4th of July Family Ride
Posted: July 4th, 2007, 7:52 pm
Even though I have two bikes down right now the boys and I found time this morning to get out and ride!!!!:woot:
I was on a Honda ATC 185 my oldest was on his YZ250 (that needs to be jetted badly) and my youngest was on my wifes Honda Recon. With these three wickedly fast and awesome machines we decided to go and tear it up around the hills just to the east of my house. The boys made me take the lead so I decided that even though I was on a 3 wheeler I was going to do my best to make them work to keep up. Found out they had absolutely no prob doing that!
The ATC was tossing me around like a rag doll seeing as it as no suspension. Every bump tossed me the opposite direction I wanted to go. I had a blast riding that old 3 wheeler slinging it around in the corners and all.
We rode for about 2- 1/2 hours by about half way through the ride temps were starting to hit 105 or so. My oldest was starting to get wore out so the last 1/2 hour or so he jumped on the couch I took his bike and the youngest was on the ATC. Somewhere on the ride back the shift lever broke off of the ATC and my boy didn't even notice until about two blocks from the house. Talk about paying attention!!!:miss:
My youngest had the helmet cam so we have some video I will post as soon as he gets it finished.
Did I mention I had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!
