In 2003, a couple of friends of mine invited me to go out and ride their dirt bikes. A year earlier I had sold my jet ski, and was itching for something fun to do. It only took 1 ride and I was hooked. I soon bought my first bike, a 1998 CR500. I learned a lot on that bike and road it until late 2004. In December of 2004, I sold the 500 and bought a new 2005 CRF450R which I still ride today.

The 500 was so much fun, I had to go back that same year for the 1000. This time we camped on the beach in San Felipe.
Not long after getting my new 450, I had the opportunity to go to Mexico for the Baja 500. I went with the DP Racing Team and pre-ran the course the week before the race. I had a great time as we camped in the middle of no where and road all over the Baja peninsula. The course traversed beaches, mountain forests, barren deserts, and small villages.
A weekend trip to Logandale. Camping and riding fun out there.
After riding for a year or more, I rode a friend’s 2004 CRF450 and was hooked. The lower center of gravity seemed to make the bike feel so much lighter and easier to ride compared to my 500. So, not long after I sold the 500 and bought a new 2005 CRF450.
After riding with a couple of friends just one time, I was hooked and had to get a bike. My first bike was a 1998 Honda CR500R.
