Message: [QUOTE="OnAnySunday, post: 181419, member: 20641"] Most people get the wrong picture of dirtbiking. (mostly from our Freestyling brothers.) You know, the ones -w- 6 noserings who flip and loop over 400' jumps. Probably not a good picture of dirtbiking to Mr. & Mrs. America. My memories/idea of dirtbiking: A quiet sereen campground, green grass, trees at the far edge of a field several camper/trailers -w- barbeques going. The younger kids are playing ball in the field, and the birds are chirping... Suddenly the quiet is broken by the sound of roaring dirtbike engines! Tearing down the peacefull trails at speeds of over 40 mph. (wow) :eek: Freestylers? Biker punks? Nah, it was just me and my friend on our new (1973) XR-75's, out having some good old fashioned fun at our favorite campgrounds. What's funny was that back then it was a good acceptable hobby to be doing! (at least where i lived) Unsafe? Depends on how you ride. If your just puttin' for fun it's about as risky as gettin whacked -w- a softball. What about these high school football parents? When junior comes home busted up and broken? Guess thats acceptable. But get a bruise on a motorcycle?? eeeeeeeeeeeeee! oh my POOR BABY!! yeah. [/QUOTE]
