This is funny timing. Last night after riding the town a bit running errands, going to the gym blah blah... I get home and tell my wife I feel like I did when I was a kid on a dirt bike running from the LAW I keep wanting to run off the road and ride through a field to make it authentic.

It brings out the kid in me for sure. To think all of those Harley riders must feel so legit

Yep.. A lot of people these days just have nothing better to do. Their lives are boring, their wives/husbands nag them, and for the most part they are living a miserable life so they try to bring others down. Heard that saying - "Misery loves company"? It's 100% true!!!

I feel the same way.. If I'm not harming anyone, keep the #$*@ out of my business. I couldn't care less what others do if it's not hurting anyone. The world would be a *MUCH* better place if people just lightened up a bit.

That's funny. I was worried about getting pulled over while waiting for my plates to come.

That's awesome, reminds me of the kid on the motorcycle in the old Bad News Bears movie, come on we all wanted to be that kid right?

I absolutely understand this!!! I'm *constantly* scanning for stuff to ride off-road. Makes street riding sort of dangerous for me... Of course, in Utah, there are so many dirt roads going everywhere, it's hard to choose.

I use to ride this bike until 2 years ago because I got tired of the cops always showing up at my house. Every time the cops showed up, it was the same story. Someone was riding a very loud "racing bike" on the streets. Racing bike I think not! 2-stroke, yes indeed and about 8 times louder than the KLX. But 100% street legal. One time a cop came to my house for the 2nd time took one look at me, and said "I remember you, just never mind I'll be on my way now I know your bike is legal." People just need to leave other people alone. But, I will see what will happen this year, because I put plates back on it.

x2. The older I get the more I don't like them. Except you guys. You guys are great. Maybe because you're all far away and don't borrow my stuff and never bring it back. Keep up the good work!
