The good the bad and the dirty
Chasing the rabbit. That's what it feels like riding through ruts and whipping the tail of an almost motocross style motorcycle around sharp bends on a treelined, muddy and often wet fire road. Rabbits run fast and change direction quickly, as though there's only one speed: a frenetic, haphazard, and chaotic pace. It felt that way at times anyway.
Look up the form of racing called Hare Scramble. Typically a race course where a rider will navigate through obstacles such as creek beds, logs, hills, mud, rocks and ruts. The only obstacle on that list not tallied by me are logs. I draw the line. No logs. Maybe one day. But that'll take some practice.
The idea behind picking up a used dirtbike was to prolong the season after it's too cold or wet or both for riding on the street. A 2004 Suzuki DR 650. It's not a motocross bike by any means but with long travel suspension, a torquey motor and beefy wheels and other parts to withstand being laid down or dropped, it can handle a lot of rough terrain.
And the other reason to buy a dirtbike? Because it's a blast!

Or, if it's a bowl of over ripe bananas you may still get a present, ill feelings be damned, because it's been 15 years and both of you think "whatever", give me my present, I deserve it after 15 years.
It went like this - Her: order something for yourself. Me: Tell me what you want and I'll get it. Done deal. Now I'm the proud owner of
