Drum Roll Please......................

Well better late than never. I promised some of you guys pics from my first ride after 10 years of not riding and I just didn't hand the camera off in time for that.
My good buddy drove his family 5 hours this last weekend to come stay with us and he brought his bike, so him and I went out riding to one of the local MX tracks that I sponsor. They weren't open to the public and the track was not watered but we made the best of it and had a good time. He told me that I need to let him take some pics of me riding since I didn't have any yet because I'm always the one with the camera. So, here are a few of the best shots that he got. Now remember, I'm just learning and only have about 10-11 hours on the bike, so I'm not at all fast and don't have anywhere near perfect form, but hey, I've got a beautiful bike, so just focus your attention on that. haha

Very nice

Last time I did that was when I was 16 and I almost destroyed my knee on that occasion :cry (trying a record breaking jump and landing in a potato field). Since then I could predict a change in weather. 10 years ago my knee completely failed when I was getting in my car and had to get an operation. After the operation I lost my "weather prediction knee" , BUT I started riding motorcycles again.

Kinda the same thing with me. I rode a bit as a kid then a short stint as a young adult until I messed up my shoulder, had surgery, then messed it up again. Doc said there was no fixing it now. So, I gave up riding dirt and went to street.

Recently got my son a bike and got to talking to the guy and he had the same shoulder injuries I had and he was able to get it really fixed by a guy in Houston. Long story short, I too went to get my shoulder fixed by him and he did it. I got the bike while still recovering from surgery and just started riding again.

Cool pics, nice bike too! It's nice to start riding again. I can't wait to be finished with college so I can ride more.

Good Deal Russ.. although, I think I like that truck better!

Hey, get that leg out in the turn! Lean the bike more! Get on the gas sooner! Hahahaha.. j/j man. Glad you're riding bro.

Got the best boots ever in those Gaerne's!

I wish I had given the camera to others while I was riding. I have very few and none current to share.

Here's about 3 or 4 years ago shot.
