[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 634405, member: 16598"] Wow, this brings back memories ;) (nah, haven't looked at the pic, that's imbedded into my brain anyway lol) It's just the Ivan of old speaking. Ivan, I hate to say this, but I've been there, done that - the sick of dirtbikes thing. It's hard to explain and overcoming it is something different for everyone. It's also a phase that can either be long-winded or short. For me, it happened back in 00, but comes & goes. Someone just has to say something to me & I'm ready to sell the bike. I'm lucky my husband won't let me and I've got friends who put up with me. Personally, I think the people are the best & I guess that's the one thing that holds me back giving up totally. I remember going on my first long ride. I was riding along thinking "all the hard work learning how to ride is worth it, all the picking the bike up etc etc". It's a feeling I'll never forget, nor experience again - but I've come close to it (especially meeting all the women & riding with them this year & what everyone did to make me feel part of the group). I guess the one thing we all have to realise, is the fact that we're not alone. There's the smack talk, for sure, but it definitely goes deeper than that. I know DRN gets slagged off and it's changed from when it first started, but us oldies have a bond & memories that are there, whether we want them or not ;) It seems cliquey & can be, but all others need to do is make a bit of an effort & the clique can expand. Now, we have to find some way of getting OldGuy to figure it out & get interested again (hard to do when he keeps injuring himself lol). (yeah, I'm drinking again, so might regret this post in the morning, but do consider DRN/dirtriding folk special even when totally sober). About time you wrote a decent long post, I'd even forgotten how much I used to enjoy reading them hehehehe [/QUOTE]
