The bike I bought was from a friend of mine, Bret. I have known Bret for over 15 years, in fact we were roommates at one point – and I should probably just leave those times to the history books. Nobody really needs to know the discussions after shooting crown at Champs, or the 2 AM 4x4 excursions in my Xterra. Bret had purchased a 2000 Yamaha XT 350 about a year ago, and painstakingly rebuilt it. He has a lot of blood, sweat and tears into that bike. We were catching up about a week ago, and I mentioned that I was going to buy a dirt bike. He suggested that I buy his as he was looking to move it. And as he said when we finalized the transaction under the twisted wood of the ancient Bois D’Arc tree, “the bike was staying in the family”.
We got out to the park around 10 on Sunday morning. When we got there we met Howard and Price, the owners of the park. These were two of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. They have a really well laid out off road park, and in my opinion are running it right. Parents can take their kids out and not have to worry about them getting run over while they learn or hone their skills. A little later, Dave and Dawn showed up, and around 1:00 Gary, Rachel, and the kids arrived. We had a nice set up under the shade of one of the trees. A little later in the day, Marcus arrived and brought our number to nine. The day was spent riding, talking, eating (thanks Rachel and Dawn for the great eats… AGAIN!), and just hanging out. A great way to spend a hot, sunny, Sunday afternoon in North Texas. Not exactly cruising around in an air conditioned Corvette, but once you were out on the trails trying to tear up your newly acquired Yamaha – you don’t need AC, and you forget exactly how old you are.
