Lol, funny you say that because I have always thought driving a semi would be enjoyable - although not with the current gas prices.

[...] and I gave it away about 2 years ago. This is actually one of the reasons that I hope to attend the Chopper College boot camp to learn a few skills that may make mods to my own bike more [...]

Yes I am. My kids ride out in Wedron at Fox Valley Off-Road, which is quite a bit out west of the Chicago suburbs.

I haven’t come anywhere close to enough donations to attend the school, not by a long shot. I’ve heard great things about them and if you decide to register, please tell them you heard about it here.

Do you live in IL? I’m in Elgin. Where do your kids ride the CRF? I will be buying my son one soon. Rocky Glenn Offroad park is probably the closest but kinda small. Looking for options.

I am interested to hear how the school is. Did you get enough donations to go?

Joe, I would never disagree given that I own a Harley.

As for the comment about crotch rockets being less safe, I think that is the nature of the bike. The people riding those bikes are more into the speed and pushing the envelope, unfortunately many of them do not have the riding skills to go along with that and they push things too far.

I’d like to have a garage full of different bikes but that is something I cannot afford so I stick with my Harley and love every minute of it.

You should check at your local library to see if they have the DVD versions of the cable shows, they would be a little older episodes but you could still get your fix!

I am a wanna be enthusiast I guess you could call it that. You can disagree but to me I still like a Harley. I also don’t think that crotch rockets are very safe I have seen way to many accidents with crotch rockets as opposed to other bikes at least here in my city. So yes I am into bikes. If I could afford cable I would watch West Coast Chopper every week.

Hopefully I will be able to scrounge up enough money one of these days to attend the class as I too think it is very cool.

Are you into bikes at all?
