That is freaking crazy!


In my late teens and early 20s I only ever rode motorcycles. My first bike was a Honda XL250 (the first model). I would practice riding slowly. When approaching a red light I would leave putting my feet on the ground until I lost balance. And every time I left an intersection I would have my feet on the pegs before moving off. People who still had their feet on the ground across an intersection used to make me shake my head in disgust.
I would ride trails and look for rocky ascents and descents just for fun.

I went to a local trials meeting and was offered a ride over a relatively easy section. Yeah, I was thinking, I'll have a bit of a clue as to what to do. Hahaha... stupid youth. The steering and throttle response was nothing like what I was used to. To say I was out of my depth is a bit of an understatement.
