Message: [QUOTE="dave186, post: 256743, member: 26367"] I was a lucky one too, my dad has been riding/racing since he was in high school, and when he married my mom, she rode also. So we have always had a few bikes kicking around, I got my first bike when I was in the 4th grade from my grandpa. It was a jalopy that he had pieced together, but I rode the crap out of it anyway. After i grew out of that, i rode my moms old bike, then i grew into my dads old bike. two years ago i saved up enough money and bought myself an older XR. I put about every penny I had into that thing and loved it, but about 6 months ago, the motor blew up (literally). So I guess my dad felt sorry for me, putting all that money into a bike thats now just a piece of scrap. So for Christmas he suprised me with my new KX. Ive always paid for most of my stuff, unless there is something unexpected that I cant afford. Im also lucky that we live out in the country so I can pretty much ride anytime I feel like it. Before I could drive myself, my parents would usualy take me riding on the weekends. Im just starting racing, and initially they didnt like the idea, but when I showed them the poster for the race I was going to, they kind of had to change there mind cause they knew I would go one way or the other. Now Im 18, so i dont have to worry about having them around everytime I want to go riding. If I was in you guys shoes, I would try to hook up with someone to take you riding. surely you know someone close by that rides? Dave [/QUOTE]
