[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 733645, member: 16301"] pffft Nicki, that ain't long!!! :laugh: Right Michelle?! :thumb: My family (extended family actually, parents, bro, grand parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins......) had all been into riding and racing since before my time but mom & I rode horses in the summer and snowmobiled with the family in the winter. I rode my bro's and cousins bikes a few times but never felt confident on them, especially since they were all pretty awesome riders. I could kick their butts on bicycle rides to the Mica store & back to grandma's but I was 4 - 6 years older than them! I moved to Phoenix for college & stayed there for 15 years (not in school the whole time, just like half of it). I finally found work back in the NW and moved back to my property in 1998. I still didn't have a bike but every weekend, my bro and his buddies would come riding through my place while I was working on some project. My son was about 4 and my daughter was 2. My bro kept hassling me "When are you getting a bike?" yeah, yeah. We went to an Easter Picnic at one of my cousin's who has a mini-flattrack and my dad brought my nephew's (who was then like 15) old 74MR50 up for my son, then 4 1/2 to try out (he'd been riding his bicycle without training wheels for over a year). We showed the kid how to use the controls and he was off, around the track with my cousin running behind to steady him. He had the hang of it by the end of the day so the pressure was REALLY on for mom to get a bike. I made it through the summer of 99 without a bike, but in late fall, I had decided I needed to get one so I could keep track of the kid. My now ex-boyfriend and my bro helped me somewhat but I stumbled upon DRN and the now defunct XDB and found lots of good info and suggestions. I picked up a KLX300 in late November. The kid brought it out to my bros house and I took it for a spin up to my parents house. My bro said he figured I'd dump it for sure - that was it, I was buying it! After that, it was all over with. The ex-boyfriend was gone shortly after that, I met Karl at the shop I frequented and he showed up to ride on Mother's Day 2000 at the invite of my bro. Soon after that, I tried out Karl's CR500 and had to get one of my own and I've been trying to follow him ever since. [/QUOTE]
