Best Experience on a Motorcycle

Each and every day at the track is another day in paradise.

Worst Experience on a Motorcycle

I saved money mowing lawns and got a minibike at age 7. At least that’s my story; in reality I think my parents bought me a minibike and let me think I paid for a lot of it. Anyway, we took it out to the local dirt riding area, where my dad strapped a helmet on my noggin and put me on the thing. I immediately pinned it and rode straight through the world’s largest mud puddle and almost straight into a pickup truck with about 25 people watching and laughing. Thankfully video cameras, let alone youtube, hadn’t been invented yet.
