Out in the wilderness with my KDX
Posted: 02:43 pm Jul 08 2017
I live far out in the wilderness. The nearest human is 12 miles away. There are no stickers, licenses, fees, signs or rules where I ride. It is the last of the free riding places left. I can go 50 miles in three directions before I encounter any signs of un-civilisation. My motto is that I don't stop for anything especially any official looking vehicles that I might blow by. I grew up riding in the forest long before they started making up all kinds of fees and rules. I refuse to pay to ride where it is my right to ride.
Nothing can catch me when I'm on my KDX as it is like riding on the back of a deer or an antelope.
I remember when I got my first brand new KDX back in 1992. I had always ridden a Suzuki 185 for the many years before the KDX......I now refer to that bike as an ass hammer. I came around a corner where this log had been laying across the road for years......with my old ass hammer Suzuki I always slowed down and gently bumped over it.........But that day on my new KDX I was having so much fun I forgot about that log being there......as I came around that corner and seen the forgotten log I braced for impact....bumped the clutch to lighten the front end.....and there was no impact.....I was amazed at how that suspension just ate up that old log........if I would have hit that log with my old ass hammer Suzuki going that fast it would have been probably disastrous.......at that moment it started a true love affair with the KDX and I have been an addict every since.
Most of you guys on this wonderful website would call me an old timer as I'm 58 years old........but I'll keep up with the best of you as I been on dirt bikes since the dinosaurs were here......To me the whole game is about not crashing. I have had friends that were balls to the wall fast riders........way faster than me......but I always knew I would beat them because they would always crash. Ego has gotten more riders messed up than I can remember. Don't ever let your ego make you crash.......ok.....have fun all you KDX riders....and don't stop for anything!
