What's up everyone...

I just felt like sharing my experience from my ride on Saturday...

I am new to riding dirt bikes, so give me a break...lol, so to the point...

I was riding up a trail and I gave it some more gas, got bucked off and my bike flew off the hill about 30-40 feet down...

The bike is in good shape, just had to readjust the handle bars, I am okay, just got some cuts on my knees...

But I rode all day long after that... Good Time, Good Times...

Happy New Years everyone!

Cool! Glad you didn't get hurt.

I've done the black plastic before. It looks great until after the first ride. Hitting it with Pledge after cleaning helps.

I'm jealous! We have about 14" of snow here in NY - it's great for the sledheads but not so much for the dirtbikes! Glad you're ok and got back on the bike.

carnegie is fun, but hollister has way more to do there. groomed tracks, nice trails, and oodles of singletrack, but the hills dont measure up to carnegie. if you're into trail riding, you need to hit up clear creek though, 70000 acres of nothing but hills and trails and dirt roads and fun!

I have seen them spray painted, but after the first ride, they look like CRAP.... try motosport.com or ebay.com

And to answer your question, i purchased the bike with those plastics already on it...

Good Luck!
