dirt bikes in the snow....

This weekend, we got to be part of Portland's snowpocalypse, complete with emergency warnings to not drive on the roads at all.  Not to be slowed down, we took our trusty Luciola and Nathan did donuts and drifts and all sorts of other fun rear wheel snow fun.  He even let me play for a while!  Today, we had some time to kill after the motorcycle show... Mall?  Or dirt bike?  Easy decision.... Dirt Bike!!  We got the trusty TTR out of the garage.  The electric start fired up on the first try!  It was a sign... a sign to floor it!  Or not... But we all took turns sitting back, sliding wild, and enjoying the ride! The snow was melty and the road had a nice layer of ice to play on.  I think the lessons of the day are that there is never a bad time to dirt bike, there is no end to the encouragement and laughter present in our family, and I cannot wait until my dirt bike is back to its mechanical mastery so I can go play on some real trails!
