It’s Time To Get Dirty
I have wanted a dirt bike since I was a little kid. I don’t recall now how or why exactly I fell in love with them, I just know that I obsessed over every Dirt Bike magazine I could get my hands on. Growing up on a farm in somewhat rural central New York state, you would think that I had a little dirt bike on the farm then. No. No I had a bmx bike that I rode and made revving “brrraaap! brrraaaaaaap!!” noises on, but I never had a dirt bike. Today, I took a step back into my childhood.
I still have gear to get (helmet, goggles, gloves, pants, jersey, knee and elbow pads, roost deflector, boots), but with the money I saved buying a used bike I’m feeling pretty damn good about it overall. I secretly hope to get enough gear tonight and tomorrow to take a quick ride this weekend! Stay tuned.

Aw man, that is sooooo cool, *YaY* for Lee!!!
omg, so weird though, when I saw that recent photo you took of the “custom bike” (9the one with the weird wooden seat), I had this thought in my mind that for sure the next ‘toy’ you’d get for yourself, is a dirtbike…. ooooh, freaky huh?!
Well Lee, you continue to allow me to play vicariously through you, so thanks for that!
Rock on,

p.s. Cycle Gear is having their annual ‘Wicked’ sale this weekend! I’ve gotten all my dirtbike gear from them!
Hi Shannon! Yep, although I didn’t get items on sale for the Wicked Weekend at Cycle Gear, I did get a bunch of my gear there anyways because it was already on sale the weekend before. Stay tuned.. more dirty posts will surely be made!
