Terry says he don't need no stinkin' sport bike to get some air. :nana2

We went to the Red River this weekend for some fun and relaxation. There were some challenging trails.

The only downside was when I took a header over the handlebars and smacked my face into the front rack, opening a cut under my nose. Coulda' stood a few stitches, but I hate to go to the ER for less than 10, so I globbed on some super glue, and so far it's holding. :tu:

Fun riding. knana

Super glue is our friend. :beer: Looks like y'all had a blast. Makes me want to buy a quad.

That is a genyoowine John Deere gimme cap that I'm wearing, and those are considered helmets here in Texas. Donning one is commonly followed by "Here, hold my beer and watch this". :tongue: Followed by "Ouch, that's gonna' leave a mark".:rolleyes:

:rll: and it did leave a mark, love the super glue fix.:rll:

Been there done that on a couple of suspension installs and pulley changes, Crawford's change was the worst one, saw ligaments and bone, but only had duct tape available.

Careful out there, Brian! By Red River, do you mean Meunster, also?

It's a wonder I haven't hurt myself seriously in the past on my brother's Warrior as we saw some serious air below. Helluva' high seeing all the land from above. :bows

Oddly enough, my craziest wipe-out was on my mt. bike. My right-side radius/ulna was jammed almost up to my knuckles.:eek2:

It wasn't so much the pain-factor, but the visual at the moment.:o
