dan, you forgot to add:
....and muddied up a trout stream, torn up a trail and generally trashed the
woods for anyone else.

You haven't felt the adrenaline rush of standing at the christmas tree,
dropping the clutch and feeling 750 cc's launch you from zero to 130+ mph in
a matter of seconds. You haven't seen the look on a little kid's face as his
dad brings him down the bike lane in the pits, or heard him as he says
"Cooool" or made his day when you let sit on the bike to have his picture
taken.
Ever had a dragster driver walk up to you and say "You are f****n' nuts."?
Have you ever heeled a bike so far and so hard in a corner that the shocks
bottomed out, kicking the rear tire out? You slide across the corner,
knowing that fence is really gonna hurt when you hit it, but somehow you
manage to get the tire to bite just before you hit the grass and you
accelerate away.
Later as you talk with your buddies, you know you didn't just push the
envelope, you tore through it. You cheated death and got away with
it............ and you've never felt more alive.

Ever had a "catostrophic engine failure" at 120 mph?..........And walked
away from it? That pavement gets mighty hot in a hurry.
Dirt..... smurt.......give the pavement and the twisties!
