I know there are plenty of funny stories and happening here, hope it's not redundantly repetitive. I don't usually use words like that
:nerd
But after hearing a few friends talk about funny things happening while riding, I thought I'd give it a go on here?
I have a few, probably not really that funny but I'll start with one from early on, round when I was fifteen.
I've had a few minibikes and small cc dirtbikes as a kid. But when I was fifteen some college kid sold me a penton 250cc dirtbike for nearly nothing (needed some small stuff) and I thought it was the baddest arse thing on the planet.
My little brother was almost afraid of it, he knew from the size and sound it was more than my other bikes, even though he was five years old and half crazy himself. LOL
One day out in the country where we would ride , he said he wanted to go for a ride on it, he seemed somewhat nervous.
He had ridden with me plenty of time, he would sit in front of me and grip the crossbar on the motocross handlebars.
I start out nice and slow in first gear, he asks me if I'm in the fastest gear? I said no, He screams GO FASTER! So I go to 2nd gear and cruising right along, He asks again are we in the fastest gear? I said nope He screams GO FASTER! so I go to 3rd and get going right along and again he asks,
Are we in the fastest gear? I say no, He screams GO FASTER! 4th gear same thing
This goes on for ever gear, I might be wrong but I think it was a six speeds? seems like it was? because I remember thinking at the time all others I have had were only five speeds? who knows
So I'm in the highest gear moving along a straight stretch of a dirt road and he asks "are we in the fastest gear? and I say "yes"
He screams ...SLOW DOWN!
Not sure why but that has always seemed funny
The time I gave a hitchhiking gal a ride will come later:ride not whatcha think.
