Well it started out with just me and a few buds picking up lil crf50's to play around on, and after buying 3 crf50's for some gawd awful reason with me not needing that many I decided to part ways with them and got an early Christmas present. My uncle and I got the owner of Chattanooga MX to have a pitbike class for us one weekend and then that really started the addiction for me to need to sink more $$ into this crap. After realizing the lil 10" bikes were way to small for my long ass legs I decided to pick up a 12" bike and get rid of the crf50's.
My early Christmas present...

1st time out on it, man this thing is completely different from having my knees bent up in the bars haha. Never really been in the dirt much before, so dont make to much fun i'm learning. Been on a track once on a stock crf50 so needless to say i've never really jumped anything in my life, if only I can catch on like I did on the street I may be alright in a few months of seat time.
I've gotten like an hour of seat time on the bike, and the next race is this weekend so we'll see how close to last I can finish haha. I dont care though, this shit is so much fun bangin bars on these lil bikes!
Been having so much fun on these, the poor CBR hasnt seen any action in a long time sadly so I think shes gettin a lil jealous...:nod:

Thanks man, yeah i'm hoping I can stay out of that place for a while... 2 week long stays this year is plent enough haha, I forgot how weak I was from that crap until I started this stuff and man I really have lost any amount of stamina I used to have lol. Nah no big bikes for me, I get to ride those at work and man are they awesome but no where near as fun as these pitbikes...:nod:
How you been doing man? Been a long time...

Yeah, life is funny like that... I disappeared for a while because back in February my family found out that my Mom had breast cancer, She had to have surgery and now is about a month away from being done with chemo, then she will have to have radiation. The good news is the doctors say the prognosis is very good that there will be no furthur effects from the cancer. Prayer has been my friend alot lately... Get out and live life, be responsible but dang, do stuff that makes you happy like riding your pit bike/ street bike, you just never know when something will happen... I am really glad to see you healthy and happy. Hope your wife is doing well, too...

Man, I am so sorry to hear about your Mother... I couldnt imagine having to go through that with my mom, my prayers are with you and your family I hope the best for you guys. If shes anything like you she couldnt be any nicer of a person and its truly a sad thing that people have to go through stuff like this.
You've got that right about getting out and living life, situations in the past year have really showed me exactly what you said theres no telling when something can take us "away"... She's doing well, thanks for the kind words. Take it easy, and keep me posted about your mom...

lol yup you had the same battle I had then with the long ass legs haha... Ahhh man, once you try out a midsize theres no going back! Well its a bad addiction so I wont say theres no going back, because i'm sure i'll have another lil 10" bike soon but this is a whole different world. I've been fighting myself on ordering a set of spare wheels to do that exact thing...:nod:

Shootin ya a PM ho...;)
And Froggie, what kind of pit bike is that?

Well got to take her to the track for the 1st time, and man what a blast! The stock suspension was working flawlessly, and like a wet dream compared to my lil stocker 50 out there haha. Luck was not on my side though, after my practice the bottom fell out of the sky and it got real real bad out on the track so the night was over...
Good news, only gotta wait till this weekend for the next race haha... Plus it'll give me a lil more time to hopefully get my jetting dialed in perfectly, and hopefully get my pipe on i'm itching to hear what it sounds like.
Still loving this thing, really a quality bike!
Found a pic from the short practice before the bottom fell out of the sky... I know its nothing special, but hey its all I could find from the practice if ya wanna be a hater...:nod:

What would it cost to get into that stuff? What are track fees and such. I really need something to do badly.
