Is Summer Here Yet?

It seems that I have been waiting for the summer time riding, trips in general fun to begin now for ever. Yes I know it has just been 3 or 4 months since winter set in full bore but it just seems like it has been forever and a day. I am old enough to remember winters of the past, old enough to slip back in time and see snows deep enough that the would cover our families old chicken house. I have felt the air so cold as to freeze your nose hair once you step outside into it or the bitterness of a mid December air so frighteningly cold you could no longer feel your feet nor fingers after minutes being in it. But I have never seen a winter so long without a break mid way through it as this one has been....

Styles Of Riders - Part 1

First off it is not my intention to undermine or enhance anyone or any riding style. These thoughts are mine and mine alone.

Let me start by saying this is Part 1 of a 2 part article of things I have encountered, been apart of and observed while riding with my 3 closest friends, my wife Linda, my brother-in-law Jimmie his wife my sister-in-law Vicki. The second to be published in a few weeks.

Styles Of Riders - Part 2

Below quoted from: Mitch Johnson

“Nearly anyone who knows what ATVing is also knows that the sport appeals largely to the young population but the older crowd like myself find it interesting as well. The fact that it is mostly a younger activity makes it the root of much controversy. Many people protest the use of ATVs by children under 12 and others even believe teenagers under the legal driving age should be banned from driving ATVs. Though there are rules in place they appear to be not strictly enforced in most places but not all.”

Onward with my story

It is not my intention to undermine or enhance anyone or any riding style. The rider must always wear the protective gear required when riding any off road vehicle. These thoughts are mine and mine alone.

The Stupid Side…

We all are guilty of it at one time or another, it grasp us by our teeth and whisks us into a world we do know better of being in but just cannot seem to overcome the pull of it. Try as we may the overwhelming nature to be stupid usually wins. It does not matter if you have the brain power of a scientist or mathematician you will at some point in time be taken by stupidity.
