from street to dirt... its about time...

Post by markvfr »

Hey all, I've been directed to this site from other riders on TT, thanks Chucker! :applause:
I've been riding street for the past seven years, and even though I've wanted a dirtbike for a loooong time, I couldn't afford one. Well, I am now a proud owner of a 06 WR450 (to help the blue/orange ratio on this site)...

Great site. And I want to take my baby for a run this coming friday (taking a day off) . I wanted to head to the Koo but seems like the weather won't cooperate. I still might... Anyone interested in going for a ride on Friday? Maybe the pit south on 2A?

Cheers, :cheers:

Thanks Banffboy, I got the nod from you and Chucker on coming here and I'm glad I did.

Well, I was planning on coming to the meeting on Thursday but I forgot I've got a company ski day that day. I know, its tough being me... :)

:cheers:
