Hey.
I'm Liz, from New Jersey. I'm new to the whole dirt bike thing. I've ridden quads alot a couple years ago, I ride horses currently, and now my brother and his friends got me into dirt bikes. I have a 1991 Honda XR80R four stroke.
I'm hoping to meet some cool people here.

Welcome Liz!!! There are alot of really cool people on the site! Just post if you need any tips, or advice on anything and we will try our best to help you out!

Thank You Kawi!

Your welcome! Do you race or just ride?

I just ride. I started almost a month ago. Though, I can't do much riding for now. I was at a show Sunday and my horse bucked me off and stepped on my right hand. I can't brake smoothly yet, it hurts too much and I can't get my finger to hold the brake. But soon I'll be able to ride! I want to race, but I think I'm too chicken to do that.

Do you race?

I remember the first time I ever rode a horse, I got bucked off and broke my collar bone lol. Yea I race almost every weekend. I race Lites C class, Schoolboy, and Unlimited C/D. I'm sure your local tracks have a class that you would be comfortable racing in.

Oh wow! What a great experience first time on a horse! (sarcasm) That's horrible. Aww I'm sorry. =(
Umm I don't think there is a local track around me. If there is, I have no clue where it is and no one talks about it. I think people go to NY or PA for racing. I know one kid who lives like ten mins from me and he races in NY I think. It looks so cool. Is it fun/scary?

Lol yea never rode one since. Oh you could try www.wheretomx.com and find a track near you. Racing is awesome!!! I have had a broke shoulder and 3 concussions this year, but it doesent scare me ( mostly because I don't remember crashing lol ).

Oh ok. Thanks! I'll check out some tracks right now.
Haha oh nice, that makes me feel better about it. Not remembering... haha
Well, I'm not afraid of falling off my horse. When I fell off my horse this past Sunday, I literally did a flip off of him. I fell forward onto his neck then slid to the left and my legs went over my head and then I slid under his neck to the right.. I scared my dad a real lot. But I wasn't afraid. My hand just hurt like crazy from him stepping on it. Actually, when I was sitting on the ground crying right after I fell, I was thinking about how dirty I got my show outfit. haha
I'm pretty tough for a girl my age.

Lol nice!

Yup.
So how long have you been racing and riding? What kind of bike do you ride? Well obviously a Kawasaki..

I been riding for 4 years, but I been racing for 2. I ride a KX250F! I love it!

I want to become a really good rider, like go crazy. And show off and stuff. haha. But there's like no where to ride that's close.
My brother rides a Kawasaki KX125. There's a picture of it on my profile thing. It's nice, I love his decal kit. Though, I don't like the sounds of Kawasakis. I think they're too high pitched. My Honda is lower, but it sounds wimpy. haha but that's because it's an 80. Which is a good size for me, since I'm just starting. I would get a 100. But whatev. At least I got one to practice on! I wouldn't try my brother's though. That thing scares me. I can't touch the ground. On his friend's Kawasaki 80, I can touch the ground (tip of toes). I would try that one. But wow.. a 250? Thats.. big.. haha how tall are you?

I'm 5' 7" and I weigh 128 lbs or 130 just dependin on what day it is lol.

haha you keep up on your weight habits?
I'm 5ft 2in. I'm a shorty. See, that's why an 80 is good for me.

I, surprisingly, don't keep up on my weight. I'm not saying I'm fat, I have a pretty nice body (don't mean to brag). I just don't care enough. I eat whenever I want. It doesn't seem to effect me. Which is awesome. haha because I eat alot.
