ecurbh is on a borrowed QH mare, before we had Cyn. This was his first trail ride.
Only ride things that go clip clop, clip clop.... ;~D
Going 100 mph on a motorcycle would get my blood pumping so fast I'd have a heart attack.
Well, good to have you here. Would you like to be put on the morning ping list to this thread.

I did ride a guy's big dirt bike once. He told me what to do, I headed off down the trail, and when I came to the first bend, I tried to turn and it went straight. I finally bailed off it, it went about 10 feet and hit a tree. ;~D
I love the sound of a Harley. In fact mine is louder then Macks. I had him put straight pipes on it to make it louder. Love going under underpasses and reving the engine.

When you get thrown off a horse what do ya do?
You get back on and try again. :)

I'm not big on doing 100...I have done about 90 tho:).
Mack fusses a bit sometime because he says I go to slow, I don't keep up with him. One time I told him, I wanted to lead so I didn't feel so pressured to go fast. We were going down an expressway, I was really enjoying not having any pressure, thought I was within the speed limit, my speedometer doesn't work. Mack pulled up by me laughing and said, look at my speedometer. I was doing 90.
Becky
I'll just watch for now... ;~D
Well, don't feel bad. My bike is actually for sale. I've never really gotten comfortable on them, and like riding with Mack better then riding my own. We got a Gold Wing a few years ago, and that is a blast.
I actaully feel safer on a horse.
As far as the speed goes, I can go fast. I just like to build to fast slowly, on horses and bikes, that's my problem with runnin barrels. YOu have to be full out in 2 strides. Keeping up with Mack is like that, you have to be full throttle in 10 feet.

ACCCCKKKKK - Saying on a card on my desk at work "Don't live faster than your guardian angel can fly"
Brrrr... it looks really cold there!
OOHHHH....that looks bad. I hate winter. But today it's suppose to reach 70 here.
Becky
Good saying:) Our guardian angels are probably tired, and hate seeing us get on the bikes. But they have sure done a good job for us.
Thank you Lord:)
Becky
Have I mentioned I hate winter :)
I worry so much about bike riders. There are a lot here and they are so vulnerable it seems. People in cars seem to think they can stop on a dime. I've watched some dummies tailgate a bike, for heaven's sake. How the guys on the bikes keep their cool I don't know.
Anybody that tailgates me on a bike won't do it again. I slow down and give them the one finger wave. :)
