thats it, i still remember like yesterday when i bought it. just a few days later i had a wreck on it that put me in the hospital. my dad was a home builder and owned like 4 lots side by side and my buddies and i made a track on them. a neighbor that hated the fact that we rode our motorcycles on it, dug a big hole in the night and covered it with weeds and dirt. when i went over it, the front tire hit the other side of it propelling me several feet and i hit my head on a big rock. it cracked a bell helmet down the middle. lucky i didnt break my neck. i remember the police talking to the guy but with no proof nothing ever happened legally. i do remember he put his house up for sale and moved right after that.
