Chick! Great to be back!
I tried mountain biking as a sub, but, it just ain't the same. I enjoy MTB but cutting trail is way too much trouble since you have to grade the off camber and even blow the leaves off the trail before you can find traction. Plus, a fat man in spandex is just plain wrong. There are some awesome singletrack MTB trails around here.....reeeaallly tempting!!
However, we are blessed with even more off-road parks, good clubs and lots of private trails to share with friends.
My 16 year old gearhead son (YES, I'm proud) is the one that kept pushing to get the bikes. Also, my son-in-law was the high school history teacher of a young AA SERA Enduro/H.S. hotshoe in Meridian, MS who has just picked up a factory KTM ride. The kid got my son-in-law riding and then............here we are!!
