ah yes, motor bikes can be fun.
my dad had a hobby of buying old bikes and rebuilding them....usually
indurro's, that is, street legal dirt bikes, generally the smaller kawasaki
bikes.
so i had lots of opportunities as a kid to ride them in open or relatively
safe environs.
I'm not sure to this day why i never broke bones in some of the episodes i
had when trees or ditches or sudden drops came unexpectedly into my path.
the first two bikes we had when i was about 5 were the honda trail70 mini
bikes. We literally wore them out by the time i was about 8.
