    I just bought a Kawasaki KX 450, and rode it for the first time at Highland Park last weekend. I had a blast riding the trails. It has been 20 plus years since I have been on a dirtbike, and it took some time getting used to riding, such as different-body posiiton, using rear brake, standard shift, etc. The very first turn I went in to was a left hander. I tucked my shoulder, lowered my body, leaned in to the turn, and quickly wiped out. Nobody told me the proper way to ride was different. I was with Rodney, and thank goodness he was in front of me because he had his Go-Pro on recording me all day. I am sure if he got this on film it would be posted somewhere on the net.

    Got a new toy to tow the trailer with and I'm in the process of breaking the bike down to completely clean it. Possibly some new goodies on the bike coming early spring too.

    Training...hard.

    I am up at 3am and get in 1.5hrs of mixed cardio. Then do another 30-40min of cardio in the afternoon.

    ...and of course, dieting.

    I have lose 27lbs so far since the Grand Nationals back in October...and plan on losing 10-15 more pounds.

    I also picked up a little 110cc dirtbike to play on/train with too.

    I am doing the Cornerspin School (dirt bike training with an emphasis on Road Racing skills) at the end of January. DiSalvo is going to try to take it with me, but he isn't sure about his schedule yet.

    I'm definitely trying to build up some cardio and I've started doing the deep knee bends again to try and build up my legs from........mush to muscle. The only problem I've encountered so far is that I have to wear my molded ear plugs when doing the knee bends.........all that popping and crackling gets LOUD! :D

    Quit Beer? Say it ain't so (I keep hearing all this talk about the "Broken Cow' or whatever it was that people were raving about)...
