[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 790000, member: 50197"] I rode motorcycles from age 14 to 18. Strictly for transportation, although I did take my Honda 350 "Scrambler" out in the woods for fun once in a while. Not really a dirt bike, but I enjoyed riding trails in the woods with it on occasion. I remember one time I was riding a trail after a decent amount of rain. I had to "portage" around a really deep puddle in the main trail. Ended up going through a narrow gap in a couple trees and got the frame hung on a small downed tree under the mud. I couldn't really get off and push it, so I tried rocking back far enough to get some traction on the bottom of the mud. Finally managed to get out, but was covered with mud from head to foot. Stopped by my girlfriend's house on the way home to borrow their garden hose before the mud dried too much. She got a really good laugh out of that. Never really got motorcycles out of my blood, but have never really had the money to indulge without cutting back something I wanted more. The thought of getting out on the road today on one does not appeal to my sense of wanting to stick around this mortal coil for my four score and 6. That's rushing up pretty quickly as is. [/QUOTE]
