I love Saturday racing. Kevin Reno of LEMX, along with his great crew, like Jayme always make it a fun and safe racing event. With perfect weather, a freshly groomed track and great people … it all added up to a great race day at Lake Elsinore Motocross Park.
Id met up Mauler at LEMP last Tuesday in the late afternoon. We often meet up during the week for a ride and then get back work. On occasion, my beautiful wife actual tells me … “Please go riding, just go and de-stress yourself.” Ya just gotta love that …
While just goofing around however, I had a miss-hap. It makes for a good story. Mauler saved my butt big time. And albeit that was not his intention, the outcome was very much appreciated. Ya see our bikes made contact on landing a jump. Well, Mike was landing, I was bouncing. Id came up short and earned a harsh case. As mentioned, I bounced, and then swapped hard … right into Mike’s line. Yup, im sideways & screwed!
Mike is trying to avoid contact with me, during my sideways flight path, but hits my swing arm with his rear tire. The force was enough to push my rear end back over. Sweet, … suddenly im traveling fairly straight. I still put my foot down to keep’er on two wheels, but this was much better than taking a full digger, sideways. So thanks again Mike, and sorry about almost taking you out … again!
Ya, so my right foot is jacked up. Hey, at least its not broken, my big toes is … but that doesnt count. I should be back riding in a few more weeks. Its very soar, and really ugly. Love the purple, black and red colors! Plus my 120lb dog is an injury magnet, with big feet –
Thats two decent injuries sustained this year. In being that im a numbers man, this highly suggests ive got my crashes all done for the year. Then I should be good-to-go and crash free the remainder of the 2007 Nice!
