I had never ridden anything on two wheels when I got that bike. Well, thats a lie. I rode a friends bike once when I was 15, before I even knew how to work a clutch with my hand. Rode it like 10 feet into the side of an RV, picked it up and moved it back to where it was, friend never knew any better

I learned how to work cluthces by hand later on, rode a lot of quads. Kicked the shit out of an 87 LT500R for about 4 years, that thing was a freakin beast. That fucker was on its last leg so i traded it to some douchebag for the 80 GS850, it had a big ol' windjammer fairing on it and shit, gay ass bars, ripped all that shit off and ordered some drag bars first thing. Spent like 7-8 years riding that before I finally could afford the SH in 04.

The guy that got the quad... I told him he had to fix the rear axle bearings before he even thought about riding it... that and it had a wasted clutch. Dumb ass fixed the clutch, didn't do shit with the rear axle bearings (they were loose as fuck, made the chain throw REAL easy, had already snapped the guard around the front sprocket, so I knew it was one more throw away from serious damage)... anyway, he fixed the clutch, fired it up, did 2 laps around his yard, threw the chain and it totally cracked the engine case, quad was done for. He got 10 minutes of riding enjoyment, I got 8 years. I think I made off better in that trade
