Getting in shape!

[R7]

Starting to feel the pain of getting in shape again. All my riding gear that shrunk over the winter is now starting to fit again
Finally it seems as though I've been hitting the trails at least 2 or 3 times a week, and some SuperMoto action here and there as well (that Saturday ride had me hurting Sunday am)
I may even order some new tires this evening for the YZ450, as that is the bike I have been using the most in the woods. It's starting to work surprisingly well for me anyways..or either that I'm starting to not suck so much at dirtbike riding
A little change of pace today, I took the quad for a few laps! By far, much more of a workout to ride this beast in the trails than a bike. I managed 2 laps around the "easy" section and I was done.

I'll have to join you during the week down there fr week day afternoon rides.

As long as it's not a hockey night!

fudge man...I hear ya

I went out bouncing around on the trails 2 nights in a row which was awesome!

...but also exhausting. I'm a little guy, but I can usually squat something at the gym. Tonight? I didn't have the energy to squat anything

but glad to see you're keeping that YZ! and that quad is looking mighty fiiine

[Spooler]

I'm gonna admit my ignorance of quads and ask: where do your legs go on that thing?

yeah, i figured rather thangive the YZ away, I'll keep it and start using it. Actually i'm swapping over the WR450 suspension to the YZ to use that as my woods bike, and put the stiffer YZ suspension on the WR for SuperMoto duty.
Sadly the quad only has about 2 hours use on it, so it stays mighty fine looking with little effort

I'm gonna admit my ignorance of quads and ask: where do your legs go on that thing?

You lock your boots in the wheelie bar just in back of the seat, put your knees on the seat and hold on

It has foot pegs in the center, just like a bike.

You just plant your foot on the ground mid corner and then run over you own leg.

You'll only make that mistake once...and it typically won't end with just running over your own leg

[Paul_E_D]

Lol! Running yourself over has to be the funniest thing ever. When it happens you are like WTF, but powerless to stop it. It's even funnier if you are wearing shorts... Oooow!

Just more proof that quads are stupid (wait, did I day that out loud?!) J/K

I learned my lesson wearing shorts when i was younger..had an FMF scare on my leg for the longest time.
Quads are stupid to those that don't know how, or don't have the skill to ride them properly

Heading out for a ride at 6pm on the YZ. Just got done swapping over the MX suspension for some woods suspension, so it may be a learning curve this evening

[MysteriousR1]

And I may be able to join you in the next week or so...... Went and got me some prices and was quite happy.

Details please Will you have it by next weekend?

Did just over 4 miles today (1 lap around the "big" loop) and fell twice. Figured it wasn't my day and it was getting dark. I think Todd kept going and wanted to hit the 12 mile mark before calling it a a day

Ooh, guess the angle just makes it look like the fenders extend all the way back like wings. Looking closer I can see it....

[MysteriousR1]

09 KTM 450EXC I think when I had left they were around $7,400. Counts as a "on-road" bike so I can get 1.9% financing. Couple grand down, thats a cheap payment for what I picture as a whole lotta fun

Hmm, about 100 less than what I guessed Once you get it, hit me up. Practice at my house, then one weekend we can hit the real stuff at Pachaug...Oh wait, we did the hardest trail already on Motards

getting in shape for Hatfield McCoy this fall?

Hmm, I'm sure I could be talked into it but it's not in the plans for this year. Next year may be hard as well as I am planning a trip overseas.
I can't wait to get back to Hatfield McCoy though, just not sure if I'd take the bike or the quad
