Not ready for the "Depends" just yet, but started filling out the "AARP" application this morning :lol:

Jfab- thanks again for letting me borrow your bike. It was very gracious of you and much appreciated. You have made a beleiver out of me in the KX450 and as soon as I can come up with a way to get Starfleet Command (my wife) to agree to it, I WILL own one.
Just so you all know- Stewart invited me to ride with the boys on one of his big bore 500's and I didn't think much of it, I wasn't intimidated by the engine's size- I just wanted to get out an ride. While I haven't been actively riding for quite awhile, I figured "Hey, I used to ride and race 250's... I'll just respect the 500 and make sure I don't try to ride it like a 250 or 125." Well that would have worked if I could have kickstarted the dang thing. I was given a quick education in high-compression engines. I only weigh 160lbs and I COULD NOT get Stewart's bike to fire up. Stewart and friends were patient with me, and after kick starting the bike for me after stalling it several times, Jfab loaned me his 450 and I greatly appreciate it. I came home sore, arms pumped, right knee swollen, picking gravel out of my helmet/jersey/pants (which is another thing I learned quickly, and that is you do not get behind one of Stewart's bikes, especially without a chest protector!!) and I was in an awesome mood the rest of the night. Watching his bikes wheelieing through 5th gear and climbing the chat piles was awesome. Thanks Stewart!!

I didn't use any of my pre- made excuses. On the big hill I just said "I'm not climbing that."
