So, my oldest son has been back in the States since early this summer. He spent the first two years after college living and working in China as a teacher and exploring Asia in his free time.

While in China, he wrote for the largest English language magazine and got quoted in a Texas Monthly online article about Texas expats living in China.

He has freelanced some moto-related pieces and last month we took a trip out to California to do some high desert dirt bike riding. Here is a piece that the fine folks at advpulse.com published. I even got in via the first couple pictures, ha!

I figure since it is moto-related some of you might want to read his piece.

Danny, it is funny because some of the characters/riders that my son based his story on are guys you have ridden with for sure!! All in good fun and the story is just supposed to be humorous and good for a few laughs.
 
Fun article and an enjoyable read. Truly written by a fellow who's been there.

Y'all may not know Johnf3 has two sons. Both are fine young men that any Dad would be proud of. (Obviously Mrs. Johnf3 was a major influence along the way :))

I think I have been all seven at different times myself! I dragged both my kids through all the single track I have ridden since they were about six years old, so they don't bat an eyelash at much of anything. They don't know any better. :mrgreen:
