Anyone like to ride offroad?



Recommended Posts

I love to adventure ride. I like going on every kinda terrain possible. I like single track and desert the best. I have a street legal Honda XR650R and a non street legal Yamaha 250. I have taken the big dirt bike on 1200 mile trips. My goal is to ride Copper Canyon, Mexico. I have lost enough weight to regain my confidence on the dirt. I can ride much longer and harder. I can now handle jumping without feeling like my knees are going to buckle. I am just over 4 weeks out of surgery and I am still taking it pretty easy. I lost 25lbs already, down 45lbs from my fattest. I need 25 more lbs to get into the normal body fat range. You guys that do not ride dirt should give it a try. It has made me a better street rider, plus it is a very good workout.

I use to ride the deserts around Yuma, AZ. I had a Honda Thumper. That was a street legal/trail bike 350cc. I had a blast doing all that back when I was 30 years younger and 90 lbs lighter. I finally got to the point in my life where I could afford a nice touring bike. I've done about 30K miles in the last 5 years. Sturgis and Washington, D.C. I told my wife she didn't have to worry about anything, why would I want to kill myself now??? But more power to you, Pilate. Ride it like you stole it!

As a young boy thru my teen yrs I did a lot of dirt bike riding. As I grew older and started hunting more and more. Around here you need an ATV to get the the site of the hunt. My friends and I all have either a 3-wheeler or 4-wheeler bought under the thought it was a need for hunting.

Down here in Bayou country we have a plenty of places to ride in the mud. My friends and I try to make a day of riding and having fun usually during the "wet season". It has become a big yearly event now as all of my original group all have kids involed in it now.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
