hi girls- i'm ann, 40 years old and woods/motocross rider- and street........
been riding over 20 years, first 5 and last 5 i've been pretty serious, although i don't compete- we work our butts off november thru september to vacation in utah for a month sep/oct with our bikes, riding mountain trails, a little dual sporting- and lotsa river crossing & hill climbing-
i'm on you tube doing river crossing and blue hill pulls- xrannie is my channel there-
here-in santa fe, tn, we have a woods and motorcross course at home and ride with some guys who have about the same type home course setup-
i am the least experienced rider in our bunch-the only female out of about 10 guys- and it sucks sometimes.... they're all faster-cept one- and he hates me!haha. no, he's stuck being my ride partner most of the time cause 'daddy' is an old pro and runs with the big dogs when we ride at the same time. he did stick around at first though-
my starter dirt bike was daddy's(my old man-not dad) old xr600/660- at the time i ride a kz1000 for a street bike, so he figured it would be ok- it was, cept too heavy to pick up when i fell.
had a crash on it in utah-blew out my S3-L1 (butt/lower back)-got fusion on bottom 4- took a year off and bought a brand new xr250r in '04- came back with new respect, more patient, less gung ho on impressing daddy-more gung ho on learning and honing skills-(one thing that was a MUST- strengthing upper body first-so i don't re-injure my back picking up the bike)
i enjoy the ride 100% more now. at 40, prob. don't have a lot of years left to do this- but i'm going to as long as i can-
any riding ladies in the nashville,tn area?
hi to all-again- already did my intro, last month-
but- i've read like 5 pages of the women's forum (with dial-up!)and like what i've read- impressed by the number of women riders, what you have to say- and your bikes too!
but.............. XR'S RULE!! haha-4 me they do!
what i did that improved my riding the most:
QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES- 5 months-today!! added 5 miles to my "fun ride" or more-
y'all have a good day- ride safe!
