I hear ya BP and hope your recovery is fast. I have been down a few times although not as bad as your wreck but I to will carry some metal bits and some foreign soil to my grave. I have a reconstructed face, left shoulder, hip and knee due to being shot twice and fragged by an IED not to mention the broken bones and scares from years of MX and hill climbing on bikes.

You seriously dont think 5 year olds can ride dirt bikes?? My oldest son (11) got his 1st bike a 5 years old - 49cc His younger brother who just turned 4 at the end of Feb. is about to start riding it (just needs to be a bit taller so he can safely get his toes on the ground lol)

here's an eye opener for ya (and this little dude is 3) - http://youtu.be/l3pgH5mOHqE

I think the Fat Boy Lo looks best in the Big Blue Pearl this year.

Of the two, I'd vote Vivid.

Denim is so in and so badass, even the rubs are doing it.

While it's not black, it is denim. This is how mine looks now, hard to tell any difference from when it was new 5 years ago.

I don't clean my bike a lot and it usually looks clean. Maybe because it's a in a garage when I don't ride and I don't ride in the rain but ..... when I do clean the bike it takes me 10-15 minutes and I use windex on the chrome.


I always read that argument about the "I got a Black denim because I don't like to clean my bike" and I think its a silly argument.
