Re: How I learned to ride - old pic fest

Young and dumb, but the fun never ended! I think some of the dumb stuff stuck with me too.

Re: How I learned to ride - old pic fest

I decided to add some of the old shots into a new picture I have - here is how we all turned out:

The number one rule for this forum!
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)
Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Re: How I learned to ride - old pic fest

Dad was looking at these pics with me the other day, and he told me something I didn't know - the below pics (repeat from earlier) were my first time out on my KDX80. I had ridden it in the backyard a little to learn the clutch, and then did these the next time we went riding. So less than a month prior to this, I was on a Z50 and had never used a clutch. Explains why we had somebody spotting on that hill - I only remember him being up there this one day, but I didn't remember why.

It also means I could barely tip-toe this bike at the time - it was a BIG step up from a Z50 to a KDX80. (When my brother moved from XR80 to XR200, he had to get the bike rolling and then hop on - he literally couldn't hold it up with any part of his leg still on the seat)

Kids learn fast!

Oh yeah, I used to kick that left leg up every time I did one of these kinds of hills - no idea why - I remember it, and it just felt right. I tried it the other day and it doesn't feel right anymore.
